preservative Medicines inwardly to be taken THe several Medicines in this Treatise to be taken into the body for preservatives are also Cordials being indeed such Cordials as have vertue to open the pores of the body and by sweating to give breathing to nature and thereby to defend mans body from Contagion being such also as heretofore have been prescribed to be taken by men of the best judgments in Physick for the defending curing and driving out the disease from the principal parts Sweating Medicâ—â—es the best by sweat for without all doubt no Medicine can be generally so safe for the first intention and entrance upon this cure of the plague as is a true Diaphoretick or sweat-provoking Cordial Medicine whether it be taken by way of a Preservative or as a curative Medicine as ancient Writers testifie Galen's Opinion of Diaphoretick Medicines And namely Galen the Prince of Physicians attributeth unto Antidotes the whole Cure of the disease of the Plague and by Antidotes he meaneth Medicines Cordial and Preservatives such as by opening the pores provoke sweat But as there is no general rule but may admit an exception even so this excellent course may not be alwayes safe and warrantable at the first in respect of the wonderful varieties this fearful disease produceth as well in the beginning as in the progresse thereof Sweating sometime to be â—â—itted For it may upon occasion as of fulnesse or of obstructions of the body so come to passe that evacuation general or particular must as in due course precede either by Blood-letting Vomit Purging Glister or Suppository or some one or more of these I say where just cause is they may as of necessity precede for which cause it will ever be safe to use expert advice if such may be had onely remember by the way what is said of purging Medicines and their danger if first taken in the Cure of the Plague Here following I mean to set down several sorts of the chief of the compound Cordial Medicines mentioned in this Treatise following or otherwise in frequent use which are inwardly to be taken into the body to prevent the coming of the disease or being received by sweating best for the expelling of the Venome so received into the body with the dose orquantity reasonable of each of them to be taken by way of preservative to pre vent the disease before it cometh as also what quantity may be fitly taken for the safe provoking of sweat when any one feeleth himself evil disposed and vehemently suspecteth himself to be fallen or entring into the disease by any of the symptomes or signes before expressed or otherwise The chief Cordials in general use are these that follow Cordials against the Plague THeriac Andromach or the true Venice Treacle and not inferiour to it is Mithridate Democrat both of which are now truly made in London Also London Treacle is a very good Antidote or preservative well approved and Electuar dâ— Ovo or the Electuary of the Egge is also a very sure good Cordial also Theriaâ— Diatessar by the ancient Writers called the poor mans Treacle by my self much experienced and approved to be good all these and every of them in their natures either mixed or given each perse or by it self are very good being Diaphoreticks or Medicines provoking sweat more or lesse and thereby opening obstructions and by evaporation expurging venom and refreshing nature and so by consequent curing the Plague Purgatives usefull Hereunto may also be well added some appropriate purgatives to be taken both as preservatives and as curatives where just occasion is namely Pilul Pestilentiales Râ—ffi Pil. Praeservan t Joh. Bahini one dram of any one of them for a purge is a just quantity for an able body and he or she may safely take it any time either at night or morning when there is just reason and for the dose or quantity by way of preservative to be taken at one time is one pill about the bignesse of a Pease or in weight about 12. or 14. grains or at the most 20. gr which is termed a scruple once in a day or once in two or three dayes either at evening or in the morning but I conceive it is best to bed-ward and he or she who taketh it ought to observe that if it make him or her have but one loose stool it is sufficient Much laxâ—ty unsafe For it is not safe for any person to keep his body loose alwayes in times of general infection or contagion for that that is recited elsewhere for where emptinesse is evil vapours have place of entrance Also as touching the first of the forenamed Cordials one dramme for a Dose and namely of Andremach Treacle or Venice Treacle and a like Dose of any the other three specâ—fied Preservatives to be taken by way of a Curative course but by way of a Preservative at any one time for a strong body 20 grains may suffice and may be taken without offence which is one scruple or a lesse quantity to a weaker body and to a strong body infected to provoke him to sweat Ê’ j. and se or Ê’ ij by a strong man of any of them either in Cordiall waters or Wine as is said may be safely received into the body Except of the Electuary of the Egge the Dose whereof is one Drach at the utmost And whereas divers Writers prescribe such Antidotes to be taken in distilled waters as of Carduus Angelica Dragon-water or the like which in time of contagion are not onely scarce but fraudulent and seldom or by few truly made But yet I' must say being truly How to administer preservatives made they do excell many other Liquors Yet for reasons aforesaid in their wants I hold it safe to administer Mithridate London Treacle or Diatessaroâ— or any such Medicine in good French Wine and sometimes in Spanish Wine if the disease begin cold or in posset-drink made with wine or without wine as reason shall guide And note that it would ever be fittest to give these Medicines or any of them in the most cordial Liquors that may be had but if the sick will as willingly take them in a Bolus I mean in a lump namely as it is of it self he may safely do it yet if the stomach of the sick will not so admit of it then it may not be amisse to give him a draught of warm posset drink made with Carduus Benedictus Burrage or Buglosse or Sorrel water and a little Sugar boyled therein or in want of those herbs a plain posset and three spoonfuls of Spanish wine added thereto where the Artist shall see it so necessary which may time enough be added when the Posset is taken from the fire if the Patient be taken cold as is said but if the Disease begin burning then let Sorrel or Violet leaves or Strawberry leaves or some other cordial roots Herbs or Flowers as is already rehearsed be put

wood Water NO water whatsoever more gratefull to the stomack then is Wormwood water truly composed for it is as balsame thereto It consumeth and breaketh wind mightily killeth the worms whereunto our Nation are subject in the East-Indies hindereth vomiting provoketh appetite is very good against pains in the head proceeding of a cold cause and is very Cordial Balme Water THis water hath a great respect to the heart for of all other but the former no herb is esteemed more Cordial then this and is of a grateful smell and tast yet I hold it more proper to women then men for it much respecteth the infirmities of the Mother and is in the times of their pains very comfortable to take a little of it for the safer and sooner provoking of speedy delivery Angelica water ANgelica water may serve well in stead of Treakle or Mithridate for a preservative against the Plague or any infectious aire for there is no one thing more commended by ancient and moderne Writers in that kind then Angelica is whereof there is good experience it is also very stomachical and cordial and being truly made will retain his strength and vertues forty years and more Mint Water AQua Menthae doth warm and strengthen the stomack liver spleen or milt helpeth concoction stayeth vomit and is very Cordial Aqua Cardui Benedicti CArdâ—â—s Benedictus Water doth ease the pain of the head confirmeth the memory cureth a quartane provoketh sweat and comforteth the vital spirits The Conclusion AL these waters and spirits rehearsed though in themselves they be good yet if any of the best of them be abused and immoderately taken they may as soon do harm as profit I advise therefore no man to make a common use of them or any of them which hath a young able body and may have a good diet at his