Aph. sect 6. 25. Hippocrates saith if an Erisipelas being outward be returned inwards it is evil but if on the contrary if being inward it be turned outwards it is a good sign If strong repercussive or repelling means be used in the beginning of the disease it is dangerous least the humour strike inward and so indanger the life of the party If this disease appear in the head it is more dangerous then in other parts because if the matter passe to the membranes of the brain it cause a Frenzie if to the muscles of the neck the Quinzie The cure First of all great care must be had to use such inward means as may expel the matter outward as give the child a scruple of London Treacle or five grains of the powder of Crabs clawes in Carduus water Then use outward means as take of Plantain water Rosewater Lettice and Housleek water of each one ounce Vinegar half an ounce mix them together and wet Linnen clouts therein and apply it a little warm so oft as it dryeth up let it be wet again in the same and applyed Or Take of Galens cooling oyntment one ounce and a half oyl of Roses two ounces of the oyntment called Populeon one ounce the juice of Plantain and Nightshade of each half an ounce the white of two or three eggs beaten mix them altogether and anoint with it See more in my book called Help for the Poor Pag 14. and 15.

strain ●t and drop of the strained liquor into the ears CHAP. 6. Of breeding and coming of teeth Among all diseases that children are subject to there is none more grievous or troublesome to them then the pain in breeding of their teeth For saith a Hip. Aph. sect 3. 25. Hippocrates The time of teeth breeding coming there hapneth itching of the gums feares Convulsions Fluxes of the belly especially when they bring forth their teeth and most principally to those children which are most fat and grosse and have their belly hard and bound Sometimes children are born into the world with teeth as experience witnesseth a Pliny Nat. Hist the 7. Book and 16. Chaper Pliny saith M. Curjus was so born who thereupon was surnamed Dentatus and C● Papyrius Carbo both of them very great men and right honourable Personages And Bald-Rousaeus de vitae hom primord cap de dent In the year 1564. Saith he saw a girle born with two teeth in her lower gums called cutters The time of breeding teeth The time of breeding teeth is about the seventh month and first those teeth are bred that are called Incisorii cutters or shearers in Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 because they shew themselves when we laugh then within a little space of time come forth the Canini or Dog-teeth from their length above the rest They are called Oculares or eye teeth not that they reach to the orbit of the eye for they mount not higher then the Nostrils but because sprigs of the nerves which move the eyes are carried to them Last of all are bred the Molares or Grinders because like Millers they grind the meat Of these the hindermost are called Genuini dentes sapientiae the teeth of wisdom because they shew not themselves until men come to the years of discretion to wit the 28. 30. yea even to old age it self In some they never appear And first of all at their comming forth Children have a great itching of their gums afterwards there following a pricking of their gums at the roots as it were with needles from whence followeth vehement pain watchfulnesse inflammation of the gums fears fluxes of the belly and convulsions And this doth chiefly happen when they breed their Dog teeth or Eye teeth as the vulgar call them from whence we have a Proverb that Parents cannot rejoyce in their children till their eye teeth be come Sometimes about the seventh year children shee l their teeth or their teeth fall out and new come in their roome but this is without any pain although children cannot speak of their pain in breeding their teeth yet it may be known by these signs Signs of teeth breeding First from the time of breeding viz. about the seventh month Secondly because they often put their fingers in their mouth thereby to ease the pain Thirdly because the Nipples of the mother or nurse are more wrinkled then before Fourthly in those places where the teeth are breeding the gums are white and swollen Lastly divers accidents happen as pain watchfulnesse fluxes of the belly fevers convulsions Now these fears which follow upon the teeth breeding the inflammations of the gums and watchfulnesse they all come from pain and then humours are stirred up and choller abounding which brings fluxes of the belly The Prognosticks The breeding of teeth in Children is very grievous and troublesome by reason those diseases and symptomes that accompany the same in so much that many die thereof when convulsions and fevers are joyned therewith Hip. de dentione fol. 59. The longer the teeth are a comming forth the greater is the danger Such children as have a loosnesse when they breed teeth are lesse subject to Convulsions then those that are bound If an acute or sharp Fever happen to children breeding their teeth they are seldom taken with the Convulsion because by the Fever the matter that might bring a convulsion is taken away Such as are in good health when they breed their teeth if they be very drowsie and sleepy there is danger least they fall into convulsions Such as breed teeth in winter are lesse troubled then those in sommer and if they be a little helped they will endure it the ea●…er Not all that breed teeth being taken with convulsions do die but many escape Their teeth come forth hardest or with most pain that have a little Cough withall and if they be troubled with pricking and shooting of the gums they become very lean While children breed their Dog teeth or Eye teeth they are worst and more troublesome because they bring more sharp and grievous pain to them The cure Let the gums be often rubbed with the finger wet with Hony or with Hony and Butter mixed together or with the brains of a Hare or the brains of a Hare mixed with Capons grease and Hony If you cannot get a Hares brains take Conies brains Rub the gums often with red Coral It is good also to wash the outside of the cheek with a decoction of Mallows and Camomil flowers or to anoint the same with the juyce of Mallows and Butter mixed together If there be an inflammation of the gum● and the pain be very extream use oyl of Roses with the juyce of Nightshade If these medicines prevail not as many times comes to passe then the best way is to cut the gums for this is very safe and were it more used fewer Children would die for I am confident the want hereof doth occasion the death of many a child Dyet The Nurse must observe a good Dyet and be very temperat therein and rather incline to cooling then heating She may use Barly water made with Avens Lettice and Endive abstaining from all salt and sharp meats especially about the time of breeding their teeth CHAP. 7. Of the inflammation of the mouth and throat with ulcers and sores thereof OFtentimes there arise certain ulcers and sores in the mouthes of children called Aphthae which do not onely possesse the sides of the mouth the tongue and gums but sometimes the very Almonds and Pallat of the mouth Among the diseases of children Hippocrates * Hip. Aph. 3. 26. maketh mention of the inflammations of the Almonds of the mouth The cause They proceed from vitious and corrupt milk for seeing the inward parts of the mouthes in children are soft and tender and have not been used to any meat in the mothers womb if the milk be not very sweet and pleasant but sharp and corrupt these ulcers sores and inflammations are soon bred The same doth happen if the milk be corrupt in the stomach for from thence arise hot and sharp vapours especially considering the tendernesse of those parts about the mouth and throat The Prognosticks These inflammations and sores being not of any long continuance especially in tender and young infants are easily cured because they arise from a light cause and matter But such as are of long continuance are more hardly cured and have putrifaction
