it is to be feared that these Ulcers may foul the Skull if the matter be very filthy for it has been observed that the Skull has been so corrupted by these Ulcers that it has fallen off and the Meninges have appeared But when there is no danger to be feared especially when the Face is not deformed nor the Eyes hurt the Ulcers ought to be left to themselves yea we ought to endeavour that the other matter be expell d and if the Ulcers vanish â—nd the Child fall sick upon it we must give Fumitory Scabious Carduus-Benedictus Harts-horn or the like to drive the humour out again and cooling and astringent things which repel the matter must not be used But the Nurse in the mean while ought to observe a good Diet and to abstain from Salt and acid things and all things that generate ill juries as Onions Garlick Radish Pulse salted Meat and the like and if her body be foul the vitious humours must be purged off for otherwise the Child will be prejudiced and the Disease increased but if the ill humours are evacuated these Ulcers will soon go off wherefore these humours should be altered and prepared with Medicines made of Borrage Bugloss Fumitory Succory Hops the roots of Polypody sharp pointed Docks and afterwards they must be purged off with the leaves of Senna Epithymum Rhubarb Black Hellebore or with Diacatholicon tryphera Perâ—â—ca or the like and afterwards you must give such things as strengthen the Viscera and attemperate and expel the other humours As Take of the Conserves of Borrage Bugloss Violets Fumitory and Succory each 〈◊〉 Ounce of the candid roots of Succory and of the bark of Citron candied â—cah half an Ounce of the Spâ—cies Diarrhodon Abatis Diamargarit frigid Harts-horn prepared each one Scruple with a sufficient quantity of Syrup of Gilliflowers make an Electuary Or Take of Harts-horn prepared two Drams of Magistery of Goral one Dram of the Species Diamargarit Frigid half a Dram make a Powder whereof give the Nurse daily half a Dram or a Dram. â—ome of these Medicines may be also given to the Children as Syrup of Borrage Fumitory Polypody and Hops and the Childs Body may be evacuated respect being had to its age with Glisters with Manna or laxative raisins or the like But if the Disease continue long and here is danger that great putrifaction â—ill arise under the Scab and so foul he Skull we must use Topicks and first he head must be washed with a Deoction of Mallows and Barley or â—ith a Decoction the roots of sharp â—ointed Doke the leaves of a Mallows he greater Celandine Wormwood the Seeds of Fenugreek Vetches Lupines and Beans If you would have it abstersive you must boyl the Herbs in Wine or you may make a Lotion with roots of Marsh-mallows boyled in childs urine alone or mixed with Barley-water afterwards anoint the part with the Oyl of Roses and Bitter-Almonds mixed with a little Lytharge Or Take of the Ashes of Myrtles and Nut-shells each one Dram of Tutty one Dram and an half of old Butter washed in Rose-water one Ounce mingle them Or Take of the juice Beets of greater Celendine each one Ounce Hogs-lard two Ounces Sulphur one Dram mix them Or Take of Lytharge moistened with Oyl of Roses one Ounce Ceruss half a Dram Aloes and Frankencense each one Dram and an half Myrrh on Dram Oyls of Roses and Rue each a sufficient quantity mix them in a Morter The following is stronger Take of the powder of Red-roses of the roots of Briony Pidgeons-dung Verdegrease and Sulphur each two Drams Oyls of Junipir and Wall-flowers each a sufficient quantity mix them in a Morter and anoint the part with it every other day Or Take of Cerass and Lytharge each two Drams Balaustins and Agarick each one Dram with Oyl of Roses and a little Vinegar make an Oyntment Or having rubbed the affected part with soft Soap wash it off with a proper decoction If the Skull be hurt by the Ulcers the Scab must be first taken off and mollified with Mallows and Violets boyled in May Butter or in Lard Afterwards the Ulcer must be washed and dryed with a Lee made of the ashes of the Vine Beetch and Ash â—a little Butter being added to it when the Skull appears you must apply Honey of Roses mixed with spirit of Wine afterwards you mnst apply the powder of the roots of Birthwort and Peruvian Balsam or you may ad Turpentine washed in Tobacco-water CHAP. VII Of a Tinea IF the Ulcers continue long or are ill cured they turu to a Tinea viz. crusty and fetid Ulcers of the Head corroding the skin It is properly reckoned amongst the dieases of Children tho the adult have it too for tho grown people