pleasure for they are chiefly to be used at sea where mens bodies by variety of the venemous vapours and evil dispositions of the aire or unkind diet are in hazzard or where there is a weak stomack evil digestion with a loathing disposition to meat evil appetite and too much loosnesse of the belly also where by extream heat and sweat the spirits of the body are exhausted and spent or where through the extream cold of the same the body is much annoyed and endangered In all these and infinite more evils incident to mens bodies abroad and at home these precious liquors minister present comfort They also are very behoveful to aged people after their meats to help digestion or them which have weak stomacks or that are of sad and melancholy dispositions for it must not be denied that wine comforteth the heart of man and these waters having their original and whole force from the spirit or life of the wine do thereby exhilarate mans heart and give him courage as well as cure his infirmities If therefore these waters be truly made they ought also to be strong of the spirit of wine otherwise they will not keep long good neither are they profitable nor wholsome and being good one spoonful at one time is sufficient or two spoonfuls at the most for the preserving of health they are best to be taken fasting one hour or two after dinner and last at night either alone or with beere or wine some make a toste fasting and drop the same full of cordial water and so eat it and that is very good In gripings of the guts collick or flixes of the belly proceeding of cold causes or much crudity three spoonfuls or four may be used at once in a Glifter but you must not boil it therein onely put it in when it is ready to be administred for if you do otherwise the spirit will evaporate and be of no force Aqua Rosarum Daâ—ascenarum DAmask Rose-water doth refrigerate and comfort the heart is good against swouning and causeth sleep Aqua Rosarum Rubrarum REd Rose-water doth refrigerate bind and corroborate the vitall and animal faculties benefiteth the head easeth the pained eares and eyes and doth good in inflammations and is profitable in medicines against Dysentery Aqua Odorifera SWeet water is very necessary and profitable to aromatize the body and refresh the senses it sweetneth the garments taking all offensive savours away and doth much exhilarate the spirits being well composed of true Aromatick Ingredients Aqua Plantaginis PLantane water is astringent and sanative good to them that are in a consumption of the lungs in a dropsie or that have the bloody flix good also against the quartane ague it cureth the ulcers of the reins bladder and excoriations of the passage of the yard and being drunk helpeth against ardent urine or the sharpnesse of the water Aqua Falopii FOr this water if you desire the composition thereof I refer you to the Author namely Gabrielus Falopius in his Treatise De Morbo Gallico but hereafter I mean to set down some several compositions thereof for the Author hath divers It is a water proper and is made chiefly of Mercury sublimed I say chiefly for that though the other things for quantity be ten for one yet sublimed Mercury will carry no cools but will ever shew his valour in healing or spoiling I put not this composition ready made into any Surgeons Chest but rather leave the ingredients and let the discreet Surgeon make it to please himself for if I my self should find such a composition made by any I should much fear to use of it and so I wish the Surgeons Mate to do in all Mercurial Lotions but rather let him use such other good Lotions as are set down in the cure of the Scurvy unto any of which he may add sublimate and term it if he please Aquâ— Falopii but I say let him well understand himself both in the composition and administration of any such medicines or let him crave advice or rather forbear them and use other safer medicines though their vertues or vices perhaps be fewer Aqua viridis THis Green water which is held a maxime by some Surgeons hath his tincture from Viridi or Aeris and likewise his astringent tast and vertue His chief use is concerning the cures of Opthalmiae in the eyes and also against divers rheumes or distillations of humours troubling the eyes guttatim or drop-wise adminstred for the description whereof I refer the Reader to the rest of my compositions where they shall be found together but I use in place thereof Lapis medicamentosâ—s which in his place also shall be spoken of Aqua fortis AQua fortis or strong water I have to satisfie some Surgeons put into their Chests but for my self I see no reason for it nor do I know any Chirurgical use it hath which is not much better performed by oyl of vitriâ—l whereunto I refer you rather for that it is a far sweeter and surer medicine as at large shall be spoken of in his place Verjuice VErvise or Verjuice made of the juyce of
Succus Acatiae SUccus Acatiae is a forrein medicine for which we use the juice of Sloes it doth refrigerate binde and repell it stayeth all fluxes of the belly healeth excoriations of the intrals strengtheneth much the stomack helpeth appetite healeth ulcerations in the intrals either used in Glisters or eaten in agelly The dose whereof may safely be ℥ i. at one time or 2. ℥ cannot offend but I hold the infusion thereof or the decoction of it to be the aptest medicine because of the grossnesse of the sustance thereof Succus Glycirrhizae SUccus Glycirrhizae or juyce of Licorice in all his qualities is temperate but exceeding in heat somewhat it doth lenifie the throat and mitigate the asperities of the arteries cleanseth the bladder and is good for the cough moveth expectoration and is very profitable against all vices of the lungs and throat Succus Limonum SUccus Limonum or juyce of Limons expelling and refrigerating cleareth the skin of morphew killeth handworms and is of special use to bridle the heat of melancholy to help sharpe and contagious fevers is good to cause a pleasant tast in potions c. and Cordials It is very cordial of it self and the most precious help that ever was discovered against the Scurvy to be drunk at all times for it mightily openeth all obstructions and refresheth and restoreth nature Pulpa Tamarindorum PUlpa Tamarindorum the pulpe or juice of Tamarinds is a medicament excellent and well approved of against Scurvy as well for opening the obstructions of the liver and spleen as for comforting and refreshing the blood and spirits decayed or stopped Also it purgeth choler allayeth the heat and fury of blood cureth sharpe fevers and the Kings evil extinguisheth thirst and all heat of the stomack and liver stoppeth vomiting and is good for the Chollick Pilulae Aggregativae PIlulae Aggregativae so called either from the Agaricum or the aggregation of many vertues that are said to be therein for they are profitable for many affections of the head stomack and liver they purge flegme choler and melancholy and therefore are of very good use against continual fevers and inveterate diseases It is described by Mesues whose dose is from two scruples to a dram and a half But beware of the use of these pils where the flux raigneth for Agaricum in such bodies as are incident thereto is a dangerous medicine I speakthis of experience wherefore remember it Pilulae Aureae PIlulae Aureae or golden pils being in colour like aurum or gold because of the saffron in them they are cholagogall attracting choler yea and flegme too from the inferiour and superiour venter and therefore purge the head senses and eyes and restore the eye sight They were first made known by Nicolaus Myrepsus who was the first inventer of them their dose is like that of the pils Aggregative Pilulae Cochiae PIlulae Cochiae deriving their name from a Greek word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a grain pils being formed small and round like grains of Cicers do purge both choler and flegme from the head the liver and from all other parts wherein such humours are contained and are found described first by Dr. Rhasis who is their supposed Author The dose is divers as before sometimes great sometimes small but ʒ i. is the ordinary dose Pilulae de Euporbio PIlulae de Euphorbio pils of Euphorbium receiving Mesues for their Patron are vertuous against the dropsie and Scurvy for they calefie the stomack and intrails purge water