amisse With heart I craue reade viewe and see If better you haue impart it with me Nowe slaunderer say thy worst with malice and defame In God I onely trust all glory to his name A TREATISE OF THE FRENCH POCKS WRITTEN by Iohn Almenar a Spanish Phisition Chap. 1. Of the beginning and definition of this disease IT is concluded by certaine wise men that this disease which amongst the Italians is called Gallicus that is to say the French disease should now bée named Patursa which is by interpretation a disease filthie and Saturnall It is a filthie disease because it maketh women to bee estéemed vnchast and irreligious It is Saturnall because it tooke the beginning from Saturne when he entred into Aries hauing the rest of the heauenly aspects helping thereunto And albeit that influence haue ceassed it is not necessarie that the disease should ceasse because many infected bodies remayned whereby others haue bene infected Hereof it may be concluded that this disease shall continue many yeeres and therefore let men take heede that by other mens example it may bee sayd of them Happie is he whom others daunger make warie The disposition which proceeded of the celestiall influence making impression into the bodies did burne the humours in respect of Aries which signe is hot and drie and after this burning cold and drie humours were engendred on Saturnes part which signe is by nature colde and drie These colde and drie or melancholike humours caried to diuers places bring diuers paines and in the skinne bring forth diuers kinds of pustles or wheales It may be thus defined The French Pockes or Patursa is an vniuersall or popular ill disposition in the parts of the bodie consisting principally in the liuer and veynes and their humors whereof ensue these accidents to wit paynes and wheales in all the bodie The efficient cause is touched when it is called vniuersall or popular that is proceeding from the influence of the heauens the formall when it is called an euill disposition the materiall when it is sayd to be in the parts Also the difference is touched when it is sayd that paynes doe ensue it c. Concerning the ende the bodily Phisition intermedleth not but the spirituall Phisitions affirme them to bee sent for the punishment of sinne Wherefore they which would bee deliuered and escape this let them take heede of sinne and applye their mindes to God for only God cureth infirmities as Mesues sayth in his treatise de Appropriatis Of this definition doe followe many and profitable consequences First that this disease is one and not many as some haue insufficiently affirmed because there could not be giuen one definition of it neither had it alwaies one only efficient cause neither would one kinde of cure agree neither had it one name which is absurd as partly hath appeared alreadie and shall more plainly be shewed hereafter The second consequence is that they are deceiued which thinke they haue found the head or fountaines of this disease to bee the paine in the ioynts and pustles in the face because the former definition agreeth not vnto them Moreouer all the paynes are not in the ioynts neither are all the wheales like red pustles in the face Therefore neither this disease nor the cure of it can be referred vnto them as it shall be hereafter shewed The third consequence that they which cure onely wheales or onely looke to the paynes doe cure imperfectly For who can cure perfectly the h●ada●h or the drinesse of the tongue or thirst which come from a Feauer vnlesse he first ●●●e the Feauer For the accident followeth the disease as the shadow doth the bodie Gal. lib. 3. de accident And therefore the paynes cannot bee cured as the pustles except the disease be first cured because these are either accidents or conioyned sicknesses which follow the principall and doe presuppose it must be first cured as Auicen testifieth tract 1. sen 3. and in many places The fourth consequent if any doe ioyne the cure of the Empiricks with those which thinke they cure orderly as the annoynting of the Empiricks and the purging of the Phisitions yet the cure is insufficient because by those medicines the il complexion which is fixed in the parts cannot be remoued And this was the cause that many haue thought themselues cured when they were not And if any haue bene cared it was by reason that the humors were throughly purged by solutiue medicines and vnctions which auoyded nature was stronger and superiour to the disease and that euill complexion and expelled it This had not so fallen out except the nature had bin strong and the impression little but where the strength was weake and the impression strong this disease could not be expelled This difference in the strength of nature and the impression hath bene the cause that some haue bene cured without medicines some with medicines others could not by any meanes be cured Now wee will shewe that way which both reason and experience hath taught to heale all not onely by remouing with medicines the humor which procureth actuall payne and pustles and hath abilitie prepared to the same but also that euill complexion which infecteth the humors they being first purged as order requireth wherin the treasure of this cure consisteth I could inferre many other consequences but because it is tedious to vse many words in things not auaileable to the cure as Galen sayth 1. de regim acut This shal be sufficient It remayneth to determine of the causes Of the causes of the french Pockes Chap. 2. THere is a twofold kinde of causes because some are first some corporall and those of two sorts partly antecedent partly conioyned That which is first or originall in this disease is twofold whereof the first is the onely influence or corruption of the aire from whence we must charitably thinke that it infected those which were religious The second is conuersation as by kissing and sucking as appeareth in children or by carnall copulation as it hath happened to many very often but by other meanes and chiefly by the influence or corruption of the aire very seldome It may be also caused by other meanes of conuersatiō which I leaue to thy consideration It is sufficient to knowe by experience that this disease is contagious and by probabilitie of reason wherin it is like to other contagious diseases it may be so accōpted Hereupon Auicen saith in the 2. of his 1. concluding his treatise of the dispositions of sicknesses Some there are which passe from one to another as the Leprosye Seabs Pocks pestilent Feuers rotten apostemes Now of the autecedent causes there are foure kindes as there are foure humors which may be the matter of this disease through their ill disposition whereby they are apt to receiue the impression heereof to wit blood choler fleame melancholy The conioyned cause is double one is the cause of the disease and it is the humor which

