of the juice of Citrons For preservative you may drink Wormwood-beer or a small quantity of the former Cordials or eat mince and sage with bread and butter and smell to the herbs or you may steep those herbs with Wormwood in white-wine Vinegar which is excellent good in the Plague-time also Seamen and Soldiers are often troubled with Fluxes therefore it will not here be amiss to lay down some convenient remedies for the Cure of the same but being there are several kinds of Fluxes I shall begin first with that which is called Lientery which is when the food received into the body is cast forth in the same substance colour and smell as it was received This proceeds from a weakness of the retaining faculty of the stomach when it cannot keep the meat long enough therein till it be concocted likewise from a cold distemper of the stomach and liver begetting cold and raw humours which fill up the wrinkles of the stomach that it cannot keep the food it receives or else from ●harp humours pricking and twitching the parts by which the stomach and guts are provoked to send forth their meat too soon If this comes from a cold cause you may know it from the sowr belching that follows and phlegmatick excrements that are voided If the humors come from the head the excrements are frothy and after sleep the flux is greater if it come by provocation caused by sharp and pricking humors he will have a great thirst heat in his flanks gnawing in his stomach voiding sharp and chollerick excrements If this disease come from tough phlegmatick humors covering the wrinkles of the stomach you must cut them with honey of Roses Oxymel simplex and Oxymel-squils and the like Then you must give him gentle Purges for which purpose Pills are the best because they stay longest in the stomach of which you may take these for an example Take of Pillulae Cochiae and Pill Ruffi of each half a dram mix them and make them into six Pills of which let him take three at night going to bed and the other three the next morning or night according as you see occasion or else Pills of Hiera with Agrick or Pillulae Alephenginae the same Dose of either a part for Glisters they are here of no great force except the flux be violent and then they must be binding such as shall be spoken of hereafter In a Bloudy-flux after you have purged the humors offending you must then strengthen the stomach wi●h cooling Syrrups and Julips if it come from a hot cause mixing therewith some few drops of the Spirit of Viteral or Sulphur also some Marmalet of Quinces will be good or this following Take of the Conserve of Sorrel and Wormwood of each one ounce Conserve of Roses Suckery and Buglas of each half an ounce Diamargariton frigidum and Diarrhodon Abbatis of each one dram one scruple of Troches of Spodium with as much Syrrup of Lemmons as will serve to make them up to the form of an Electuary mix them and let the Patient take the quantity of a Chesnut morning noon and night or this following Take six ounces of old Conserve of Roses six drams of London or Venice Treakle with as much Marmalet of Quinces as will make it into an Electuary mix them and let the Patient take about the quantity of half an ounce in the morning drinking nothing after for the space of three or four hours if from a cold cause let the Patient boyl some Guaiacum or Sassafras in his drink of which take this for a pattern Take of guaiacum Sassafras Sarsaparilla of each two ounces English Liquorice and Cinnamon of each one ounce Coriander-seed an ounce Infuse them in four quarts of spring or running-water twenty four hours afterwards boyl it gently to the consumption of half of this Let the Patient drink half a pinte at a time about the quantity of a quart in a day here Mithridate Nutmeg Diatessaron and Diatrion pipirion is good if he wants rest and the flux continue give him three grains of Laudanum Opiatum where note in the taking of all which things if the Flux heing stayed break out again it is a sign ill humours are to be purged away to which purpose Rubarb prepared Infused often in Indiff-water is very excellent The next sort of Fluxes is called Diarrhaea which is a Flux in which excremental cholerick or phlegmatick humours are cast forth without either blood or food and these come either from the whole body or from the brain or stomach Guts Liver Spleen Mesentery and if in women from the womb and the like If the Patient hath had or have at present a feaver or be dropsical or of an ill habit of body or have eaten excessively and not digested his food it is a sign that it comes from the whole body If the excrements be frothy and he void more by night than day and he have some manifest disease in his head as a Catarrh Lethargy Deafness c. then it proceeds from the head If the fault be in the stomach the Patient hath eaten food apt to corrupt and there appear signs that the concoction is injured either from a hot or cold cause if from the first the humours will be sharp cholerick stinking and nature labours to throw it out if from the last then the excrements will be crude and phlegmatick If the Flux proceed from the Liver the excrements are cholerick and you will perceive some distemper of the Liver if from the Spleen they will be blackish and you have signs of a distempered Spleen If from the Dysentery you will have an extension of the humours but they come from the Liver and Spleen if from the Guts there 's worms if from the womb there hath been obstructions of the Courses and now some symptom that vexes and increases the Flux at that time the Courses are wont to flow For to help this Disease first of all open a vein if the body be full of bloud and if it be not it is good to let bloud if the Patient hath a feaver then purge with such things as leave a binding quality behind them such as Rubarb dryed and given in Plantane-water with syrrup of Quinces or take a dram of Rubarb and half a dram of the yellow Mirobolans and half a scruple of yellow Saunders infuse them in Plantane-water strain it and to the straining add half a dram of Rubarb in powder and one ounce of Syrrup of Roses a potion for one dose or you may add the lenitive Electuary or Catholicon according to the strength and condition of the Patient and humours vomiting is good if the body be strong before and after purging give this or the like glyster Take Wheat-bran and red Rose leaves of each one pugil whole Barley two pugils Liquorice sliced and Raisins of the Sun of each one ounce boyl these in a sufficient quantity of water till they come to a pinte in the straining
