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

being first infected or altered by the originall causes infecteth the partes and other humors and therefore it is sayd the first originall causes moue the antecedē● But the couioyned cause of the accidents is that h●●●● which immediately procureth paynes and whea●es But h●ere it may be demaunded whether the euill ●●●litie in the humor which is the autecedent cause may be a disease It seemeth it cannot sith a disease affecteth a li●●●g thing but the humor liueth not Whereto it may be answered that the humor which is in the lyuer and veynes infected with this euill quality may be the subiect of a disease so it be graunted that that ill qualitie haue not attaynted the part because it may hinder digestion in the liuer and veines and ingender corrupt humors therefore by the definition of a disease it appeareth to be a disease Now to the argument it is answered that it is sufficient that a liuing thing be the subiect of denomination or be that which is named diseased it must not be that wherein the disease is settled yea that is most stable that the humor is the subiect wherein the disease is settled And if it be sayd how can the humor be an antecedent cause and yet a disease be in it as in a subiect I answere it is an antecedent in respect of the paynes and pustles because it is apt to flowe to the places of paine and pustles it is a conioyned cause in as much as it causeth an ill complexion in the member it is the subiect of a disease in respect it hath a disposition whereby the action of the member is hurt wherevpon it is called diseased If you consider these things well you shall comprehend all the difficulties which may be incident to the definition Of the signes of the french Pocks Chap. 3. 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. WE suppose the cure of this disease to consist in these 7. things First in solublenesse second by diminutiue purging thirdly digestion of the matter fourthly perfect purging fiftly alteration of the parts sixtly comforting of them seauenthly correcting the accidents But because an error committed in the sixe things not natural doth more hurt according to Serapion 5. practicae 2. Cap. And Auicen sayth that euery ill complexion is not cured by the contrarie but good dyet many times sufficeth therefore first wee must set downe the order in the ●●xe things not naturall Wherevpon albeit they which are sound keepe order yet that is called conseruatine and this curatiue Sithens therefore all cure is by contraries according to Galen 3. Artis and Auicen 4. 1. and this disease is very drie the order of diet must be inclyning to moystnesse And because in regarde of the essence it is hot comming of adustion and in respect of the humors colde because the humors are colde and drie the order in things actiue must be temperate and in passiue must incline to moysture And although in consideration of opening digesting and attenuating the humors it is requisite to appoynt hot things neuerthelesse there must be mingled with them colde and comfortable to the liuer and veynes Therefore in actiue things let the ayre incline to heate but in passiue let it be wholly moyst Let it be sweete and moued with the winde In Sommer this may be done by strowing the leaues of Willow Umes ●lagges Rushes Roses Uiolets mingling Bayes with them and other sweete herbes and sprinckling them with water In meate and drinke the dyet must not be slender For Hippoc. sayth Thinne and strayt diet in long diseases are hardly endured Let therefore his bread be neither hote nor aboue thrée dayes old well sodden and leauened His Wine white cleare of a meane temper betweene swéet and harsh mixed with sodden water or with the water of Buglosse Borrage and such like especially in the declining of the disease for at other times much matter might be caried to the places affected Therefore if there be variable paines let him drinke Claret Wine vntill the declining Let his flesh be Capenets fleshy but not fat and Chickens ●idde Veale Lamb of a yeare olde the flesh of Pheasant Partridge and little

halfe a dragme of Philoniū may be put to it as the payne requireth But these stupefactiue medicines are to be taken heed of The peeces of greene Gowrdes holden in the mouth are profitable It is good to wash the mouth with milke mingling with it the water of Nightshade or water Lillies I could adde many mo but because no hurt shall befall the mouth if you deale as I haue sayd before I ceasse and come to shewe the way how to auoyde this disease What cautions must bee obserued to escape the French Pockes Chap. 5. THey which are carefull to escape the French Pockes let them first eschue sinne For it is commonly sayd Aduersitie followeth Iniquitie especially let them beware of ryot For it is sayd in the third of Iob Ryot is a deuouring and consuming fire And the spirituall Phisitions doe say that diuers diseases followe diuers sinnes as the quotidian Feauer commeth for pride the Gowte for slouthfulnesse the Leprosie for ryot and so of the rest Seeing therefore this disease is likened to the Leprosie it is to be ascribed to Ryot But because these things perteine to an other Phisition this shal be sufficient Therefore wee counsaile on our behalfe that men beware to conuerse much with them that are infected principally from carnall copulation with an infected woman for this disease is contagious Therefore saith Auicen in the 2. of the 1. in the conclusion of his treatise of diseases Some diseases passe from one to an other as the Leprosie Scabbes small Pocks pestilent Feauers yea rotten Apostumes Sith then this disease is neere to the Leaprosie or Scabbes it must be thought contagious Moreouer such things as do engender ill humors especially melancholy nourishment must be auoyded as was shewed in the order of the sixe things not natural And if it happen the yard be hurt by carnall copulation it must be helped presently with this washing Take Rosemary Sage Camomill of each one handfull boyle them in white Wine to which being strained put two ounces of the Wine of Pomgranats halfe an ounce of hony of Roses wash the yard or infected place with this after spreade vpon it this powder Rec.