abundantly prevail also in removing the cause of tumours and bring aide for the pain of the loines and gout proceeding from too much humidity they are effectual in the quantity of one scruple or half a dram and may be mixed with Pilulae Cochiae Pilulae Cambogiae PIls of Cambogia are good to cleanse the head and refresh the sight to purge choler flegme or melancholy from the stomack or spleen they open obstructions and thereby profit well in the cure of the dropsie and scurvy and for the cure of Icteritia flava or the yellow Jaundise they are very good This Cambogia is much used in Holland and Germany and Doctor Harvey of St. Bartholomews Hospital calleth it purging saffron and giveth it in pils per se in which manner given it purgeth both wayes forcibly but the pils here mentioned purge onely downwards very gently their dose is ʒ ss their composition shall be mentioned in his due place Pilulae Ruffi PIlulae Ruffi or Pestilentiales Ruffi subscribing to Ruffus their inventer a famous Physition and fitting for the pestilence and plague do rather prevent infection then cure the infected for by reason of the aloes the body is freed from excrements by myrrha from putrefaction and by Saffron the vital faculties are quickned but infection once possessed is not alwayes by such light cordials and gentle laxatives removed their dose agreeth with that of Pilulae Aureae they are very stomachal for they refresh much the stomack and in any oppressions of the stomack where gentle purging is required they excell Benedicta laxativa BEnedicta laxativa or the blessed laxative doth mightily open obstructions purgeth choler flegme and all clammy humours from the joynts reins and bladder and is termed Benedicta because it benignely looseth the belly The dose is ʒ ii Pulvis Arthriticus Paracelsi THis is a laxative powder made onely of four vegetables and one Animal simplex with the addition of sugar to give it the more grateful tast the dose is to ʒ i. at the utmost besides the sugar I can speak of the pleasure and profit I have had by this mean purging powder I say pleasure for that it is so pleasant and easie to be taken and profit to me many wayes for it is my general purging medicine when I would purge downwards upon any repletion of the body or general cause of evacuation downwards and I find it indifferent in purging any offending humour according to the commendations the Author giveth of it I can no more misse this plain and harmlesse ready purge then I can misse my Salvatory Oswaldus Crollius a most learned late Writer hath set down this onely purge for the cure of the Podagra giving it this breif commendation It purgeth safely and gently all podagrical defluctions and in truth whosoever shall have occasion of the use thereof will have cause to commend it and knowing it will find small need of Pulvis Hollandicus or Pulvis sanctus whose dose at sea must be at the least two drames being nauseous and unsavoury whereas ʒ ss of this will do as much with great facility and without tortions or gripings of the guts which other compositions cause I use to give it to strong bodies in white wine to weaker in sack but at sea for a need it may be given in fair water and some sirupe to help the tast thereof which neverethelesse is not ungrateful of it self Trochiscus de Absinthio TRochiscus de Absinthio or of

the vertues of Medicines Simple or Compound for the Surgeons Chest THe vertues uses and doses of all the precedent medicines here noted have been gathered from such Authors as either were the Inventors of them or formerly have taken them upon them to whose works I refer the Reader which thing if any well disposed Artist upon good ground shall question I doubt not to satisfie him The Authors I have used herein are these following Galenus Mesues Avicenna Tagaltius Vigo Paracelsus Josephus Quercitanus Renodeus Johannes Jacobus Weckerus Dodoneus Valerius Cordus Riolanus Rulandus Oswoldus Crollius Dorncrellius Augustanus Montanus Matheolus Fernelius Dioscorides Franciscus Arceus Monardus Nicolaus Alexandrinus Serapius And some others whose names sometimes I have remembred and noted sometimes for haste pretermitted wherein I confesse I have done them hard measure like him which in hast sleighteth his good friends a fault too common OF WOVNDS A Wound is a recent solution of a continuity or a division of that which was knit together without putrefaction and Definition of a wound is common as well to the soft and organick parts as also to the harder it may though seldom it doth arise from an internal cause as the malice of bad humours but more commonly it comes from an external cause namely by the violence of some instrument For which cause a wound is said to differ in his denomination for sometimes it is called a thrust or punction which is made by stabbing with any thing sharp pointed as a Dagger Rapier or the The divers appellations of wounds like sometimes it is named a Contusion when by a weighty thing offending as timber falling down or violently cast down as a stone the flesh is bruised and broken sometimes also it hath the appellation of Incision or incised wound for that it is done by an edged instrument as a knife or sword And these wounds are either simple or compound the simple are onely in the upper skin or flesh without detriment or losse of substance which also have their several species or kinds because of their divers forms some being greater or smaller profound or superficial long or little streight round or crooked of a facile cure of difficile or mortal And for the sounder judgment and better cure of all wounds which are either external or internal and penetrating there are several signes of ancient tradition with much diligence to be had in remembrance which daily practice also verifieth The several differences of all external wounds are discerned by sight or handling The places of internall wounds Those which are termed internal and penetrating wounds are either in the head breast or inferiour venter and are discovered likewise by sight by feeling or by searching with an instrument into them The hurt or ruption of the membranes or brain is accompanied with sneesing vomitting bleeding at the nose or eares raving and the like but if the substance of the brain be hurt those signes are encreased and a bilious or sharp vomitting is seen also a fever dull understanding with alteration of favour and countenance do ensue stupidity also and dumbnesse signifie the brain contused The breast is observed to be wounded and penetrated when aire commeth forth of the wound or when the person sick hath in his mouth a sense of the things applied to his grief It appeareth that the lungs are hurt if the respiration be difficult a a ratling sound in breathing be heard and the excrement which is voided from the mouth be spumous pale and crude The Pericranium hurt hath sometimes sudden and often swounding for a sign though some neverthelesse having the Penicranium wounded or contused have no evil symptomes extraordinary to other mean wounds of other parts The Heart wounded hath the refrigeration of all the parts extinction of natural heat and death attending thereon If the great Veins and Arteries in the breast be offended and immoderate flux of blood defection of vertue in all the faculties a cold and an unsavoury sweat doth ensue and death within a few hours The solution of continuity in the sinewie parts of the Diaphragma causeth convulsion difficile respiration an acute fever raving and death but if the fleshy part onely be agrieved it is capable of remedies and suffereth not such dangerous symptomes If the recurrent Nerves be wounded there followeth losse of speech immediate motion and sense also is suppressed and that without recovery In the wounds of the Liver appear vomiting bloody dejections much pain a continual fever and if they be deep fainting resolution of the spirits cold sweat and death follow The Spleen offended is as the Liver affected save that the symptoms are in the right side the other in the left The Ventricle is demonstrated to be wounded by the voiding