bone of the thigh called Osfemoris by a fall out of a gallerie in the Beare garden at that time when the Beare garden did fall downe and did kill and hurt many I Haue thought it good afore I enter into the briefe note or obseruation of this cure partly to signifie vnto all young students in this arte that such great wounds in the head with fracture of the skull are holden generally of the best professors and practizers to be most perillous and daungerous The bone being compressed vpon the panicle Dura mater for which cause at the very beginning of this cure I did shaue or cut the haire away round about the wound then with my finger I made further probation into the wound and there I did manifestly feele a notable fracture or breach in the skull on the left side of his head vpon the bone called Os Petrosum which as is before said was depressed vpō the panicle Dura mater And for that the fracture of the skull was greater in length then the wound in the flesh for that cause without detracting of time I made incision and so followed the fracture vntill all the rift or crackt bone was wholy discouered When I did see and behold the full length of the fracture or breach in the skull and had raysed vp the flesh then for that I could not at that present time proceede any further in this busines because of the great fluxe of bloud and the rather for that he had lost a great quantitie of bloud before he was brought home to his lodging All which being considered I filled the wound with pleggets and runlets made of lint and very sine towe wet in the whites of Egges being mixed with Galen his powder Then after with good bolstering and roulling he remayned thus vntil the next day and then hauing also a present regard vnto the preseruation of the fracture of his thigh as hereafter I 〈…〉 lie to set dow●e the true manner and 〈◊〉 or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 this great fracture and wound in his head ●et amongst other things I thought 〈◊〉 good al●● to ●ore hert vnto you that the patients maister and other of his friends did signifie 〈◊〉 me that h● 〈…〉 of ●●●d account and for that cause they were ●e more 〈…〉 I would de●●e●e truely vnto them w●●● d●ung● I thought he was in that they might also signifi i●●●to other of his 〈◊〉 in the countrie Then I considered with my selfe I was then to speake before men of worship wisedome and learning vnto whom I was to deliuer m●●e 〈◊〉 And calling to 〈◊〉 remembraunce some part of the wise sayings of Guido Tagaultius and others whose good counsell herein is thankfully to be embraced and followed When then ar● say they called before a Magistrate or head Officer or any other graue and wise man and that thou are required ●o deliuer thine opinion sen ence and iudgement vppou the person wounded and to prognosticat● as much as arte requireth it behoueth thee diligently and effectually to marke the wound or wounds if there be many and shall shalt truely call the same wound or wounds by their expresse and proper names together with the place wounded Then after it behoneth thee to consider with thy selfe the cause or thy coniecture and the reason of thy sentence and iudgement by thee deliuered wisely and prudently least thou tayle in thy iudgement and so shewe s●y selfe to be either 〈…〉 rent or els deceiued c.

THe signes are hurt in the yard especially corroding heauinesse of the head and payne in the necke which by little and little are spread towards the shoulders and spade bones to the ioynts first in the armes then in the legges and sometime in the muscles and sinewes which are in those parts the payne increaseth in the night and decreaseth in the day The cause is that nature is then retyred home and stronger as also in regard of the moistnesse and coldnesse of the night the matter is increased In the day nature is drawne from the sense heereof and doth not so much moue the humors partly being weake partly occupied in other actions I will shew the signes of the causes respecting the payne and pustles as others also in the tree of signes heereafter set downe If the payne be sharpe and quickly arising and the pustles little of a citron colour vlcerated and the skinne rough they come of choller If the paine do slowly come forth the pustles broade whitish they are of fleame If they haue great itching and some heate they proceed of salt flegme If they be black and small not very paynefull they are of melancholy If they be red and not paynefull they are of blood You shall find these sigues intermedled if you view others for as corruption seldome happeneth in one onely humour sayth Galen 1. regim acut euen so you shall seldome finde the signes foretelling one onely humor Therefore you must gather all the signes in your minde and comparing them together attayne to that which is principall and according to that humor dispose your cure The Prognostications MElancholick persons are most fit for this disease in regard of their likenesse according to Aristotle 2. de generat Things which haue affinitie do easily change Auicenna sayth 21. There is an easier conuersion into proportionable things then into contraries They especially are apter which are melancholick by burnt choler then cholerick thirdly sanguine persons through the abundance of their humors Phlegmatick persons are least subiect Amongst these they which haue thinne bodies are apt but especially such as are full of ill humors and vse melancholick meates as pulse olde flesh and such like When this disease is new it is curable but when it is old it is hardly cured and the older the worse because that ill disposition taketh déeper roote Therefore they which haue this disease let thē séeke present remedie They which haue many pustles and little paynes are more easily cured then they which haue the contrarie They which haue nodes or knots are more hardly healed Yong persons if other things concurre are more easily cured then others wherevpon Galen sayth It is not possible that the aged should be healed rather then youth 2. prognost It remayneth to speake of the ture Of the cure of the French Pocks Chap. 4.
