a remedy of great importance and it is very short ye shall take our Aqua realle and holde it in your mouth a good while and then spit it out againe and this ye shall doe for thrée dayes together euery day once then afterward it were necessary to wash your mouth in like maner with our Aqua Balsami for the space of a month and so the tooth-ache shall be taken away with ease for this is our secret and may be vsed in all times of the year Against a stinking breath THe breath may stinke through many causes as by vlcers in the mouth or corrupt and rotten téeth sometime it commeth of the stomacke and that is ill to be helpt and therefore if thou wilt help these thou must vse diuers remedies and first to help those that haue their mouthes vlcerated you shall giue them a quantity of our Pillole aquilone and then let them wash their mouthes with our Aqua realle and so the vlcers shall be helpt and the mouth shall not stinke but when the stench commeth of rotten téeth vse the aforesaid remedie or medicine that is written for the tooth-ache the which will make the téeth as white as snowe and will ake no more but when the stinke commeth from the stomacke it were necessary to purge the body with our sirop Solutiuo sixe or seuen dayes and then to take our Aromatico that being done take rectified Aqua vitae and the water of honey and oyle of Turpentine of each alike mixe them well together and euery morning drinks thereof halfe an ounce fasting for the space of a month or there abouts To help those that haue a great cough in the stomacke THe Cough doth come of diuers and sundry causes but let it come of what cause i● will it alwayes offendeth the stomacke and the head for euer when the stomacke is offended of nece●●i●i● the head is offended because it hath communication with the stomacke so that the stomacke is cause of the paynes in the head and therefore it is necessary to help the stomacke first unto that thou shalt doe with our Pillole aquilone the which is written in this booke folowing and if so be you cannot take Pilles take our Aromatico this being done if there be no feuer giue him euery morning 1. ounce of our electuary Magistrale per la tosse and euery night anoynt his stomacke with Magno licore and also his head nosthrils but if is happen that the aforesaid thinges help it not then take blood of the Liuer vaine and purge the body with our Sirop against the melancholike humor and so by Gods grace they shall remaine healed To help such as cannot holde their water THis procéedeth of two causes principally the first is of superfluous heat of the body through the which heat nature doth assuttiliate too much that humid part and continually doth send it downe into the bladder the second cause is that the pores are too much relaxed or opened by the which operation the vrine doth passe without retention and these are the two causes why the vrin cannot stay and this commeth commonly to yong children because they are very hotte of complexion and the order to help them is this Giue them our Pillole Aquilone thrée times the quantitie is from one dram to one and a halfe that being done ye shall make them a decoction of Hisop of the mountaine and put therin sugar and this they shall vse x. or xij dayes at the least for this mundifieth the place offended and disposeth it to solution Then after this is done ye shall giue him for x. dayes together halfe a dram of Masticke with a little Plantine water for this is hot and restringeth the pores and ingrosseth the vrine and so the Patient shall remaine whole of that infirmity by the vertue of the aforesaid thrée medicines and it is a very easie cure and soueraigne for that purpose But sometime there happeneth a flux of vrine somewhat like this and it is not of the aforesaid causes but of causes much different from them for this is in men and women of age and this I finde to be caused of the Poxe that causeth the flux and they void certaine threds which some call Gonorea and the remedie thereof is onely with great purging and sweating and then to annoint them fiue or six nights with our Vnguento magno and kéepe them warme in bed vntill ye haue ended to annoint him and then goe to the stowe and hée shall be helpt of that infirmitie To helpe those that cannot make water THe vrine is stayed through diuers and sundry causes and the principall are thrée of the which one is the stone that ingendreth in the bladder for alwayes it hangeth downe in the necke of the bladder stoppeth the Meati or pores that the vrine cannot passe the which grieueth the patient meruaileufly The other is caused of grauell or grose and viscous humours that cannot passe the pores and so cause that retention of vrine with great paine The third is caused of an obstruction or restriction of the pores or conduites where the vrine doth passe so kéep the vrine within with great paine so that these be the three chiefest causes of the retention of vrine The cure of the first cause which is the stone is to purge them well and then to vse our most souerain remedie that is written in this booke following the which is of great vertue to breake the stone as I haue proued many times but when this medicine is not able to break it then it is necessary to cut it forth and this is all concerning the first cause To helpe the second cause it were necessary to vse purgations that purge the reines well and then to giue them our Aromatico and then to annoint the reines six dayes euery day once with Vnguento magno and with this medicine thou shalt helpe him perfectly To cure the third cause it were necessary to purge with aperatius things and then to annoint his reines and vnder the members and belly with our Balme artificiall and giue him to drinke the pouder of Hogge-lice or Centum pedes that are found vnder stones and by the grace of God-he shall be perfectly whole To helpe those that haue great burning of their vrine THe burning of the vrine may come of diuers and sundry causes but I finde foure principall of which one is the stone in the bladder being great or small The second cause is a certaine heate the which corrupteth the place where it passeth and carrieth forth as it were certaine long thrids the which causeth that burning The third cause is a certaine viscousnesse the which holdeth to the bottome of the Vrinall and it will not well breake and this is called Gonorea The fourth cause is certaine fluxes of vrine caused of some kinde of the Poxe as ye may see by those that vse company with euill women and take harme for presently this