IF the reason be demaunded why this disease beginneth in the secret parts 〈◊〉 some fooles annswere that it commeth by reason the humors in that place are most méete to be corrupted but if this were a sufficient reason almost all diseases should haue there beginning in that place Therefore it must be say● that betweene those parts and the qualitie of this disease there is such conformitie and this came by meanes of that ●●fluence for euery thing worketh not vpō euery thing but a certaine vpon a certaine Arist 1. phys so this disease is readier to be first taken in the yard then in the necke head shoulders and not in other places Therefore the influence at that time was an enemy to the head and yard And if it be demaunded why it hath the termination by the mouth it may be aunswered that this procéedeth of the propertie of Quicksiluer which doth drawe humors to those parts or better thus that Quicksiluer by his heate doth warme and make thinne the humors thus prepared to expell them by the vppermost parts therefore Paulus affirmeth it to be hoate and moist in the fourth degrée to whome I doo rather stick then to Auicen who maketh it cold in the second degrée And if it be demaunded why the mouth doth stincke it may be aunswered that this commeth of the Quicksiluer whose fume hath propertie to make the mouth stinck as Auicen saith can 2. cap. 2. Heereupon also commeth paine in the head and hurt in the mouth as it may be gathered of the nature of it vnto this may be added the burnt putrified ill humor which may make the same accidents and therefore it is no maruaile if there be so great paines Now the especiall remedie is that when the humor beginneth to be expelled by the mouth it be diuerted by medicines ministred vpward and downeward to bring it to the lower parts If it be demaunded wherefore some persons being apt to melancholick diseases both in regard of complexion and ill order are not infected I say that perhaps their bodies are more firme and consequently do more hardly receiue an impression then others or by some other propertie which in diuers bodies is found to be diuers as saith Auicen 1. 1. And if it be demaunded why Quicksiluer helpeth or is more auailable thā other medicines except the distilling of Triacle before mentioned it must be aunswered to come of his propertie or rather manifest qualitie because it is hoate and moyst in the highest degrée and the disease cold and drie That the disease is cold and drie it is proued first because it is Saturnall as hath beene shewed secondly because it is found by experience that hoate moyst things helpe also because it hath affinitie with the Leprosie which is a cold and drie disease and with other melancholick diseases againe because it is a long disease for Auicen saith 1. 3. cap. 2. That sicknesse which is prolonged is wholy cold and it is confirmed because we see this matter to putrifie seldome or to cause a Feuer heereupon sayth Galen Nothing doth properly corrupt of cold or drye 2. Booke of Complexions Therefore this must be sayd so to be because the disease is cold and dry If it be demaunded why some medicines seeme to helpe in the beginning but when they are continued they ceasse to helpe it is said that this commeth of a double cause whereof the one is in nature the other in the disease in regard of nature which by continuance doth loath and reioyce in nouelties in regard of the disease because albeit in the beginning the medicine is contrarie to the disease yet in processe the contrarietie ceasseth through custome therefore sayth Auicen There is no passion from a thing accustomably vsed 4. 1. Heereupon we sée some beastes to be contrarie and enemies at the first meeting but by vsuall conuersation that enmitie ceasseth then they become tame and the strife is ended between them this must be also accompted amongst the qualities

And if it be sayd on the contrarie that the agent and patient being duely situated of necessitie an action must follow it is aunswered that in this case there is action but so small that it is of no force Or it may be aunswered that by custome the disposition of the patient is altered wherevpon it doth follow that change of medicines so that they be not from the purpose is very profitable as Auicen sayth in the place alleadged If it be demaunded whether bloodletting is agreeable to this disease I aunswere that in the beginning and before the matter be dispersed to the greeued places whereby it is mingled with the blood especially if it be scattered in the skinne then I say it is conuenient if other particulars concurre but in processe it is not conuenient except the ointments and other medicines haue been applied because that when nature hath endeuoured to expell humors being helped with medicines she hath mingled some parte thereof with the blood wherefore cupping is lesse disliked but with this caution that the cold humors be not made more crude nor the hoate more inflamed according to Auicen 4. 