A95997	Speedy help for rich and poor. or, certain physicall discourses touching the vertue of whey, in the cure of the griping flux of the belly, and of the dysentery. Of cold water, in the cure of the gout, and green-wounds. Of wine-vineger, in the preservation from, and cure of the plague, and other pestilential diseases: as also in the prevention of the hydrophobia, or dread of water, caused by the biting of a mad dog. &c. Written in Latine by Hermannus Vander Heyden, a physician of Gaunt.	Heyden, Hermann van der, 1572-ca. 1650.	1653 (1653)	Wing V63; Thomason E1305_1; ESTC R30733	79,878	247

blood_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a enough_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v in_o my_o french_a treatise_n that_o the_o pain_n in_o the_o gout_n be_v cause_v not_o by_o any_o cold_a defluxion_n of_o humour_n from_o the_o head_n but_o by_o a_o hot_a humour_n which_o be_v either_o a_o acrimonious_a or_o a_o salt_n one_o proceed_v from_o the_o liver_n and_o gather_v together_o in_o some_o neighbour_a part_n till_o such_o time_n as_o that_o nature_n drive_v it_o forth_o by_o the_o great_a vein_n into_o the_o capillary_n as_o into_o certain_a small_a channel_n by_o nature_n design_v for_o the_o convey_n of_o humour_n whence_o it_o be_v convey_v to_o the_o joint_n together_o with_o the_o aliment_n provide_v for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o common_o first_fw-mi of_o all_o it_o seize_v upon_o the_o great_a toe_n and_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o disease_n increase_v it_o afterward_o seize_v upon_o other_o joint_n also_o for_o this_o cause_n therefore_o my_o counsel_n have_v be_v that_o a_o vein_n shall_v be_v open_v both_o in_o the_o great_a toe_n and_o also_o in_o other_o part_n that_o be_v near_a to_o it_o that_o so_o the_o next_o antecedent_n cause_n which_o lie_v in_o those_o vein_n and_o foment_v the_o concomitant_a cause_n lie_v near_o unto_o it_o may_v be_v take_v away_o which_o be_v remove_v the_o pain_n be_v either_o assuage_v or_o altogether_o cease_v for_o i_o can_v believe_v that_o the_o concomitant_a cause_n lie_v in_o the_o very_a joint_n where_o the_o bone_n be_v not_o wrap_v about_o with_o any_o periostium_fw-la which_o be_v of_o most_o exquisite_a sense_n for_o so_o all_o motion_n must_v needs_o be_v painful_a but_o instead_o of_o that_o be_v environ_v with_o a_o gristle_n and_o join_v together_o with_o ligament_n that_o be_v void_a of_o all_o sense_n so_o that_o the_o pain_n must_v therefore_o necessary_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o neighbour_a part_n which_o be_v most_o sensible_a in_o the_o produce_v whereof_o see_v that_o this_o antecedent_n cause_o be_v also_o to_o be_v suppose_v to_o cooperate_v i_o be_o clear_o of_o opinion_n that_o without_o any_o let_v of_o blood_n either_o by_o way_n of_o revulsion_n or_o derivation_n we_o ought_v to_o fall_v immediate_o to_o the_o open_n of_o a_o vein_n upon_o the_o part_n itself_o unless_o the_o body_n be_v very_o plethorical_a or_o the_o patient_n young_a or_o the_o part_n lie_v convenient_a for_o revulsion_n which_o have_v former_o be_v infest_a with_o the_o same_o distemper_n do_v require_v the_o same_o for_o in_o other_o case_n you_o must_v be_v careful_a how_o you_o let_v blood_n both_o because_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o people_n ought_v to_o be_v let_v blood_n once_o or_o twice_o a_o year_n by_o way_n of_o prevention_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o aforesaid_a great_a toe_n or_o what_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n have_v usual_o be_v most_o afflict_v with_o this_o disease_n as_o also_o because_o that_o when_o it_o have_v seize_v upon_o several_a joint_n at_o once_o the_o violence_n of_o it_o seem_v to_o require_v the_o open_n of_o a_o vein_n where_o neither_o the_o age_n of_o the_o person_n nor_o any_o other_o impediment_n be_v against_o the_o same_o