and vpon the wound I dressed it with Magno licore and Balsamo and made a gentle legature with a piece of stike and sent him home to his lodging and wil● him to come againe the next day about the same houre and those that were about me fell a laughing at my wordes and said that he would dye of that wound because I let him goe forth in the ayre to which I answered that he might safely goe forth and so the next day he came againe and I took off the ligament but not the cloth and thereon I put of our Quintessence Balme and in thrée daies after I touched it not then I tooke off the ligament againe and dressed it vpon the cloth and let it remaine vntill the 8. day and then I opened it and tooke away the cloth and found the wound so healed that you could scarfe perceiue any scarre and many said it was vnpossible to be healed for it would come to impostumation neuertheles it remayned perfectly whole for 5. or 6. monthes that he remayned in the Citie in which time I cured a great number in the same order that were wounded in the head to the great wonder of those that dwelt in Naples for they count all wounds in the head to be mortall because the ayre is so pestilentiall for as soone as it toucheth the scull it corrupteth the wound But vsing our order thou maist safely help them so that the wound be not mortall for by kéeping it close shut it is preserued A very strange thing that hapned in the aforesaid yeare THere was a certaine yong Mariner of the age of 26. yeares the which was called Francisco di Giouanni Raguseo of the I le of Mezo the which being in fight fell downe and the other that fought with him cut him ouer the side and backe a handfull long in so much that a péece of the Milt was cut ouerth wart then he was carryed to a Chyrurgion and he stitched him vp then the next day I was called and there I found the wound not well stitched the which I ripped vp againe and found the belly full of blood and when I saw that I caused diuers to make water and therewith I washed him and with taking forth of the blood there came a péece of the Milts that was cut the which I washed and gaue it to a Mariner that stood by and the Patrone of the ship tooke it from him and carryed it away then I stitched him vp againe and left a little hole or orifice beneath where the matter might come forth and dressed him with our Quintessence with Balsamo and Magno licore and in the space of 22. dayes he was whole perfectly The cure of a Fistolae in the lower parts IN the yeare 1552. in the month of March I was brought vnto a man of the age of 40. yeares of complection cholericke and melancholicke the which had a Fistolae in the lower parts the which was of this nature that it had alterated the Coddes the member and all the parts there about with xj holes infistolated at the which xj he made water with great burning and intollerable paine and which are accidents of a feuer in manner continuall the which Patient had béene taken in hand of diuers and none could doe him pleasure Than the first thing that I did I gaue him our Aromatico that being done I gaue him xij dayes together our Quint essencia solutiuo that being ●one I gaue him●● quantitie of our Electuario Angelica and then he vsed one of my secrets the which I will not write in this place that being done I caused him to spit with one of my confections written hereafter and so by these meanes he was perfectly whole Of many that I cured in Naples IN that time that I remained in the famous Cittie of Naples vntill the yeare 1555. in the month of Februarie and then I thought it good to goe to Rome whereat this time I cured a number of persons and haue helpt so many by the help of God the which if I should record them it would be sufficient to fill a great volume for there came such a number to my dore that the people wondred thereat and with 4. medicines compounded by me I helpt in manner all of euery disease and the medicines were these one Pill made with our Petra Philosophale Elebore negro Olio di sulpho Olio di melle mixed with marchpane and made in Pills The second remedie was soluble Pills made with Aloe hepatico Coloquintida Siena and oyle of Vitrioll made in paste with sugar and common honey The third remedie was an vnction made with Sage Rosemary Wormewood Rew Muit Nutmegs Cloues Ciuamon Masticke Franke●●●nse Terpentine and Waxe with common oyle The 4. remedie was our Quintessence and these 4. remedius I gaue vnto those people to helpe their griefes and I wi●●● them that tooke these medicines to eate well and of good meates and so always they praises these medicines the which was not without great reason because the Pills ●●r●t euacuate the stomacke of all impediments and leaueth nature ●ased the second Pills euacuate the body of the corruption The Vnction comforteth the stomacke and helpeth digestion and mitigateth the paine The Quintessence comforteth the stomacke causeth good disgestion purifieth the blood and comforteth the head so that by these aforesaid reasons ye may vnderstand that these foure remedies may helpe against all indispositions inwardly and for cause of these remedies those people honour me like a Prophet and alwayes haue had me in great reuerence as long as I remained among them A Cure of Vlcera putrida which was in the Arme.