are sometimes afflicted with this disease yet it has its beginning in their Infancy it is called Tinea from the Moths that spoil Cloaths because these Ulcers corrode the skin as Moths do Cloaths It differs from Scabs and the Ulcers treated of in the foregoing Chapter by being dry and crusty whereas they are moist and have always an humour flowing from them and they sometimes possess other parts of the body as well as the Head but this only the Head The cause of it is a Salt and acid humour degenerating to melancholly taking its rise from the Mothers blood wherewith the Child was nourished or from the ill milk of the Nurse or Mother and by progress of time and the long continuance of the disease and neglignce for it most commonly befalls poor peoples Children it turns to this disease Moreover it is easily imparted to Infants when the cap of that which has it is put upon another infant This disease is not always the same for sometimes it is scaly sometimes viscous This disease plainly appears to sight and is commonly known for some crusty and dry Ulcers are seen upon the Head sometimes they are green sometimes yellow and sometimes of an ash-colour scarce any thing flows out of them and that which does is very fetid It is very difficult to cure that which is new and of a yellow colour and a little moist is easiest cured But that which is old â—uite dry of an ash-colour or black is very hard to cure If it seiz a Child in its infancy it can scarce be cured till the Child come to an age fit to bear the Medicines the Disease requires and the severity of the Cure and when it is cured Hair seldom grows upon the place especially if the skin be hard and testatious and does not look red when it is rubbed but if the skin be soft and looks red upon rubbing there is hopes hair may ow again tho not without difficulty The indications are the same with oâ—er Ulcers namely magnitude lessen requires Medicines that inâ—arn the lution of the continuity requires things â—at conglutinate but we cannot satisfie hese indications unless the corroding humour be taken off and this must be done

XXV Of Costiveness in Children IT often happens that Children are bound in their Bodies or go to Stool seldomer than they ought which happens by reason of a cold and dry Intemperies of the Bowels or because the Humours are viscid and flegmatick but this chiefly happens by a fault in the milk when the Mother and Nurses use a gross viscid and astringent Diet and drink too sparingly A hot Intemperies of the Liver Spleen or Reins may also occasion Costiveness or an obstruction of the Gall which should stimulate the Guts to excretion This Disease is manifest of it self but what is the cause of Costiveness or of going to stool seldom must be carefully considered If a natural dryness of the Guts is the cause the Belly is scarce ever orderly dischârged if gross and viscid Flegm is the cause the Excrements when they are evacuated are covered with it if any error in Diet of the Nurse or Mother be the cause it may be known by them If a hot and dry Intemperies of some neighbouring part be the cause it will be manifested by the signs of them if Choler which irritates the Guts to excretion does not flow to them the Excrecrements will not be tinctured but be white or of an Ash-colour and the colour of the Childs body will be yellow Those grown People whose Bellies are bound are sometimes very healthy Nature being accustomed to evacuate the liquid parts of the Excrements or to discuss them insensibly but it seldom happens that Children whose Bellies are bound are very healthy and it is best for Young People to have their Bellies open for when they are bound Vapours from the Excrements are cast upon the whole Body and gripes pains of the Head and other ill Symptoms are occasioned The cure of Costiveness in Children is to be performed two ways first by removing the Cause and then by loosning the Belly First we must endeavour that the cause of Costiveness be removed and if the temper of the Bowels be cold and dry Children must be frequently washed and when the Intemperies is cold you must use a Bath of hot Stomach-Herbs when it is dry you must use things that moisten as Mallows Marsh-mallows Pellitory of the Wall and Bears-breech If the Mother or Nurse have used meats which bind the Belly as Quinces Medlars Pears Beans or the like they must for the future abstain from all such things and instead of them they must use such things as molliâ—ie the Belly as Mallows Raisins Pruns and the like If the Infant be pretty big and