A11156	The Queenes vvelles That is, a treatise of the nature and vertues of Tunbridge water. Together, with an enumeration of the chiefest diseases, which it is good for, and against which it may be vsed, and the manner and order of taking it. By Lodvvick Rovvzee, Dr. of Physicke, practising at Ashford in Kent.	Rowzee, Lodwick, b. 1586.	1632 (1632)	STC 21426; ESTC S116278	26,141	88

astringent and healing facultie it hath for all inward vlcers and especially for those of the kidneyes and bladder and of the Musculus sphinater which openeth and shutteth the same And in confirmation thereof divers haue bin cured of a bloudy vrine which had long troubled them amongst the rest a worthy Kentish Gentleman with whom I went thither the last yeare It is good also against all inveterate Dysenteries or bloudy Flixes as also all other Fluxes of the belly whether it be Leienteria Diarrhaea or Fluxus hepaticus It doth likewise extinguish all inward inflamations and hot distempers and yet for all that the stomacke is no whit hurt by the actuall coldnesse thereof but rather corroborated and strengthned and appetite provoked yea in some but too much as in my selfe for one For whensoever I dranke either at the Spa or at Tunbridg I was never able to fast with patience vntill noon but must needs offam latranti stomacho offerre cast a bit to my barking stomack before the rest of my company went to dinner For this cause when I was at the Spa a Spanish Physition who was come thither with the yong Prince Doria who was then but a youth would not let him take the water aboue two or three dayes when he saw such an effect in him fearing that he would receiue more hurt by the excesse of his appetite than benefit by the water and so after a long and troublesome journey from Italy thither he returned home without any profit The nerues or sinewes and the originall of them the braine are strengthened by the vse of this water and consequently it is good against the palsie inclination to an apoplexy lethargie and such like diseases of the head And some Paralyticks haue beene seene who sometimes voyded all their water by vrine and at other times were as effectually purged as if they had taken a strong potion and withall sweated aboundantly all their body over All these evacuations and vomitting also are sometimes seene in other diseases as well as in that Nay besides that in some women you shall haue an evacuation by vrine per menses simul haemorrhoidas The cause of all Rheumes and Distillations is likewise remooved by the helpe of this water and all diseases cured which haue their dependencie vpon the same for all that verse of Schola Salernitana Iejunes vigiles sitias sic rheumata cures Convulsions also Head-ach Migraine Vertigo are driven away by the vse of the same if the patient be constant and not too soone weary Against vomitting and the hickot it is vsed with good successe Those that are troubled with hypochondriacall melancholie find a great deale of ease by this water It helpeth also the running of the reines whether it be Gonorrhea simplex or Venerea and the distemper of the Parastatae arising from thence as likewise a certaine carnositie which groweth sometimes in the conduite of the vrine nay and the Poxe also the water having a notable potentiall drying facultie It driveth away besides all manner of wormes whether they be ordinary ones or ascarides or taeniae It may be vsed also for the Gowt but it must be with some caution and the body must be extraordinarily well prepared and purged before because it hath somtimes brought the fit vpon some who were well when they came thither Outwardly applied it doth helpe sore eyes red pimples and other externall infirmities More diseases which haue affinity with these it may be vsed for but I will content my selfe with this enumeration of the aforesaid ones and passe to the time manner and order of taking the water Yet must I not forget in the behalfe of women to tell them that there is nothing better against barrennesse and to make them fruitfull if other good and fitting meanes such as the severall causes shall require be joyned with the water CHAPTER VIII Of the time manner and order of taking Tunbridge Water SOme that shall reade the next foregoing Chapter will perhaps say that I make this water a direct Panpharmacon a remedie for all diseases and therefore wiil giue small credite vnto it But for all that daily experience doth and if it continue to be vsed will more and more confirme what I haue said to be true For very few of those who liue at the Spa whose Water hath great affinitie with that of Tunbridge and in the Country about it and make that Water their ordinary drinke as many doe and my selfe haue seene there very aged people that did never drinke any thing else few of them I say are troubled with headach heart-burning stone obstructions of the kidneyes liver or spleene falling sicknesse the like and as for the Iaundise Dropsie and Scabbes they doe not know what they are My selfe during my stay there being once rid out to take the ayre with a couple of Gentlemen and a showre of raine comming we made to a Countrey house neare hand to shelter our selues and after the taking of a Pipe of Tobacco I requested the goodman of the house who was a very old man and yet fresh and lustie and with very few gray haires to giue vs a cup of his beere but he answered me that he never had had any beere in his house if we would drinke good Pouhon it was at our service and he had a fresh vessell of it abroach Pouhon is the name of that Spring of the Spa which standeth in the middle of the Towne and by the same name they call also the Water thereof But to returne to our matter Temporibus medicina valet data tempore prosunt Et data non apto tempore vina nocent and so water The time then of taking those waters is either the season of the yeare when to come to them or the time of the day when to drinke of the same Concerning the season of the yeare Sommer is the fittest when there is a settled warme and dry weather as in the dog dayes especially Cùm Canis arentes findit hiulcus agros And the chiefest moneths be Iune Iuly Angust and September although the Dutch who naturally loue good Beere and Wine better than Water vse to haue this riming verse in their mouthes Mensibus in quibus R. non debes bibere Water And according as the yeare prooveth a man may sometimes come sooner and continue later In generall whensoever the weather is cleare and dry the water is then best as well in Winter as in Summer yea in hard frostie weather the Water is commonly strongest the antiperistasis of the ayre hindering that there is not so great an evaporation of the minerall spirits of the Water For when the weather is rainy or misty and that Iupiter doth per cribrum mingere pisse through a sieue as Aristophanes merrily speakes the water looseth much of its vertue My selfe haue knowne at the Spa a Friar of the reformed order of Saint Frauncis a good honest temperate man who assured me that having
