vomit vp such water as they drinke Heerewithall may reason be inferred for the reconciling of two famous Physitians that seeme to haue vttered contrarie opinions or doctrines that is Galen and Auicen This man saith that mad men die vpon the drinking of water and Galen contrarywise saith that the drinking of it is good for them To which it is answered that if the madnesse be in the beginning the drinking of water is wholsome but if it be farre gone and the feare continueth then doe they die by drinking thereof because the vitall spirit is almost wholely dissipate so that vpon small occasion and very speedily it is extinguished Iulian Palmarius thinketh that whatsoeuer the right cause of their fearing of water may be there is some extreame antipathy or contrariety betwixt that madnesse and water because beside this exceeding feare of water it hath beene obserued by experience that if the new bitten wound bee but washed with water the bitten body can afterward very hardly or neuer be cured freed froÌ„ madnes for that the water by this antipathie driueth forceth this kind of poison so deeply into the body as it cannot be fetcht out againe or very hardly Therfore it behoueth such as be bitten to take heed of washing the wounds with fresh water This opinion of Palmarius seemeth very truth-like Petrus Salius very litle differing in opinion from Palmarius saith that the poison of doggish-madnes followeth no peculiar temperament but is a poyson of the whole substance which being communicated to man very slily or secretly polluting the humors without any sense or perseuerance of hurt and by little and little creeping from part to part as soone as euer it toucheth any principall part it disturbeth and greatly vexeth it causing great thirstinesse At which time if the sicke doe drinke or take any liquid thing they are tormented very extreamely in their inward parts This cannot be by reason of any temperature because they feele one kind of torture whether they drinke hot liquor or cold but by the peculiar nature of that kinde of poyson which as it is a poyson hurtfull to man for the whole substance thereof so hath it an antipathie or contrary disposition in it to all liquid things by which it becommeth so exasperate and cruell as the inward parts by the terrible pangs and grypings thereof are more miserably vexed then otherwise they should be This saith Salius I haue noted to be the cause from whence they haue euen from the beginning abhorred liquid things because all with one consent haue affirmed that by the drinking of them they haue been exceedingly afflicted After the tryall whereof they haue loathed and detested all sorts of liquors so greatly as the onely sight of them hath giuen occasion to turne them into the like tortures and sometime worser This opinion seemeth so well to bee liked of Codronchus that he nothing dissenteth from it But otherwise so different haue been the opinions of other Writers as the true cause of this Hydrophohie or water-feare seemeth so secret and hidden as the most learned and ingenuous haue been and are encombred by the search thereof and therefore for breuitie I leaue it and passe to the cure of this miserable and fearefull kind of madnesse The Cure WHEN one is bitten of a dogge and resteth doubtfull whether he were mad or not it were good to make a tryall by moystning a peece of bread in the bloudy wound and offering it to a hungry dog which if he refuse to eat it is very like that the byting dog was mad For this tryall hath been found more assured than the giuing it to Pullen For so exquisite is the smelling sense of dogs as they are able to discerne therby that poisonous infection which they are so apt to be hurt by But hens and poultry haue been seene to eat such kind of bread or nut kernels as haue been moystned in the wound without any hurt thereby It were good also to note or hearken whether he did byte any other creature else or whether he were noted to be afraid of water or the sight beholding of looking glasses or other bright things If the byting dog were knowen or found to bee mad the wound that he hath made be great suffer it to bleed wel a good while together that some part of the poison may come forth with the bloud But withall let the bitten member bee presently bound about three or fower fingers bredth aboue the wound with a garter or such like thing reasonable hard for the better restraint of the poysons piercing For this kind of practise by the testimonie of Galen and the experience of others hath been found very profitable in prohibiting the speedy piercing of poyson by the bytings of serpents and venemous creatures Yet if the part bound doe grow benummed senseles by the hardnes of the binding let it be slackned somewhat lest the bound member might thereby be mortified But if the bitten wound be in such a part as cannot be handsomly bound then let some astringent medicine bee applyed some reasonable distance aboue the wound such as this Take oyle of roses and myrtils each an ounce of bole armenake sanguis draconis myrtils and sumach each halfe a dram Temper these together with the white of an egge well beaten and a litle vineger then spread it vpon a linnen cloth and binde it aboue the wound moystning it with vineger or laying to fresh when it is dry Or if the rest cannot presently be gotten then in the meane time till they may be gotten vse the white of an egge beaten with a little vineger Yet alwaies prouided that these or such like astringent medicines be applyed quite beyond the place of the poysons abiding For if the poyson haue gotten beyond them they may be a meanes to force it further into the bodie But if the wound be small and nothing perceiued but the foame or slauer about it then wash away the foame with the vrine of a boy or with lie or such like and then dilate or enlarge it by paring awaie the flesh round about that the hole may bee round which some call circination For by this meanes the wound will the more easily be kept open and not heale so soone as otherwise it would Which maner of practize Galen doth approue Lib. de theriaca ad Pisonem Cap. 16. Some only scarrifie or scotch the skinne round about it that it may bleed reasonable well After the vse of circination or scarificatioÌ„ let ventozes or cupping-glasses be set on with a good flame and then either cauterize it with a hot iron or rather with a cauterie of gold except the place be sinowe and very sensible This cauterizing is commended by all writers as the most sure remedy for the extinguishing of the virulent matter contained in the wound which though it be terrible to the eye yet the pain therof continueth not so long as that which is caused by