eats as well as sucks it must abstain from all astringent things and use such things as loosen If viscid Flegm stick to the Guts and the Excrements are covered with it things that incide and cleanse must be used as Honey of Roses solutive or Syrup of Horehound or the like If any neighbouring part be hot and dry the Intemperies of it must be corrected with the Syrups of Violets or Succory or with a decoction of Barly or with an emulsion of the four greater cold Seeds and the like If the Choler does not pass from the Gall-Bladder to the Guts the obstructed passages must be opened with a decoction of the roots of Grass of Fennel Asparagus Maiden-hair and the like But we must not always wait till the Causes are taken away for the Belly must be seasonably loosned to prevent ill symptoms which may be done by external and internal Medicines Amongst Externals are Suppositories which may be made of Honey and Salt or with crude Honey put into a Rag or with Lard Soap or the root of Mallows besmeared with Butter Or Take Mouse-dung half a dram with Goats-suet make a Suppository But Nature must not be accustomed to the too frequent use of Suppositories for if so she will not ease the Belly unless she be provoked by them it is therefore better to use Glisters and other external things which may also remove the cause of the Disease and correct the dryness of the Guts or carry off the viscid Flegm according as their is occasion As. Take of common Oyl three or four ounces of brown Sugar two or three drams the Yolk of one Egg of Salt three grains make a Glister Or Take of the Roots of Marsh-mallows half an ounce of Mallows and Pellitory of the Wall each half an handful of the Flowers of Camomile one pugil of the Seeds of Flax and Fenugreek each one dram boil them in Water In three five or six ounces of the strained liquor according to the age of the Child dissolve two or three drams or half an ounce of Cassia of common Oyl one ounce or one ounce and an half with the Yolk of one Egg â—ake a Glister Such things may be apâ—lied to the Navel as loosen the Belly â— Oyl of Sweet Almonds alone or with grain or two of Scammony or Colouintida or Butter or Hen-fat with ulls gall or with the Juice of Sowread Or Take of Aloes two drams of the Gall of Bull one dram of Scammony one â—ruple with a sufficient quantity of Butter â—ake an Oyntment fill a Walnut shell with â— and apply it to the Childs Navel And the whole Belly may be anointed with an emollient Oyntment As Take of fresh Butter and of Hens and â—ucks Grease each half an ounce of Oyls â—f Sweet-Almonds and of Flax each three â—rams of Calves Marrow of Oyntment â—f Marsh-Mallows each two drams with â— little Wax make an Oyntment Or Take of the Leaves of Mallows and Marsh-mallows each one handful of the â—eeds of Flax and Fenugreek each half an â—unce of Figs number six boil them in Water and pulp them through a Sive and add of Butter and of Hens-fat â—ach one ounce of Oyntment of Marsh-mallows half an ounce of Saffron one Scruple mix them make a Cataplasm to be applied to the Belly If you would have it loosen more forcibly you must add Aloes and other Purgers or you you may make a Cataplasm of fine Flower and Juice of Dwarf-Elder But you must take notice that these Cataplasms and other Purging medicines applied to the Belly must not touch the stomach To the Children that are pretty big you must
the time the Small-Pox used to last affirm they are struck in tho they have really finished their Course and they think that the symptoms which come upon their going off are occasioned by their being strucâ— in so soon for the Fever and difficulty of breathing are increased at that time and the Cough is more vexatious so that the Patient cannot sleep night nor day Children are chiefly subject to these ill symptoms which appear now at the going off of the Measles by reason of two hot a Regimen â—r hot Medicines that were used to â—orce them out and by this means â—hey are cast into a Peripneumonia which destroys more than the Small-Pox and yet the Measles are not at all dangenerous if they are skillfully managed Among the rest of the ill symptoms â— looseness often happens which either presently succeeds the Disease or continues many Weeks after it and all its symptoms are gone off not without great danger to the Patient and sometimes after a very hot Regimen the Measles are first lived and afterwards black â—ut this only happens to grown people and they are utterly lost when the blackness first appears unless they are presently relieved by bleeding