It is one sort of Acid which a vacuous and Alcalizate Antimony doth imbibe Another which Pearls in the Palpitation of the Heart Another that Crabs eyes in Wounds and Bruises Another that Goats blood in Pleurisies Another that Iron in Obstructions and Loofness Another that the Volatile Alcalies of Vegetables in Hecticks Another that the Bezoar-stone in Faintings of rich men I say of rich men for if the proportion of the Stone to the Acid be small in regard of the price of the Stone it is prescribed in vain For the common opinion is and they do say that it expells Sweat which yet happens not unless it have first consumed the morbous Acid for they consider this Stone to act in the Body as a Wedge driven by a Beetle not observing that the Forraign Sapor being consumed by the Stone or the like the contraction of the Pores is released and then the whole Body is transpirable of it self as Hippocrates hath taught I say also there is another Acid which the Lilium of Paracelsus doth imbibe in the Dropsie Another which the Spiritual Salt of Tartar in the Hypochondriack Melancholy and all other Diseases of the Spleen and another the Osteocolla in the fractures of the Bones And lastly it is another Acid which Corals with their Specifick Alcali do imbibe in the Gonorrhea c. A learned Physician in his Treatise of the Gout lately printed discoursing of the powerful Operations of a certain Mercury rightly applyed in that Disease and particularly of the knotted sort deemed incureable according to the Verse of the Poet Ovid generally vouched to the dishonour of Physick Tollere nodosam nescit Medicina Podagram And instancing in a person quickly and perfectly cured thereby of a knotted Gout gives us one Experiment accidently made on his own body whereby not only the difference of the Mercurial Diaphoretick from all others in its working but somewhat of its transcendent power when rightly prepared is fully made out which I hope will not seem too tedious if I transcribe it hither for the Readers better satisfaction about the different powers of Sudorificks He relates there that some years before he published that Book whilst he viewed the Mines of Cinaber in Transylvania and observed the way the Miners there used for extracting the living Mercury from the Oar by pounding and mixing it with Coals grosly beaten standing there in Earthen Vessels his whole body from the heat of that place and fumes of the Mercury did break out into sweat whereby a swelling which the Physitians call a Ganglion supposed to come from the straining of a sinew which had risen on his left hand some years before and was then grown up to a great body and had almost deprived that part of its motion and to which he had in vain applyed the most commended Remedies was taken away the matter of it being first diffused over all the back of his hand during his sweat and a little after within the space of two days quite dissipated into the Air and utterly disappeared and that he was in that manner perfectly cured of that swelling If any Person of Honour Learning Physician or other desire further satisfaction in the Nature Preparation or Ground of the Vertues ascribed to this Medicine he may be attended and further informed upon request Advice of the Publisher to the Reader Courteous Reader NExt after that blessed Glory and Immortality which is the prerogative of the Inhabitants of Heaven there is nothing so much to be valued and laboured after as the felicity of a long and healthful life in this World I have therefore greatly lamented with my self whilst I have observed on the one hand many Diseases to radicate and fix themselves deep and close in the bodies of Men and Women and their dear Children and Relations before they are discovered by the Persons affected or concerned or the Physitian to whom they repair for advice and on the other hand so many errours committed and sad inconveniencies thereby brought upon multitudes of People of all sorts by sudden and rash Attempts of intentional Cures upon supposed curative Indications These oftentimes are the causes whereby many Distempers become incurable and miserably vexatious during life which thereby of the greatest blessing becomes the heaviest curse and was in such case as truly as ingeniously compared to the span of a Gouty hand the longer it is extended the more painful and tormenting so that Death it self hath by some been preferred before such a diseased Life and its continued Agonies The reasons of this besides those abovementioned delay and length of time running on to a confirmation of Diseases before their true Natures and Causes are discovered and sudden and rash Judgments made in those cases are the administration of improper Medicines which do not only give the Disease time to grow on and fix it self on the Patients body and weaken it