the bottom I use once more my Aqua benedicta and give a second vomit of Aquilla vita Other Rules for the finishing of the Cure Also I observe it for good in the conclusion of each sure cure to give such a vomit where the strength of the Patient will bear it Furthermore I prescribe the Patient a strict drying dyet where I see good cause not otherwise But remember this principal rule that what day he either taketh vomiting purging or sweating medicine that the same day he forbear his dyet drink Further beware that you prescribe not over slender diet to him which is already pinched with weak diet either at Sea or Land or whose diet is of bad nourshment as too oftentimes it happeneth amongst poor Seafaring men in long Voyages Thus using this afore prescribed medicine judiciously you may cure any pockie Fistula or inveterated Ulcer whatsoever if they by Art are curable And for any pockie Ulcer on the virga I mean either upon glans or praputium or 'twixt both only touch it but once with the aforesaid Aqus benedicta and give the party one dose of the Aquilla vitae and without question you shall cure it afterwards as if it were a green wound but remember it will cause Virga to tumifie sometimes much but be not afraid for by the use of Lotions mixed with Plantane or fair water daily warm and cast it in twixt Glans and Praeputium it will soon amend It cureth also any warts of the virga by onely touching them and that if they be touched but very gently for it is a strong medicine and procureth some pain but not in warts yet honest it is and sure for it will not fail and if once you acquaint your selves with the parts thereof you will never afterward use Trosses of minium nor Mercury sublimate again and yet let me speak my Conscience both Trosses of minium and Mercury sublimate are worthy Medicines their whole force and healing vertue being indeed onely the quick-silver and spirits of salt and no other thing whose companion was never found out for healing and killing I have often cured desperate Ulcers yea and Fistulaes with Trosses of Minium as also sometimes with onely a Tent made of Mercury sublimated and put into the orifice And how excellent it is inwardly given being truly prepared I will for this time forbear to speak till I write of the preparation of such medicines as I have here divulged under strange names Thus much of Ulcers and Fistulaes to God his glory and the help of the weaker sort of young Practitioners The Cure of Fractures THE first Intention in the Cure of Fractures is performed by restoring the bones disjoyned and taking away any loose pieces or fragments of bones if any be The second Intention is performed by keeping the parts together namely the ends of the bones formerly displaced and fractured by violence The third Intention to be done is the curing of the wounds or contusions incident to fractured bones The fourth to prevent or remove the accidents The first part of this work namely the restoring or rather bringing to their places the fractured ends of the bones is performed by extention and a skilfull and ready hand touching the extention let it be done paulatim by little and little as the tearm is with even hands The first work not by jumps or on the sudden and yet with as much force as is requisite namely till the Artist standing by with his hands upon the grief perceive he is able to set the ends of the bones into their place which done it is then required that they be kept so The second curative intention of Fractures is performed by keeping the ends of their bones placed in their right forme and place This part is chiefly done by good Ligature wherein I am willing to impart to young Artists my practise in curing Fractures in the thighes and legges and understand I use no rowlers at all but clowts splints armed and tape my reason is it is a great disease and disquiet to my Patient yea though I have two assistants to hold the member to come so oft about the member as to rowle it and endangereth much the disjoynting of the bones again and causeth pain And it is manifest that in simple Fractures the placing of the bones and keeping them so is the most work of the Cure and nothing cureth a fractured bone so much as rest wherefore when a bone is newly placed and shall be troubled much with lifting and rowling it cannot but hinder unition and procure some accidents offensive my form of Ligatures in Fractures is to have next the member one four-double clowt in length I mean above and below the Fracture so long that the ends of the splints I intend to use may have a resting place on the clowt And if I intend to cure the Patient by a Lixivium I apply it on this said clowt appointing the medicine ever to be next to the grief then I have another like great cloth to come over that again under the splints which being close and smooth brought about the member I then put under the first splint of a good bredth and length well armed with tow and under that I lay foure or five strong tapes then I tie one of the said tapes gently and thurst all the rest of the splints under the same tape namely so many as may compasse the fractured member lying close but with some small distance that they touch not one another then I tie the rest of the tapes drawing them close till the partie fensibly seel them to bear in all places the splints I appoint commonly so long as the member can bear without galling or troubling the next joynt these things so done if either the legge or thigh be fractured I appoint him juncks as some terme them namely bents rowled up in canvasse to come above his knee and down to the foot yea though onely the legge be fractured it is fit these bundles of junckes be as thick and thicker then the member fractured for that they may defend it in bed from wrong and they are gently to be bound to the member that they may turn with it if occasion be to these junckes also a cloth may be fastned which may be brought under the foot to stay the same up to his due position which is a great ease to the patient and beleeve me if once you be but perfect in this form of Ligature you will never desire a rowler in the Cure of fracture I used rowlers till I saw the fufficiency of this form of binding which now I desire not to change The Cure The third intention is the Cure wherein the inward and outward course of the Cure is to be considered of Touching the regiment of the body concerning sustenance at Sea the Patient need to have it no thinner then the Saylers ordinary and touching medicine let him have the benefit of
of Rubarb as is said in the cure of Diarrhoea or a Decoction of myrabulans and also a good Barly-water the second good help is a Glister which may be proper against sharp If the Patient want rest give him a Glister humors and after to conclude the cure with a dose of Laudanum Paracelsi but if the partie be in great weaknesse and want of rest give him some comfortable glister first next that an Opiate I mean the Landanum one dose you may begin in weak bodies first with Opiate medicines in that there is most need of ease and if you find after rest it help not use a Glister or a purge as you see cause for though the Laudanum at first cure not yet it giveth rest whereby the partie afterwards it is likely will be the stronger to indure cure by other reasosonable The oft repeating of Laudanum râ—quireth this caution medicines which done if that answer not thy desire thou maist return to Laudanum again and again alwayes remembring as is said there be foure houres at the least distance betwixt each dose and if the disease proceed of heat seek to coole the bloud by a decoction of Plantane and cold hearbs or seeds if they be to be had or at Sea with such medicines as are used to quench heat and are not merely sharp and yet Oyle of Vitriol is much commended to be taken certain dayes together in any kinde of distilled waters either Plantane Sorrell Straw-berries or the like whilest the said waters are good and sweet or with Aqua Sparnolae if it be at hand also a Barley water with a little Allum or Galls in powder is singular good so is Bole but the finer the Bole is the better and Terra Sigillata Syrup of Quinces is good also in that case and so are all the medicines Laudanum laude dignum made of sloes after some due evacuation as in thy discretion thou shalt see reasonable but to conclude a dose of Laudanum Opiate is best to finish the work for that goeth before or rather exceedeth all other medicines in fluxes for that swageth all pains and causeth quiet sleep which often even alone is the true perfection of the How to restore the patient very weak by Disentery cure And further if it 