is that the presence of the vapours doth suppose heat which stirs them up But to the Cure of this Disease the now prescribed Remedies are to be insisted on afterwards proceeding in the use of the following Let the beginning be with opening a vein unless it have been perform'd already and first strike the Basilica afterwards the Saphena in the intermediate time let there be constantly used Semicups or half Baths in which the Patient sitting let him take the Decoction of Scorzonera with the simple Syrup of Apples not omitting Pimpernel the third or fourth day after the Encathisme or sitting in the Bath this following Purgation is to be made out of hand ℞ The foresaid Decoction lb j. in which infuse Oriental Senna leaves ℥ j. in the straining dissolve clean Pulp of Cassia ʒ ix strain it again and make an Apozeme to be taken at three Doses without the Syrups adding to every Dose Syrup of Dodder ℥ j. and so make an Apozeme to be taken in the Bath After the celebrated use of the Bath let Bloud-Leaches be apply'd to the edge of the Fundiment And after that sit in a Chair with a hole thorow it a B●…son of hot water being placed underneath it that the Haemorrhoides may be excited by the vapours of it which if by Natures assistance you can cause to appear it will be a good Omen And afterwards persist in the use of altering Remedies adding to them Capper roots and Tamarisk wood these things being rightly perform'd send us back word how the Patient finds himself then The Patient was restored a little while after by using the Mineral Waters and Cha●…byate Wine Advice in the Epilepsia or Falling Sickness For a Noble Virgin Written in French by a Physician whose Name is not known ALthough the Disease of this Noble Virgin is called the Epilepse and is noted to be fixedly rooted and confirm'd as having eluded and baffled many Medicines yet I hope God the chief Physician of Chronical diseases giving his blessing in progress of time she will be freed from it and by changing her Age and Temperament which happens in Climacterick years to wit on the seventh year by the help of the natural heat grown more and more viget and lively she will overcome that pernicious Diath●…sis or indisposition chiefly when Nature at her appointed time shall have cleansed the body of this Maid of its impurities by the coming on of that Flux which is familiar to the Sex And this is the rather to be hoped for that those which have been by and present when the Fits invade her and have noted the signs going before do deny it to be idiopathical but rather assert it to be produced by Sympathy and consent of parts That is its Original is not to be derived from the evil Constitution of the Brain but wholly from the inferiour parts chiefly from the Bowels with whom the Brain consents by affinity from which gross vapours ascend upwards chiefly in the time of sleep which is stirr'd up from their proper Mine by the heat then going to the inward parts And this is manifest from the pain which is perceived in the upper part of the Belly before the assault of the Paroxysme or Fit and the turbulency and want of sleep going before it indicating the Bowels are filled or stuffed with vitious humours to which perhaps may be joyned Werminous or Wormey matter a thing familiar to that Age which first pour sorth vapours which procure those terrifying wants of sleep and afterwards produce the Epileptical Insults by obstructing the passage of the Animal spirits and hence for a time intercepting their action untill those vapours be dissipated or are transmitted to the inferiour parts Now since according to my judgment the antecedent and first cause of this rebellious and troublesome disease is constituted and made by those depraved humours and that vitious Minera we may well hope they will be taken away and their effects removed in time by the Divine assistance and blessing And that the rather because perhaps all things have not been prescribed with a fit and due Method nor Chymical Medicines made use of by the help of which most pertinacious diseases are overcome which sort of Medicines are to be rightly used slighter ones having been first made use of Let the first scope or intention of Cure be to purge the Sink of the Body by the help of the Emetick and Purging Medicine noted A. taking of it presently in a double proportion of Breath walking after it the space of an hour to make it act the better also taking several spoonfuls after it of Broath somewhat more then warm till it begins to nauceate by which the Vomiting will be the casier If perchance the Epileptical Paroxysme shall happen whilst it works that ought to be no cause of fear since it is an effect of the commotion of the humours stirr'd up by it which ceasing the Fit also will cease Let the second intention be to prepare the Morbifick or offending humours with the Decoction prescribed for that purpose and noted B. of which a draught is to be taken six days successively in the morning two hours before Dinner The third thing that occurs is that the humours thus prepar'd be excluded by the pargation in the form of a Potion noted with the Letter C. let her drink that two hours before she take thin Broath Let her be allowed to Dine two hours after that but in the mean time let her keep the House all day Let the fourth scope be to remove thos●… vapours

As also Peacocks-Dung must be used which I look upon as a Specifick remedy amongst these Medicines If the Paroxysmes do continue or are protected there is to be given a spoonful or two of Rondeletius's Water of

Swallows also Rulandus his Aqua Benedicta and for the cutting of Phlegm which produceth the Snorting there may be given one spoonful of Oxym●…l of Squils or Sea-Onions with the like quantity of Oil of sweet Almonds Let there be joyn'd to these Medicines an exact rule of living eating of the most wholsome food let the Dinner be larger then Supper which ought to be a good while before going to Bed walking gently after it that the digestion may be the better let her abstain from all hot nourishments Saeces Spices from all sort of Pulse Parsni●…-roots Cabbage Garlick Onions Leek●… Ch●…s and other flatulent and vapourous Meats and suchas are of difficult digestion As to Drink abstain altogether from pure and good Wine for some time because it is a high incentive of these kind of Diseases in the place of which let her use the Decoction of the Roots of China Paeony and a little Calamus aromaticus and a few Leaves of Bettony Let her avoid the Crepusculum that is the d●…wn of the day and Twilight and all external injuries of the Air let her beware of violent exercise Passions of the Mind chiefly Fear and Grief which s●… she avoid as much as is possible The Series or course of the designed Medicines ℞ Crocus Metallorum truly prepar'd gr v.
