Let him be alwayes merry never sad Of Head-ach caus'd by the foul Stomack Sharp humors in the stomack oft abound And chiefly in its mouth from whence are found Foul vapours to ascend the sick would fain â—omit he feels a sharp and gnawing pain You must now things to the head apply To purge the stomack is the Remedy Of Head-ach by Drunkenness Hot wines strong drinks with vapours fill the brain If that the brain be hot the more 's the pain A vomit's very good then sleep and rest Amongst all medicines this is counted best Of the Windiness of the Stomack Phlegmatick humors we by reason find Oft in the stomack do ingender wind And sometimes windiness is caus'd by meat Dissolv'd to vapours through the want of heat They that are thus diseas'd do stretch and swell The pain doth in the back and belly dwell If that the Patient 's bound a purge is good Whâ—ch may expell the sleâ—m and clense the blood â—oâ—le grains in good strong water for I think Againâ—t all wiâ—d this is an excellent drink The Yellow Jaundes This sickness stops the gaul or spleen with great Combustion in the liver and strong heat A yellow colour of the skin and eyes With grief doth in the spleen and liver rise The juyce of hore-hound will afford relief With thy own urine to expell this grief Turmerick and Honey Saffron well compound With Treacle to make thy body sound Or else the dung of Goats to powder beat And drink 't three dayes to render health compleat The Dropsie The Dropsie is a water bred with in Betwixt the bowels and the tender skin Which clasps about them which disease indeed From coldness of the liver doth proceed The belly swells the colour is not good The Patient is compel'd to loath his fâ—od With juyce of Plantain fill some pot and bind About the pot a linnen cloth then find And lay some ashes on the cloth the fire It must abide until the halâ— expire Drink some each moâ—n This hath been known and seâ—n To cure the wâ—â—rish Dropsie and the Spleen Of the Stone in the reins of the Bladder Some gross and naughty humors putrifie Within the bladder which great heat doth dry Small gravel in the urine you may find Pains in the bladder to afflict the mind Anoint the yard with Fox-blood and the stone Will soon dissolve this is a practice â—nown Nine Ivy berries in warm wine receive This drink the Patient never did deceive Beat Snails to â—owder or few egg-shells dry'd Powder'd and drunk have bin thought good and try'd Of Garlick seeth some seven heads or more To break the stone and perfect health restore The Strangury Ulcers within the Bladder this begets Or some Apostume which the urine frets The urine at the yard will drop and wish You may with strong desire but cannot piss The Radish root in white wine seeth or steep If thou thy body from this grief wilt keep Some Filbirts stampt and drunk the grievous pains Will cure which in the bladder be or râ—ins The Gout Surfet and Drunkenness breeds this foul disease And use of women doth the same increase Long standing brings it too and boystrous wayes Of too much exercise and youthful playes This doth great pains to joynts and swellings bring In time of harvest chiefly and the Spring Some Plantain leaves being plaistred with fresh gre 〈…〉 Bring down the swollen gout and grief appease Figs honey bread and also mustard-seed With vinegar compounded help your need Pitch Salt Armoniack mingle well and stamp 'T is excellent good to cure a grievous cramp The Ague called Ephymera which endureth one day Unnatural heat the vital parts doth fret Which anger watching drunkenness may beget A feverish heat it to the body sends Which in a fainty sweat or vnpour ends For Agues take a vomit or a quart Of Sack will cure thee and rejoice the heart To cure the heat juyce of Cucumber's best With oyle of Roses smear the pulse and breast A continual Ague Abundance the foul body doth contain Of humors putrifi'd in every vein The Patient suffers constant heat and pains And till the fever ends no respit gains Some Colewort-leaves with oil of Roses take And for the stomack this a plaister make Drink in warm water the herb Pimpernel This cures a Fever as Physicians tell The Carbunc â—e Gross and hot blood residing in some place An Ulcer or a painful Bile doth cause Rue Nuts and Honey stamp this plaister will Cure all Carbuncles and Apostumes kill A Quartain Fever This Melancholy breeds which putrified To divers parts of sickly men doth slide The weary Patient two good days enjoys But on the third a sore fit him annoys Take Rue-leaves Pepper Honey mingle these The bigness of a Chess-nut will give ease Two hours besore the fit that compound give To cure the fever nature to relieve Use Almond-milk in fevers and all say 'T is good to use sweet clarified whay The Lethargy This sickness like some drowsie heavy pain Fills with corrupted flegm and cold the brain Such often sleep all wit and judgment 's gone And they forget what they have spoke or done Use Vinegar and Oil Red Mint and Rew Unto the nose the spirits to renâ—w Or you may burn the skin of any Hare The ashes drunk with Calament is rare The Phrensie Choler the Phrensie and much blood maintains Heating the head and filling up the brains A constant Fever frantick patients have They love to watch and seldom rest do crave When they awake they use to rore and cry But can afford not any reason why If Blood 's the cause to laugh they will delight If Choler be the cause they braul and fight With Plantan-juyce the tâ—mples first anoint A Cap of Terâ—bentine wax I then appoint With womans milk which wrapt about the head Will give the Patiâ—nt rest within his bed Let blood in that same vâ—in which as I guess The middle of the forehead doth possess The Turn or Dazeling in the head Some vap'rous Exhalations do arise From the foul stomack and the brains surprise The Patient thinketh that all things go round And oftentimes he falleth to the ground The pith of Bread bak'd with Coriander seed Laid to the head is good to help thy need Take Opium Saffâ—on Roâ—es and all these With Vinegar mix which plaister bringeth ease Too much Watching Great store of choler dryness in the brain Doth watching cause and wonted sleep retain The seed of Mustard bruis'd laid to the head Hot cures she pains and makes a quiet bed Some Poppy-juyce and oil of Roses take These mixt will make him sleep that keeps awake The Falling-Sickness Gross slimy humors do possess the brain The lively spirits no free passage gain The Patient at the mouth will foam and fall As if he dy'd and lost his senses all Burn any dead man's skull the ashes take In drink this sickness shall you soon forsake If you desire to cure this evil