〈◊〉 appear that this disease have so gotten the upper hand that the 〈◊〉 is grown very feeble his bloud being wasted appoint him 〈◊〉 that may warm and comfort the stomack namely at land if it may be had Broths of chickins or the like with some Spices therein and Egs and Sugar and a little Rose water but not Honey for that increaseth gripings and cawdles with egs wine and spices according to good discretion will do well if they may be A glister against excoriation had and give him if thou see cause a glister if there be fear of excoriations in the guts namely a decoction of Barley or Bran or of Bran onely with Deer suet â„¥ ij let not your decoction be too slimy of the Bran and adde if you can get it the yolk of one egge for egges comfort much and swage pain the yolk of the egge must be well beaten with the decoction by little and little so taken very warm or if the party have gripings in his guts make this glyster following and for want of Bran take a little wheat flowre and with camomile Centaury Worm-wood St. Johns wort or some of these make a decoction adding A glyster for gripâ—ng through Dysentery also Anniseed Fennel Dill â—or Cummin-seeds or the like or some of these at the least adding after the boyling some two or three spoonfuls of Rosasolis or good Aqua-vitae or some strong cordial waters if you see there be cause to comfort and warm and adding also as is said Deer suet â„¥ ii with wax â„¥ ss Another glyster Also glysters of milk and egges onely are very good to swage gripings and pains where they may be had also as is said warm cloths to the belly and fundament applyed are very good and note still that rest procured is a principal help in curing all fluxes Another glyster For excoriations of the guts make a glyster with a decoction of dry Centaury Hipericon Worm-wood or Balm with barly adding of Deer suet â„¥ ij and a little dried Galls in powder or cut in slices or succus acatiae or Cortices granatorum or dried red roses if you have them or Balausties which are flowers of Pomegranats Note what powders so ever you give in glysters let them be exceeding finely powder'd otherwise they are very dangerous fear not to administer an opiat as I have said provided that there be four or five hours distance of time twixt each dose also you may give a dose of Rubarb namely ℈ ii or Ê’ ss parched and powdered fine for so it doth best taken either alone or with Sanguis prunellorum one small spoonful in wine and a little Cinamon water or in any other convenient drink as the prsent state of the sick shall cause thee or for want of wine beer or water you may give the sicke also conserve of roses or quinces after which if cause be to give rhe Laudanum again you may safely do it Furthermore in this case as also in all kind of fluxes fumigations are very good medicines namely sitting over a close stool provided the sick be very warm kept and not too hot to which purpose a well burned brick heat very hot and put under the stool laying two cold bricks under it for burning the stool and then sprinkle often the hot brick with vinegar if the disease be hot or with vinegar and Aqua vitae mixed if it be cold and for want of bricks some great pieces of old iron will serve as it is already rehearsed also a decoction of cinamon or cloves or both together or nutmegs set under the stool that the warm steam of the spices may come up into the body of the patient is very good Note further that where you fear a flux of the belly may follow that you purge not the party with Coloquintida Trochis de Alhandal Agaricum nor Diagredion And remember ever when you give Rubarb that you give cinamon or ginger or anniseeds a little there with which correcteth the flatuous diposition thereof If this disease of the flux shall shew it self to proceed of any contagiousnesse of the aire as sometimes it doth this is certainly the All diseases proceed from God most fearful of the rest for although all diseases have their original from the hand of the Almighty yet then we have all reason to call to our remembrances the words which the Prophet David speaketh God must be sought unto in the Psalmes whither shall I flie from thee O my God when therefore the aire which we are forced to receive into our bodies shall threaten us then if ever it is high time for Chirurgion and patient to cry
Sect. 4. Another good sign In fluxes of the belly changes of the excrements is a principal good sign unlesse the change be made worser Aph. 14. Sect. 2. In perturbations of the belly and voluntary vomiting if such things are purged thereby that ought to be purged it is good but otherwise the contrary Aph. 25. Sect. Aph. 3 Sect. 4. A Dysentery which proceeds from yellow choler is not altogether mortal as Galen affirmeth in his second book of natural faculties that General rules for the cure of the flux many are cured of it Lientery after Dysentery is mortal these Canons following belong to the particular cure of any flux of the belly No flux of the belly before the fourth day if the Patient be strong is to be restrained The ulcers of the higher intestines are to be cured with medicines taken at the mouth but those of the lower with Glysters chiefly and if ulcers be in both then are they to be cured both waies To such as cure a Dysentery let astringent things be given before other meats that they may the better be retained Hot stiptick things are good in fluxes proceeding of a cold cause And on the contrary if the concocting faculty shall be weak the use of hot things is likewise good If there be a cough with flux of the belly the Patient shall abstain from all sharp stiptick things Sweating medicines and frications with oyl of Camomil and Dill by opening the pores and plucking back the matter to the opposite part are good in fluxes Cupping-glasses saith Avicene applyed four hours to the belly stay the fluxes of the belly All stiptick fruits by the counsel of Avicene are to be avoided in fluxes of the belly notwithstanding Chestnuts hurt not as the same Author affirmeth Sleep among other things is good for a flux and so is any quietnesse and rest good unlesse the flux proceed from some Catarrhe or rheume Touching the particular cure if the disease come of a hot cause let there be a lentive glyster administred before the fourth day which is this â„ž Aqua hordei â„¥ xij Mellis rosati â„¥ ij mingle it and let it be made a Glyster twice reiterating it afterwards let the cholerick matter be purged thus â„ž Rosarum ruâ—earum violarum â— â— â„¥ â— let them boile A glyste onely one walme and in the straining infuse them the space of six hours then add these things â„ž Cortiâ—es mirâ—bal cit â„¥ j. tragac Ê’ij A Purge strain the medicine and let it be so given notwithstanding warily for indeed many of our ancients did abstain altogether from purging medicines in fluxes whereupon Avicene 41 capite 3. saith that it is dangerous to loose the belly upon a former loosenesse If the matter be sanguine and the sick of reasonable strength you may let the lower vein be opened to represse the acrimony of the humour to pluck back and coole the boyling of the liver witnesse Avicena 4 â—rimi chap. 20. Phlebotomy doth bind the belly very much and amongst many is held for a great secret for a certain man of 70. years of age labouring with the Dysenterie the space of a moneth when no other means would help him he was cured by letting of blood yet I confesse my self should not easily do the like If the excrements begin to grow thicker and the gripings begin to cease the token is good if in the excrements scraping as it were of the guts seem to appear it is no token of death I read that the ancients used caustick Glysters of Arsenicum aes vestum Alumen Calx vivum but these later Pysitians use rather astringent and narcotick medicines as these Cortices Thâ—ris Mastiâ—ts Boli Armeniae Sarcocollae and the like The'ulcers of the small guts are worse to receive healing then those of the great guts for the greater are fleshie and therefore they receive consolidation so much the easier The ulcers of Jejunum or the hungry gut are of all the worst because it is smaller then the other and because sharpe choler doth suddenly happen into it iâ— hath more veins in it then the rest and is next to that noble part the liver and further one reason of doubt is for that medicines taken to bind and consolidate cannot long