1. Beware thou bring not thy patient to one of these two things either to the boyling of cholerick humors or cruditie of colde humors In this case cruditie is more feared then boiling and therefore it is seldome conuenient and by experiēce it hath hurt more then it hath helped If it be demaunded how these paynes in this disease are to be called I aunswere they are extensiue or stretched whereupon sayth Auicen The cause of extended payne is either windynesse or an humor that stretcheth the nerue or muscle as if it drew it to the extremities Neither is it true which some thinke that this is a breaking payne because they thinke the matter to be betweene the bone and the skinne grounding themselues on the saying of Auicen The cause of breaking payne is windinesse betweene the bone and the skinne which couereth it Auicen speaketh not of the skinne immediatly couering the bone for that is vnsensible but he speaketh of those which do not immediatly cleane to the bone as the skinne couering the ribbes or skull and such like Sith therefore this paine is not in those places it ought not to be so called If it be demaunded to what pustles the pustles in this disease are like I aunswere to those which are called of Auicen pustles in the face who sayth that Asafati is a high banke of vlcerous pustles Neuerthelesse there are oft times pustles in these like others as those which resemble nodes fistulaes cancers burning ants and all others as the diligent viewer may iudge but because the disputation about names appertaineth not to a Physition as Auicen sayth 4. 1. 5. I purpose not to be long in this matter as others haue done who not knowing the nature and causes of a disease and by consequent not the cure haue only trifled about names whose works I knowe not to what end they haue beene printed If it be demaunded why the paines are increased in the second or third day of the vnction It is answered because then the humors are moued and also made thinne in their curing or digestion which commeth by the benefite of the vnction according to the Aphorisine 2. part Feuers and paynes are more increased in the labouring to suppuration than when matter is fully digested And therfore it is a most singular secret to minister thē solutiue medicines that before the humor be purged at the mouth it may bee caried downward and by this meanes the mouth shall not bee hurt as I haue often tryed Or if he haue Pustles or vlcerated places there must drawing medicines be applyed that the humor may be there auoyded bee diuerted from the mouth Hervpon is inferred that that is the more true opinion which sayth Quicksiluer is hote than that which sayth it is colde sith by it the humour is made thinne and moueable as hath beene shewed But contrariwise Vincentine Aiax Siculus a learned young man sayth Quicksiluer causeth cold diseases as Palsies the falling sicknesse and such like as saith Auicen can 2. therefore it is colde For like is engendred of like as it is in the Physicks To this it is answered that this might bée true if of it selfe it procured these diseases but it causeth them accidentally to wit by weakning sith it is contrary in nature to the sinewes and brayne because it is hote and moyst and the naturall complexion is helped of the like and is hurt by the contrarie as it is 3. Art Galeni The more hote partes haue neede of more hote medicines Therefore the braine and sinewes through their weakenesse engender colde humors and also doe easely receiue them Thus the solution is plaine because it cannot bee that any thing should bring forth a thing diuers from it accidentally as heate colde and colde heate c. It was also demaunded oft by a wittie young man Franciscus de Carmino whether Quicksiluer bee fit in this disease seeing by consent of all Authors it is an enemie to the sinewes and this disease most commonly is in the sinewes He sayth further The report of all is not vayne 7. Ethic. But almost all say that Quicksiluer is contrarie and doe therefore ●●allow vnctiōs c. To these I haue answered that Quicksiluer is agreeable for the reasons before alleadged But I answer to the first argument that although it may haue some hurt in it yet when it is corrected as is shewed it is not so much but the helpe is more Or it may be sayd that therefore Quicksiluer is contrarie to the sinewes because the constitution of it is contrary to the naturall cōstitution of the sinewes but in as much as the sinewes are distempered to colde and drie and that ill temperature is remoued vntill they come to their good temperature it may be sayd it is absolutely necessarie Therefore some things in sicknesse are good which in health were vnmeete and would bring the bodie to decay To the second reason I say that it must bee noted that Aristotle sayth It is not altogether vayne For he would not haue it to be vtterly false for it is true in part in as much as Quicksiluer hath some hurt in it Yet it is not therefore to be reiected vtterly especially when it is corrected For Galen saith 9. de tuenda sanitate It is hard to finde such an helpe as hath no hurt in it It was further demaunded by him why the paynes are more increased in the ioynts than in other places sith by motion they should rather be resolued And this was one Iames Roger a subtill youth Vnto this it is answered the emptinesse in the place is of more force to gather than the motion to resolue Wherevpon sayth Auicen Fen. 2. ●an 1.