and_o see_v it_o be_v confess_v and_o assent_v to_o by_o all_o physician_n that_o contrary_n be_v cure_v by_o contrary_n why_o may_v i_o not_o lift_v up_o my_o voice_n and_o make_v use_n of_o my_o pen_n in_o the_o just_a praise_n of_o this_o our_o cold_a water_n especial_o see_v i_o be_o able_a to_o produce_v experience_n on_o my_o side_n who_o be_v the_o best_a mistress_n in_o all_o science_n whatsoever_o and_o that_o back_v with_o reason_n two_o i_o shall_v not_o here_o speak_v of_o young_a man_n or_o of_o those_o of_o perfect_a age_n but_o i_o shall_v only_o here_o have_v to_o do_v with_o old_a man_n who_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o saltness_n of_o humour_n wherewith_o they_o common_o abound_v be_v very_o much_o subject_n to_o this_o terrible_a disease_n many_o of_o who_o when_o they_o either_o already_o feel_v or_o be_v in_o fear_n of_o these_o torment_a pain_n have_v by_o my_o counsel_n have_v recourse_n immediate_o to_o this_o drink_n of_o cold_a water_n which_o drink_v constant_o for_o many_o day_n week_n yea_o and_o month_n together_o it_o have_v succeed_v so_o well_o with_o they_o as_o that_o many_o of_o they_o who_o have_v be_v very_o far_o strike_v in_o year_n have_v find_v very_o great_a ease_n hereby_o and_o that_o too_o without_o any_o offence_n to_o the_o stomach_n or_o hindrance_n of_o digestion_n and_o have_v continue_v thus_o now_o for_o some_o year_n space_n together_o only_o drink_v a_o draught_n of_o it_o off_o every_o morning_n which_o course_n they_o also_o resolve_v to_o continue_v while_o they_o live_v and_o some_o that_o have_v use_v to_o drink_v wine_n constant_o do_v the_o same_o drink_v water_n at_o their_o meal_n but_o moderate_o and_o although_o that_o in_o a_o inveterate_a gout_n or_o where_o the_o party_n be_v very_o old_a or_o where_o there_o be_v other_o either_o manifest_a or_o occult_a cause_n hinder_v it_o i_o have_v say_v that_o the_o use_n of_o it_o will_v do_v very_o little_a or_o no_o good_a at_o all_o yet_o in_o very_a many_o of_o this_o kind_n of_o patient_n where_o i_o have_v judge_v the_o use_n of_o it_o to_o be_v convenient_a i_o do_v here_o testify_v to_o the_o world_n that_o i_o have_v have_v very_o good_a success_n and_o as_o for_o all_o other_o medicine_n whether_o they_o be_v those_o they_o call_v anodyna_fw-la that_o be_v mitigative_n of_o pain_n or_o those_o they_o call_v discussive_n that_o be_v such_o as_o dispel_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o disease_n in_o the_o gout_n as_o i_o have_v make_v little_a mention_n of_o they_o in_o my_o french_a treatise_n so_o in_o this_o where_o i_o commend_v so_o much_o the_o use_n of_o cold_a water_n and_o let_v of_o blood_n do_v i_o make_v as_o little_a because_o as_o the_o aforesaid_a mitigative_n medicine_n by_o too_o much_o relax_v of_o the_o part_n affect_v do_v open_a a_o easy_a passage_n for_o the_o return_n of_o the_o sharp_a humour_n back_o again_o upon_o they_o so_o the_o discussive_a by_o overdrying_a the_o part_n dispose_v they_o towards_o the_o knot_a gout_n yet_o those_o that_o either_o can_v or_o will_v not_o patient_o endure_v the_o torment_a pain_n of_o the_o gout_n and_o yet_o abhor_v to_o drink_v cold_a water_n or_o to_o be_v let_v blood_n upon_o the_o part_n affect_v they_o may_v make_v use_n of_o the_o common_a poultess_n make_v of_o white_a bread_n which_o they_o must_v make_v of_o crumb_n of_o the_o same_o or_o rather_o of_o the_o powder_n of_o the_o root_n of_o althaea_n boil_a in_o new_a milk_n to_o a_o consistence_n and_o pound_v together_o with_o oil_n of_o lily_n or_o fresh_a butter_n mix_v with_o a_o small_a quantity_n of_o saffron_n there_o be_v some_o that_o choose_v rather_o to_o make_v use_n of_o a_o ointment_n make_v of_o raw_a

into_o a_o bath_n make_v of_o castille_n soap_n make_v as_o hot_a as_o they_o can_v endure_v it_o and_o when_o it_o begin_v to_o be_v cold_a they_o must_v take_v they_o out_o there_o be_v some_o