remain therein In the Dysentery what must be refused In the Tenasmus and the Dysentery coming after it the patient must abstain from all sharpe salt and bitter things because by using of such things the excrements become sharpe and cause excoriation Hot things restrain the flux of the belly because they make the meat digest penetrate cause urine and provoke sweat which is found in the drinking moderately of pure wine as Avicâ—ne witnesseth besides that it provokes sleep and helps digestion notwithstanding it is to be abstained from in fevers and when the flux proceeds from hot and cholerick humors A Dysentery proceeding from obstructions will never be cured with Astringent medicines but rather with penetrating medicines by adding a little vinegar which openeth more forcibly then wine and mollisieth obstructions for if Astringent medicines be mingled with deâ—icatives they increase the obstruction Although some say that in the Lienteria the meat taken in doth come forth in the same colour and quantity as it was when it was taken in this notwithstanding is to be understood that the form and colour of it is of necessity changed but it doth not wholly alter it for they are altered somewhat according to the majus minus because it is an impossible thing that the nourishment being conveighed thorow so many intestines should come forth without any alteration at all There are some also which judge the Dysenteria and the Tenasmus by motion of the pulse that the patient hath a fever if the pulse be moved swift yet it seems to me the contrary although there is an over heating or boyling in the blood by reason of the hot humors the great motion of the body want of sleep and abstinence yet with the flux onely stayed the fever hath an end It is formerly said that the ulcers of the great intestines are to be cured with Glysters and the ulcers of the small intestines to be cured with medicines taken at the mouth notwithstanding it profiteth to take fit medicines at the mouth for ulcers of the great intestines and Remedies for Vices in the intestines in ulcers of the small guts to inject glysters which sometimes ascend to both the ventricles as experience teacheth and so also are ulcers in the great guts sometimes cured by medicines taken at the mouth wherefore let no convenient helps be omitted in case of necessity And though Avicena saith it is dangerous to purge the belly upon a loosenesse thereof yet the same Avicena Gerardus Cremo Serapio Jordanus de Turra and other later Physicians of â—ound judgement prescribe in the cure of fluxes Purgative medicines therefore they appoint things according to the patients strength when a
and pleasing to your Patients as much as in true Art may be and cram not the wound too full at any time especially Wounds incised for hindring unition of parts Also if you can conveniently come to the work inlarge not especially Inlarging of Wounds in contused wounds where danger may be feared otherwise doe it warily observing that you doe it not to thwart any member neither any Veine Artery Nerve or Muscle as neare as you can possible Gun-shot wounds over compound No wound of Gun-shot can be said to be a simple wound neither ever was there any Artist that could truely say that he healed any gun-shot wound by the first intention of Vnition without due suppuration no nor any contused wound whatsoever for the composition of Gun-shot wounds are ever real and very substantial witnesse the poore patient where Fibres Nerves Membranes Veines Arteries Bones quid non suffer together so that such wounds in their recency they resemble Vlcers rather then wounds and the differences of these from other contused wounds is That other contused Difference of contused wounds Wounds for the most part suffer but by way of contusion onely and these by contusion and dilaceration if not fraction of bones c. whereby all the whole member suffereth together and also the parts adjacent and that in a high degree If discolouring blistering or other apparent shewes of a Gangrena appeare give the patient a Diaphoreticke cordial then scarify gently at the first and deeply afterwards as cause shall urge and have ready a Lixivium made of water and ashes to the height of an ordinary Lee that women use to drive bucks with and put a reasonable quantity of common Salt into it and when it is cleared if you have hearbs as Scordium wormewood Centaury Hypericon Camomil Melilot or the like or Lupnies make use of them according to Art it will be much the better if not use it without and apply it very warme with stupes often shifted and wrung out and if that cannot be had use salt water for a fomentation very warm rather then want a medicine Aqua vitae is also precious in all Lixiviums against Gangrens but you must boyle the Aqua vitae without errour for the spirits will evaporate and the vertue resteth in them Observe in great lacerated wounds as followeth viz. If you find by the wound the one halfe of the member to be taken away there is no hope to save on the rest but you are rather to make present Amputation Iust cause of amputation especially if the patient upon information of his danger be willing for that the rest is contused and must therefore admit by consequent some losse of substance by suppuration ever in a contused wound and then the remaining part can doe no service to the body but will much indanger the life of the patient by the expence of blood and spirits in the striving to save it and be but a hindrance and I dare say that if but halfe any member be taken away with the fracture of the bone it is impossible to save the rest of it on to do any service If you have haemorrage I mean bleeding or furtive bleeding or weeping of veines or arteries in your worke search for the vein or artery that bleedeth or gleeteth and try if you can make ligature on it if you cannot make ligature which seldome or never you can in Gunshot wounds then apply to the end of the veine that weepeth an actual cautery a small one will serve but apply it like it selfe very hot and apply it not all over the wound onely to that veine if you can that bleedeth you may if the flux be not great use burning hot Egyptiacum upon a button of lint dipt and quickly and neatly brought to the place whilst it is hot and then well boulstred Actual Cautery But a small actual cautery is the safer and maketh better worke or the Surgeon may use restrictive powder adding thereto burnt Vitriol Restrictive Powder a little or burnt allum and precipitate mixed which maketh a strong eskar and often restraineth a great Flux being applied thereon artificially onely precipitate will surely make bones soul in contused wounds for which cause I affect it not To take heed of an old error But ever take heed to avoid the old received error of unwise practitioners whose use is to cram the wounds be they incised wounds or contused wounds as is said ful of bole or restringent powder or some other stuffe and then thrust in pledgents or dorsels into each corner of the wound yea sometimes forgetting to take all out at the next dressing yet think they have done all workman like and very artificially not considering the harm that often ensueth thereby I dare say that in contused wounds of Gunshot by such errors they force and draw a Gangrena if not death thereby by hindering natural unition by obstructing the parts and grieving the patient in keeping the woundded parts from healing It is a safe and fair way at the first dressing ever to strive to joyn together the parts of all recent wounds and unite the wounded parts if it may be with this caution to order that fit breathing be left to evacuate the peccant humours whereof there is small feare in lacerated wounds and then to apply apt and fitting astringent medicaments outwardly over all together with apt and due ligature and by that course to stay a fluxe but in contused and lacerated wounds of Gunshot the Surgion hath not that benefit but must trust to other helps not so ready namely as is said in the lesser wounds to very warme Balmes astringent defensatives and good ligature and in greater wounds to caustick medicaments Cauteries and forcible helps to repel fluxes c. But in the Surgeon his careful desire to restraine fluxes let him ever A Caveat beware of over hard ligature as much as is possible which is also a common dangerous error and certainely draweth on evill accidents as Plegmon Gangrena c. as daily experience telleth Likewise one the other side over-slack binding is also bad due comly and smooth ligature with the due composing the parts wounded with soft and smooth boulstring greatly honoreth the Artist and cureth the patient almost as much as the medicines doe Observe also that you put never one Caustick or Escarotick medicine after another too soone namely not until the first eskarre hath beene gone at the least three daies If in a contused wound of Gunshot any slough or putrid part as proceeding from the heads of the muskets arteries veines or the like appeare in a contused wound which needeth an Escaroticke medicine and the Surgeon doe desire to cleanse that part let him use an artificial Caustick medicine namely hot Egyptiacum or an actual Cautery if you can apply it onely in that place and not all over the wound for in truth the use of them is very good in