and a more temperate Regimen As the Measles are much of the same nature with the Small-Pox so is the method of cure much the same hot Medicines and a hot Regimen are very dangerous how frequently soever they are â—sed by ignorant Nurses to drive the Disease from the Heart The Patient must be kept in his Bed only two or three days after the eruption that the blood may gently breath cut according to his own genius thro the Pores of the Skin the inflamed Particles which offend it he must have no more Cloaths nor Fire than he is wont to have wheâ— he is well I forbid all flesh and alloâ— Oat-meal and Early-broaths and the like and sometimes a roasted Apple hiâ— drink must be either Small-beer or Milk boyled with treble the quantity of Water I oftentimes mitigated the Cough which almost continually accompanies this Disease with a draught of some pectoral decoction or with a Linctâ—â— fitted for the purpose but above all the rest I took care to give Diacodium every night thro the whole course of the Disease For instance Take of the Pectoral Decoction one piâ— and an half of Syrup of Violets and Maiden-hair each one Ounce and aâ— half mingle them and make an Apozem take three or four Ounces three or four times a day Take of Oyl of Sweet-Almonds two Ounces of Syrup of Violets and Maiden-hair each one Ounce 〈…〉 a sufficient quantity 〈…〉 them and make a 〈◊〉 us let the Sick 〈◊〉 often of it especially when his Cough troubles hâ—m â—ke of Black-Cherry-water three Ounces of Diacodium one Oâ—nce mingle them for a Draught to be taken every night But if the Patient be an Infant the Dose of the Pectorals and of the Narcotick is to be lessened with respect to the Age. But if by means of two hot Cordials â—d too hot a Regimen the Patient be danger of his life after the Measles off which is very frequent by reaâ— of the violence of the Fever and fficulty of breathing and other accints that use to afflict those that â—e a Peripneumonia I have bled the â—allest Infants in the Arm and have â—en away that quantity of Blood which â—ir Age and strength indicated with veâ— great success and sometimes when the â—ease has been obstinate I have not fearâ— to repeat bleeding and truly it is not few Children that have been at the â—nt of Death by reason of this sympâ—n whom by God's blessing I have â—ed by bleeding nor have I found as â— any other certain way to vanquish This happens to them after the â—asles go off and is so very fatal that may well be counted the chief Minister of Death destroying even more thâ— the Small-Pox And the loosneâ— which as we said follows the Measles is also cured by bleeding for wherea it ows its rise to vapours of inflameâ— blood rushing in upon the Guts which is also common in a Plurisie Peripneumonia and other Diseases that are occasioned by an Inflamation whereby they arâ— stimulated to excretion it is bleediâ— alone that gives relief by causing a revulsion of these sharp humours and bâ— reducing the Blood to a due temper Nor is there any reason why any onâ— should wonder says Sydenham that bleed young Children whereas foâ— what I have hitherto observed says heâ— it may be as safely performed on them as on the adult And truly it is so necessary that we can neither cure the symptom above mentioned nor some other that happen to Children withouâ— it For instance by what means can wâ— deliver those that are breeding Teeâ— from Convulsions which seize them iâ— the ninth and tenth month with a swelling and pain of the Gums whereby thâ— Nerves are oppressed and inraged anâ— from whence also these Paroxysms arise but by bleeding which alone is much to 〈◊〉 preferred in this case before the most â—elebrated specificks whatever that are â—et known whereof some do hurt by â—heir adventitious heat and whilst they are â—hought to Cure the Disease by a certain â—ccult faculty they promote it by their â—anifest heat and kill the patient not â—o mention at present that wonderful â—elief which bleeding gives in the hoopâ—g Cough wherein it far surpasses all â—ectoral Medicines whatever CHAP. VI. Of Scabs and Vlcers from Milk OF all the particular diseases of the parts of the humane body that are proper to and familiar with Children if we begin with the Head and so proceed to all parts of the body these Scabs and Ulcers are first to be considered they come at the time when the Child sucks and perpetually emit a Sanies or purulent matter The Scabs are white but the Ulcers are of another colour The Scabs are also all over the body as well as in the Face whereas the Ulcers are chiefly