violent_a and_o the_o hard_a to_o be_v remove_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o who_o ever_o shall_v but_o grant_v we_o that_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o gout_n proceed_v from_o the_o self_n same_o acrimony_n or_o saltness_n of_o humour_n if_o not_o from_o a_o great_a it_o need_v not_o seem_v so_o strange_a a_o matter_n to_o he_o if_o while_o it_o be_v yet_o but_o new_o begin_v by_o the_o take_n of_o gold_n water_n according_a to_o my_o prescription_n either_o well-water_n or_o fountain-water_n take_v it_o a_o hour_n or_o two_o before_o supper_n because_o this_o disease_n use_v common_o to_o

same_o to_o it_o for_o that_o this_o will_v do_v the_o business_n be_v evident_a enough_o by_o the_o several_a cure_n that_o have_v be_v wrought_v in_o wound_n that_o have_v be_v make_v upon_o the_o hand_n and_o finger_n wherein_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o nerve_n either_o by_o the_o bite_n of_o dog_n or_o by_o hurt_n from_o some_o sharp_a instrument_n all_o which_o by_o this_o advice_n of_o i_o i_o mean_v only_o by_o this_o long-continued_n bathe_v in_o cold_a water_n and_o often_o repeat_v the_o same_o have_v within_o three_o or_o four_o day_n space_n be_v perfect_o cure_v and_o that_o without_o the_o appearance_n of_o any_o purulent_a matter_n at_o all_o come_n from_o the_o wound_n as_o i_o can_v give_v a_o particular_a instance_n in_o one_o very_o large_a and_o deep_a wound_n that_o be_v make_v by_o a_o hatchet_n where_o a_o part_n of_o the_o back_n of_o the_o hand_n and_o the_o forefinger_n be_v cut_v to_o the_o very_a bone_n which_o that_o it_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v without_o the_o hurt_v of_o some_o nerve_n nor_o indeed_o without_o the_o cut_n of_o they_o off_o in_o two_o rather_o whereby_o i_o confess_v the_o wound_n have_v much_o less_o danger_n in_o it_o then_o if_o a_o nerve_n have_v be_v but_o prick_v only_o or_o but_o half_o cut_v off_o appear_v plain_o by_o this_o because_o that_o when_o the_o cut_a on_o the_o finger_n be_v quite_o close_v up_o and_o perfect_o heal_v the_o party_n can_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n lift_v it_o up_o nor_o indeed_o ever_o will_v be_v able_a to_o do_v so_o and_o although_o that_o in_o these_o and_o the_o like_a wound_n there_o use_v to_o be_v some_o pain_n in_o the_o part_n the_o next_o day_n &_o the_o hand_n will_v begin_v to_o swell_v yet_o by_o reiterate_v the_o say_v bathe_v in_o cold_a water_n both_o the_o pain_n and_o the_o swell_a will_v immediate_o vanish_v and_o if_o it_o be_v but_o quiet_o keep_v up_o in_o a_o scarff_n fasten_v about_o the_o neck_n the_o party_n shall_v never_o hear_v of_o they_o more_o yet_o nevertheless_o in_o a_o case_n so_o dangerous_a as_o be_v the_o prick_a of_o a_o nerve_n which_o after_o long_o and_o most_o torment_a pain_n together_o with_o the_o aforenamed_a accident_n have_v bring_v so_o many_o thousand_o to_o their_o grave_n i_o shall_v willing_o refer_v the_o practice_n of_o this_o bathe_n in_o cold_a water_n though_o it_o promise_v abundant_o a_o

which_o have_v now_o be_v long_o enough_o confirm_v by_o experience_n that_o our_o cold_a water_n not_o only_o may_v but_o also_o necessary_o aught_o to_o be_v apply_v in_o the_o aforesaid_a wound_n

whereof_o see_v i_o have_v by_o most_o frequent_a and_o curious_a observation_n be_v most_o certain_o assure_v i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o persuade_v many_o surgeon_n and_o indeed_o some_o of_o the_o

or_o rather_o by_o the_o bathe_a of_o the_o same_o in_o the_o say_v cold_a water_n may_v be_v preserve_v from_o that_o they_o call_v hydrophobia_n or_o the_o dread_a of_o water_n and_o they_o

to_o be_v give_v to_o cornelius_n celsus_n who_o write_v that_o the_o only_a remedy_n in_o this_o case_n be_v to_o throw_v the_o party_n that_o be_v trouble_v with_o this_o hydrophobia_n unaware_o

by_o this_o definition_n which_o disease_n the_o holy_a scripture_n testify_v be_v often_o send_v among_o we_o for_o the_o expiation_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n as_o diverse_a author_n also_o