contused wounds made by Gunshot and yet Over drying medicines dangerous you are to consider that as too much gleeting weeping or experience of humidity from wounds of gunshot is dangerous many wayes so too much use of drying medicaments in wounds made with Gunshot is no lesse dangerous by stopping the pores and repelling the peccant humours by reason of the contused blood collected being choaked in the wound aptly indangering a Gangrena and other deadly accidents incident thereunto Advise touching the general regiment of wounded men Now a word or two in want of the grave Physician how the young Surgion may in part demean himselfe being put to it for the more happy performance of the cures made with Gunshot which are very much regulated by the government of the Patient touching his dyet as also in the careful keeping his body in temper from much Dyet costivenesse and also to stay in ordinate fluxes thereby to prevent accidents as Feavers c. And further also to meet with an help to cure evill accidents when they happen to the effecting whereof good dyet and other fitting helps are to be wished might attend valiant men which fight for their countries honour and defence which failing much with brave Souldiers and valiant Sea-men at Campe and Ship there the Surgeons must take it as they can have it and make use in necessity of what the Surgeons chest affordeth viz. If the patient before his wound had not a loose body let the Surgeon give him a Suppository or Glyster and if he seem disposed to a fever though he hath bled by his wound yet if his strength be answerable open a veine on the contrary side of Supposiâ—ory or Glyster his griefe but purge him not being wounded without very just cause rather keepe him by gentle meanes to have the benefit of nature either by Glyster or Suppository if once in two dayes hee have not a stoole and further if he be distempered with heat make him a Fresh water oft wanting at Sea Barly-water viz. Water two gallons Barly 6. ounces Liquorish one ounce or juice of Liquorish two dram's boyl it gently a little then cast away the first waters if water be plentiful else not and boyl it in fresh water till one third part be spent and being boyled and clarified to the said decoction add some few drops of oyl Vitriol to make it some what sower in tast but not too much but if to this 6. graines of Confectio Alkermes with one spoonful of Rose-water were added the drinke would be much the more grateful in tast and more profitable I conceive it will be needlesse to urge a course for a sparing dyet for Souldiers or Sea-men at Sea for I feare gluttony will not be their sinne But if fulnesse of body be a hindrance the Surgeon hath meanes to evacuate as for a vomit by Stibium the infusion of 4 graines if such a medicine be thought fitting as in able bodyes may be borne or by laxatives as Confectio Hamech six drams for a dose Diaphenicon or Diacatholicon the dose to an able body is a full ounce Pills The Pills in the Invoyce in this Surgeons chest upon their several occasions one dram is a dose of any sort of them Also of Pulvis Sanctus may be giuen two drams or Pulvis Arthritiâ—ns one dram and if Cordials be required the Surgeon hath in his chest to provoke rest iu Feavers several ones as more particular there is Diascordium which he may give to the ful of two drams for a dose to a strong body either in wine or water as he please or in a Bolus or lump of it self Vse of Laudanum Also he hath Laudanum which he may give safely 3. or 4. graines to asswage pain in painful wounds to give rest in Feavers to stay fluxes and in divers other cases being used with judgment and provided that the party which taketh it be not costive Likewise in fluxes of the belly accompanied with crude nauseousnesse of the stomach as also against venemous or pestilential infection of the blood there is in the chest Phylonium Persicum of which the Patient may take from one scruple to halfe a dram and to one dram safely in a reasonable body and this is a safe medicine which causeth rest and corroborateth the stomach and mightily prevaileth to stay a flux of the belly and doth also correct venemous and maligne humors and is therefore very fit to be used in fluxes that be contagious or pestilential after some fitting evacuation if occasion be What I here write it is of mine owne practice you may take it on my word for truth for you shall find it to be so if with due caution you make use of them These three Cordials as is said asswage pain viz. Diascordium Laudanum and Phylonium or either of them also they serve well to coole or contemperate the blood Cordials to swage pain Of Cordials in general The Surgeons chest containeth also divers other Cordial medicines which may be profitably administred each upon due occasion viz. Confectio Alkermes either given alone or to aromatize any purgative or Cordial medicine from 4. graines to a scruple for a dose Aqua Caelestis and Cinamon water to refresh the spirits halfe a spooneful or a spooneful for a dose and so of Spirit of wine and also Aqua vitae made of wine which so much as containeth of the spirit of wine is quasi spiritus vitae Also the Surgeons chest hath against contagion and the Plague Mithridate Ther. Londinens Diatessar Elect. de Ovo as also Diascord Aurum vitae and Laudanum mentioned all these being proper for pestilential occasions the uses and vertues of which I desire to touch though but in a word And for example if the Surgeon desire a Cordial to be made to cause rest it is made either of Lâ—udanum to three graines or to 4 grains as it is said or Diascordium 2 drams or Phylonium to one dram mentioned And note that Laudanum is best to be taken in a Pill because Noâ—e of his ungrateful tast and Phylonium in a Bolus or lump for the like reason and so also may Diascod be used well and especially in warre where neither the advice of the learned Physitian nor the helpe of the expert Apothecary is at hand but if the Surgeon be occasioned and that he would have Diascor to be given in a potion then let him take of Diascor 1 dram of white wine or fair water 3 ounces or foure of Sirrup of Violets halfe an ounce Confect Alkermes eight graines Oleum Vitrioli gutt quatuor and let the Patient drinke that potion and incline himselfe to rest Cordials comfortive And if a Cordial to comfort the spirits be required then the aforesaid Cinamon water Aqua caelestis or Aqua vitae of wine is at hand without mixture or addition or with some addition halfe a spooneful or a spooneful for a dose