of a Priest shall neede none other remedie then onely this for his cure But of what force this superstitious remedy is he sheweth by an example of one bitten by a madde dog who very orderly and deuoutly had taken this sanctified bread and water and had the wound well healed vp as he thought Yet about two monthes after catching a great blow or brusing vpon the botome of his belly he was presently vexed with a feuer and a doggish madnes with all the symptomes and consequencies that vsually accompany this manner of madnes and very shortly after in great wretchednes and miserie tooke his leaue of this world After the first three or foure daies from the beginning of the hurt if the venome be perceiued to be of so quicke operation as it is dispersed through the body let purging be vsed or if it seeme to be of slowe proceeding as in flegmatike and melancholike bodies whose humours are grosse and passages narrow let a longer time be past before purging hauing yet a care to apply conuenient remedies to the bitten place And when purging is perceiued to be needfull then let it be performed as the occasion shall seeme to require although the matter be neither concocted nor doe boile or mooue in the body The like consideration some hould of phlebotomie though Salius can in no fort like of this in any body tainted with any kind of poison And indeed the ancient Greekes as Dioscorides Galen Orâ—basius Paulus and Actuarius where they speake of this infirmitie doe show by their silence or not mentioning of phlebotomie to dislike thereof and some excellent men of the late writers as Fracastorius Fernelius and Capinaccius do disswade the practise of it But such as do approne it doe withall aduise that it be not in any wise put in practise in the beginning least the poison that remaineth then about the bitten place might thereby be drawne from thence into the inward parts of the body Neuerthelesse when such practise hath beene neglected as ought to haue beene vsed at the first and the venome is perceiued to be spred throughout the body then is it aduised as very requisite to open a veine especially if the body be plethoricke or full of humours whether it be in the biting of a dogge or any other venemous beast Or for a more generall doctrine this may passe that in bodies cacochymicke that is where the humours be corrupted or badly tempered purging should rather be vsed then letting of blood But in plethoricke or full bodies letting of blood rather then purging And where is both corruption of humours and plenitude there should both be vsed the conditions still being obserued that haue been before aduised Baptista Codronchus seing the diuersitie of opinions concerning this point and the reasons pro contra Lib. 2. de Hydroph Cap. 6. as a man not well knowing whether part to approue concludeth with these words Nos igitur in hoc ancipâ—ti casu c. That is to say We therefore in this doubtfull case hauing a respect to both would perswade that there should be euacuation by blood though not by cutting a vaine but rather by ventozes set to the lower parts by which may be drawne out more or lesse blood as we list according to the ability of the body and so may both the plenitude be abated and the venome be diuerted and drawne from the vpper downe to the lower extreame parts But now returning to purging The tenderer bodies may be purged with purgations made of sena epithymum polypodium blacke hellâ—bor and such like But the stronger with pils made of hellebor elaterium veratrum album and the most vchement medicines as antimonium and such like Petrus Salius a man of great experience in these doggishmaladies preferreth the vse of Elleborus albus prepared in such sort as he setteth downe before any purgers whatsoeuer in these affects Lib. de affect par ium cap. 19. except in weaklings fearefull extenuate bodies streight brested or trobled with a cough or other affects of the brest His manner of preparing and vsing it he hath set downe at large and therefore for breuities sake I passe it ouer referring the Reader to the place in the Margent cited This and other strong purges before named beside their forcible expelling of the poison haue also a secret qualitie like either to the offending humours or the doggish poison by which they deliuer the body thereof This following is a very good purge in this case Rost a great onion in the embers hauing first made a hole in the top of it and filled it with good treacle then stampe it and straine out the iuyce with water of pimpinella or carduus beneâ—ictus and mixe therewith a sufficient quantity of extractum ellebâ—ri and a little of the confection of Hamech and so giue it for a purgation Elaterium may be giuen to the quantitie of their graines in both or some proper decoction Or the seeds of Cataputia Some to purge also by vrine make a medicine of Cantharides mixt with equall quantitie of hulled lentils and giue thereof halfe a scruple at once many dayes together This is esteemed profitable by reason that the poyson hereby is led to the bladder and expelled with bloody vrine But Rhasis and Ioh. Damascenus two famous Physitians prepare cantharides as followeth Seperate from them their wings heads and feet and infuse them a night and a day in sower butter milke then drie them and mixe them with the flower of lentils and wine and so make them vp in trochises or little round cakes of a scruple-weight apeece Of these little cakes they gaue euery day one in some conuenient liquor many daies together And if it chanced by the vse of these that the sicke did pisse blood they gaue him new milke to drink which did amend the acrimonie or sharpnes of the vrine remedie the bleeding and so did they preuent the feare of water Yet some of good iudgement and practise bee very iealous and doubtfull in giuing cantharides into the body though neuer so skilfully prepared In the beginning of the disease cantharides are very profitable to lay to the bitten part But into the body ought none of these vchemeÌ„t purges by stoole vrine be giuen in the beginning while the poysonous matter resteth in the bitten part only or neere it Nether is phebotomie then to be admitted as hath beene noted before least the hurtfull pollution bee drawen thereby from the outward to the inward parts and therefore better to be vsed with the latest than with the soonest If in any diease Extrema extremis according to the rule of Hippocrates ought to be put in practise then surely in this as most both of the ancient and moderne Physitians haue counselled For after the poyson heereof is once dispersed through the body then will it not as they say be vanquished without the helpe of extreame and very violent remedies All which ought to be vsed