in the Head But because the causes of them do not much differ and the method of cure is the same we will treat of them together in this Chapter they arise from excrementious humours which are serous and accid and they occasion itching These humours are collected partly in the Womb and they arise partly from a fault in the Mothers or Nurses milk and afterwards are cast out by nature upon the habit of the body It is commonly held that these Ulcers keep Children in health and not without reason for by this means nature expels the vitious humours from the inner parts of the body to the habit of it and if they vanish Children are subject to Fevers and other Diseases and Hippocrates says that if there be Ulcers in the Head about the Ears in the Face or in any other part of the body Children will be free from fits These Scabs generally go off of themselves in time but if they continue long â— Tinea is occasioned and the hairs fall off and
Small-Pox and Measles and they also sometimes come from Worms This disease is easily known by the standers by for the Children groan and shake in their sleep and cry out of a sudden and a hot and fetid vapour exhals from their mouth most commonly This disorder must not be contemned for it is often the forerunner of sits wherefore you must endeavour to remedy it in time by removing the vitious humours from the stomach that corrupt the meat In order to which the Nurse ought to be healthy and to eat moderately of meats of good juice and to abstain from all that yeild an ill nourishment that the milk which the Infant sucks may be good The Infant also ought to suck sparingly that the Stomach be not burthened nor must the Infant after sucking or feeding be presently laid asleep but must be kept up a while that the meat may descend to the bottom of the Stomach and be the easier concocted and that the corrupt meat may be removed from the Stomach or vomited up Oyl of Sweet-Almonds may be given to the Child or you may give a spoonful or two of Honey of Roses solutive to carry off the vitious humours by stool The cause of the disease being taken off the Stomach must be strengthened which may conveniently be done with magistery of Coral and consection of Hiacinth given in milk and you may anoint the Stomach with the Oyls of Wormwood Mint Mastick or Nutmegs And before sleep it is good to give the Child a Lozenge of Diamosch dissolved in Milk If this symptom proceed from a Fever you must take care of that if from Worms proper remedies must be used Some in this case use Amulets as Coral or the tooth of a Wolf hung about the neck CHAP. XII Of Watchings ALL the while the Child is in the Womb it is almost perpetually asleep and for some times after it is born if it be well it is always almost asleep for the brain is yet very moist and abounds with a great deal of humedity therefore when it watches much and cannot be brought to rest either by rocking singing or giving the breast nor by any other way it is to be reckoned of a sickly constitution This Disease is very dangerous and especially to children because it is so contrary to the nature of them and occasions Convulsions Fevers and Catarrhs and other Diseases If those acid Vapours that disturb sleep and occasion watchings proceed from the corruption and fault of the milk care must be taken for a Remedy If a Fever or some pain be the cause it must be removed and the child must be cleansed but Medicines that provoke sleep are not so safely used in Children as in grown-persons Some Nurses indeed are wont to give Infants at bed time Syâ—up of Poppies or the like but this is very injurious to them but if there be occasion the Nurse ought rather to take things that cause sleep moderately as sweet Almonds Lettice the seeds of white Poppie and the like As to externals the feet may be washed with a Decoction of the tops of Dill of the flowers of Camomile and the heads of Poppies and it is very good to anoint the soles of the feet with the marrow of Stag's bones but strong Narcoticks must not be applyed to the head for the moist and weak brains of Infants will be thereby offended It is safest to use fresh oyl of Dill for anointing the Temples or you may anoint them with the oyl of Roses mixed with a little oyl of Nutmegs or you may apply a Cataplasm made of the seeds of white Poppies a little Saffron and Womans milk and the â—ostrils may be anointed with a little â—yl of Violets if the brain be dry a â—ag dipt in Violet or Lettice water and pressed out may be applyed to the head CHAP. XIII Of Childrens Convulsions