Et quia Cathartica innata sua vi crudelitate Naturam regetivam totius corporis prosternunt qua ob Pest is quoque acuitatem impetum languida infirma est virtus vero hoc tâ—mpore conservanda qua prestrata periclitatur aeger ergo nullum Pharmacum dandum est The precedent Caveat touching purging Medicines Englished is in effect as followeth ONe Petrus Sibyllenius a learned Physician of his time in his Treatise De Peste doth write touching the use of Catharticke or purging Medicines in the case of the Plague as followeth and reciteth his reasons and authority for the same in these words Solutives forbidden in the cure of the Plague Concerning the opinion which some Physicians hold that solutive and purging Medicaments are convenient in the beginning of this most sharp sicknesse the Plague and that the venemous humour is to be driven out of the bodies infected with the Plague by their force and heat The censures of Galen and Avicen by strong arguments are repugnant to their opinions And Hippocrates confirmeth their anthorities in his L b. 4. de Dieta or of Diet which is to be used in sharp sicknesses where he saith when in any sharp sicknesse the opening of a Vein or solutive Medicaments are necessary the Vein is first to be opened And Avensoar in the Lib. 3. de Theisir saith before But in our Climate that Rule is not in gâ—â—â—ral gâ—od but is list to fit occasion and due time any purgation be he would advise that a general evacuation might be made meaning that letting blood is fit to be done And because saith he the use of laxative and purging Medicaments are ill hurtfull and dangerous to the body by reason of many evident cases therefore he likewise condemneth the errour of the unlearned and barbarous Physicians and Mountebanks of his times which would drive away the cause of the disease by violent purging Medicines as namely with Mercurius praecipitate which red powder they call falsly a precious Cathartick or purging Medicine which having a great force of heat in them they do draw forcibly and swiftly both the blood and humours which are in the Veines and do drive them out to the prejudice of Nature by which commission Nature which governeth the body is disabled stupified and beaten down in her endeavour touching her Crisis her working and contending with the poysonous vapours so as for the most part it hapneth that thereupon proceedeth a symptomatical expulsion which is not far from death it self And therefore such Medicines are not fit to be used in the beginning of the sicknesse namely the Plague Moreover all purging Medicaments draw the humours to the inward parts that is from the superficies or outward parts to the centre of the body which is the heart and the effects follow deadly for in venemous diseases the venomeought to be driven from the centre to the outwards therefore Cathartick or purging Medicines being ministred in the beginning of this sicknesse do more hurt then good And in this further is to be added that such purging Medicines as are so strong and sharp are esteemed to be venemous of themselves and there is no venome or poyson to be put to poyson for every such thing as is added to his like as the general Rule saith maketh that more such The Major is proved by Joh. Mesues de consolatione Medicinarum where he saith that all laxative Medicines are of the sort of venemous things whose excesse nature cannot endure therefore in time of the Plague the diseased bodies are not to be made empty by purgations The Office of a Physician seeing that a Physician is called by reason of his office and Learning which he professeth a Minister a keeper and an imitator of Nature The help of Nature in the Plague Nature in the Plague endeavours as much as in her is to expel the venome to the superficies of the body Therefore a Physician ought to follow the tract of Nature according to the Aphorisme of Hippocrates 21. Lib. 1. Aphoris Where Nature aymes his course thither it behoves the Physician to intend his Artificial help A reason of the danger of laxative Medicines And because Cathartick means by their innate force and cruelty do overthrow Nature the ruler of the whole body which also is made weak by reason of the sharpnesse and force of the Plague Nature is to be preserved and no laxative Medicine to be given Of variety of particulars for Brothes to be made for the sick according to mens several abilities or necessities and as the time and place hath to be added more or in part forborn upon each just occasion Of herbs convenient for Brothes ANd first for herbs fittest to be used in Brothes in this disease they are Buglosse Borage Endive Succory Strawberry leaves Marigolds Parsely Betony Violet leaves Sorrel Wood-Sorrel Plantane any of these are very good and so is Rosemary and Tyme so that you take not too much of any of them remembring also for the seasoning and relishing of Brothes as also for Sawce you may safely make use of Sugar Cynamon Currants Citrons Oranges Limons juice of Limons ripe and unripe Grapes preserved Barberries Cherries and Prunes Wine Vineger Verjuice Mace Cloves Nutmegs Saffron and Wine if occasion be to refresh the spirits for as I have said I esteem it far above any the simple waters of hearbs for a Vehicle in the disease of the Plague Necessary meats to be boyled in Broth.

proceeded by inanition that case is pitiful and the cure very doubtful but neverthelesse where it so falleth out all nutritive and comfortative remedies are to be appointed as namely if it proceed of cold either in frost or by want of due and sufficient food consideration is to be had by adding warmth of food and rayment with cordial and comfortive remedies also the Artist must truly inform himself whether this disease be a Gangrene or a Sphacelus whether a partial or a total privation and mortification with the utter losse of the sense of the fleshy and nervous parts and if he find sense in the parts there is life and hope Rulis to be observed if the Gangrene is caused by venomous diseases But suppose a Gangrene proceeds of a venomous cause as many times it doth and namely in time of contagion as of Carbuncles in the Plague the small Pox or by other malignant Feavers when as the Artist may neither purge his Patient nor open a vein safely but with fear except he may be well warranted either by good and grave advice of the expert where such may be had in want of which the Artist ought to search by authority of the most ancient Writers that he can come at for the avoiding of the eminent danger of death to ensue upon his Patient and to go warily in the want of better advice What to be observed if it be caused by fulnessâ— viz. If the grief proceed of fulnesse which seldome it doth at Sea or in Camps then his first rule in Art must be as is said that a thin dyet and cooling be prescribed his Patient and that he be admitted no wine nor strong drink also that he may be appointed some cooling Julep to be made him namely if the Patient be in Ship or Camp he is there confined and constrained to the Surgeons Chest and then let the Surgeon examine his provisions and if he find he have any cooling waters and Syrups fitting thereunto he may proceed to take as followeth A receit to be administred to the Gangrenated â„ž Aq.

The opinion of Celsus concerning Sphacelus lib. 5. that in his time they used to take off the Sphacelated member by cutting the flesh round about unto the bone in the whole part near the rotten or sphacelated part and cutting ever in the live flesh not leaving any of the mortified flesh untaken away further Celsus say Another way of amputation they doth admonish us in this work that the skin and also the flesh be brought and drawn upwards that the bone may be the better covered by some of the said part in the healing of the stump but the same Authour confesseth also that by such abscission causing exceeding pain with over-large effusion of blood and spirits death usually followeth therefore to avoid hemorrage they must presently use actual Cauteries to burn the parts adjacent in which may be conjectured how cruel that course is to the Patient and uncomfortable and prepare the upper part thick enough to be a firm cover to the vessels But after himself not approving that course he saith that he took another way of curing which as he said happily succeeded by which work no profusion of blood hapned because no blood floweth from a mortified part neither is grief moved therein but lest the corruption should spread it self further saith the said Authour I burned the putrefied part remaining every where with red-hot Irons that were heavy and well burnt untill the Patient did feel the heat of the fire and that he suffered some small pain and the rather they did it they write because the same operation is very profitable and therefore burned ever some of the sound flesh also because the putrefaction is best to be drawn out by a red-hot Iron as I suppose saith he which is apparent to the eye for the humours are apparently seen to boyl about the Iron and likewise the weaknesse of the parts considered by burning it is fortified the adjacent parts being freed from many noxious humours thereby so that the weak part receiveth strength and within a few dayes begins to separate the living from the dead part and