CHildrens Convulsions are so frequent that they are almost the only species of Convulsions they are chiefly subject to them in the firstâ— months and at the time they breed their Teeth but they also happen at other times and proceed from other causes in such as are disposed to them Sometimes they do not come presently after the Birth but lie hid until the breeding of Teeth or not till a great while after and take their rise from other evident causes as from an unhealthy or big bellied Nurse from milk coagulated or corrupted in the Stomach from a Feverish disposition from Ulcers or Scabs in the head or other parts suddenly disappearing from changes of the air or from the conjunction or opposite aspects of the Sun and Moon We must endeavour to prevent these Convulsions in Children and Infants oâ— to cure them when they are come for if the former Children of the same Parents have been subject to Convulsive Fits this Disease ought to be prevented by the early use of Remedies in such as are born after To this end it is customary to give to new-born Babes as soon as they begin to breath some Medicine proper for Convulsions as some drops of pure honey a Spoonful of Canary Wine sweetned with Sugar oyl of sweeâ— Almonds fresh drawn a drop of oyl of Ambre or half a Spoonful of Epileptick water besides these things used at first which certainly do good some other Remedies ought to be administred For instance give a Spoonful twice a day of the following Liquor Take of the waters of Black Cherries and Rue each one ounce and an half of Langiuses Epileptick water one ounce of Syrup of Coral six drams of prepared Pearl fifteen grains mingle them in the Viâ—l The third or fourth day after the Birth make an Issue in the neck and if the countenance be florid evacuate by bleeding an ounce and an half or two ounces of blood from the ingular Vein But take care that too much blood do not flow out in sleep Rub gently the Temples with the following Linement Take of oyl of Nutmegs by expression two drams of balsam of Copiaba three drams of Ambar one scruple mix them Hang round the neck the roots and seeds of male Peony and Elks-hoof sewed up in a rag Moreover Medicines proper for Convulsions must be given daily to the Nurse Let her take morning and evening a draught of Whey wherein the roots of male Peony or the seeds of sweet Fennel have been boyled Take of the Conserves of the flowers of Bettony Male Peony and Rosemary flowers each two ounces of the roots and flowers of Male Peony each two drams of red Coral prepared and white Ambar each one dram of the the roots of Angelica and Zedoary prepared each half a dram with a suffient quantity of Syrup of Peony Make an electuary let the Nurse take the quantity of a Nutmeg of it morning and evening and be very orderly in her diet But if the Infant be actually seized with Convulsions you must apply a Blister to the neck or behind the ears and if the Infant be of a hot
little Oyl of Nntmegs by expression may be mixed with it Chap. XXXV Of Chilarens Wasting THough the wasting of Children may be reserred generally to the Diseases of Children yet I think it necessary to mention it here because Children wax extreamly Lean without any manifest cause whereas the adult seldom grow Lean but by reason of a Fever a Consumption or some other manifest Disease Perhaps it may happen by a fault in the Milk or for want of Milk and sometimes Children wast much with one Nurse but being remove to another thrive well Worms may be also the cause for they destroy the nourishment and so sufficient Blood cannot be generated for the nourishment of the Body and if Blood should be generated and transmitted thro' the Veins to the whole Body yet if there are Worms in the Back Arms Legs and almost over the whole Body and there are so sometimes the nourishment will be devoured by them These Worms are very small and are bred in the Skin and the Heads of them appear like black hairs upon Priction in a Bath they are generated by vitious Matter shut up in the Capillary Veins turned into Worms when transpiration is hindred If the wasting be occasioned by a fault in the Milk the Milk must be amended if Worms in the Bowels are the cause Medicines prescribed in the Chapter of Worms must be used If small Worms in the Back Arms and Legs are the cause the Children must be bathed and Honey must be mixed with the Bath and the Musculous parts must be rubbed with a Liniment made of crumbs of Bread and Honey FINIS BOOKS Printed for Richard Wellington at the Lute in St. Paul's Church-Yard 1.
