vp into the nose Oyle of Tiles or Brickes called Oleum Philosophorum THis oile is worthy for her vertues sake that it should be here described for it is not onely good for the lost smelling but also for all cold sicknesses for it is warme and piercing it consumeth all though moisture of the members and expelleth all swelling it is also very good against the falling sicknesse swimming of the head the dead palsie losse of memory crampe and paine of the backe and against all manner of goutes it is also highly commended in all diseases of the milt the bladder and of the kidneyes in all vlcers lepry scals and fresh wounds This oile is made as hereafter followeth Take a very old Tile or Bricke beate it in péeces as big as Walnuts make it glowing hot cast one peece after another in old Sallad oyle leaue them therein so long vntill they be well soked through with the oile afterwards beate them to fine powder and put them in a glasse helme the which is cleane ouer well luted lute also the helme and the recipient afterward distill it in sand or ashes but first with a mild fire augmenting the same a little the oile which commeth out of it preserue it well stopt The ninth Chapter Of the Eares THere be more parts of the face to wit the Eares in truth precious and necessary members the which nature hath ordained as instruments for receiuers and iudges of the voice and their noise whereof as well men as beasts haue alwayes twaine on each side of the head one that alwayes stand open because that as well sleeping as waking we haue néed of hearing They be also outwardly shapen with diuers crooked entrances to the end they may receiue much aire and noise might retaine and discerne the same the longer which crooked wayes are also meet for this that there may not easily fall any thing therein which otherwise might befall if the entrance were right out whereto is alwayes the moistnes in the entrance of the eares which we cal the waxe of the eares and is as it were birdlime to the end that the smal flies fleas and other such like that would otherwhiles creepe into the eares might be first stayd therin It is also very seldome seene that men can stir their eares the which neuerthelesse is seene in all fourefooted beasts The eares are also subiect to many kind of diseases the which are diuided by the learned into three principall kinds The first is when any one is wholy and throughly bereft of his hearing the which we call with one word deafnesse The second is when the hearing is diminished or weakened like as when one heareth not but when one calleth alowd to him The third kind is when the hearing only is lost or altered like as one thinketh that he heareth one pipe sing rush or any thing else the which in truth is not so But of this and of other moe that concerne the eares we will write thereof more at large The causes which may hurt both these are almost incurable some be naturall some also through some outward and inward accidents to wit as to come out of too hot or too cold ayre sudden alteration of cold or heate from warme water to cold water or any thing else that might come into the eares as thrusting falling striking wounds beasts that may créepe therein vnslackt lime c. In like maner also disturbance of the braines of the head and of the whole body rheumes of the head and chiefly cold toothach paine of the sinewes and of other members which do touch the hearing or impostumations swellings and wormes that do grow in the eares All these and other moe haue their speciall signes If the deafnesse or diminishing of the hearing procéed of outward causes the same may be well demaunded of the patient Doth it come from the braines then will also the sight smelling and especially the tast be annoyed If it be caused through hot impostumes or swelling of the sinewes then is there intolerable paine panting trembling and some frensie with it yea hot agues and lastly death it selfe if so be that there be not some good aduise taken for it in time If it be caused through cold humors there is then impostumation and cold alwayes about the same places Be winds the causes then is there alwayes some sissing with it Impostumations do yéeld matter wormes may be perceiued by their stirring or rumbling and if otherwhiles one fall out what now concerneth the description of their remedies our beginning shall be first of all of the paine of the eares and afterwards of all other infirmities of the eares Paine of the Eares in generall §. 1. FIrst it is herein to be noted that the paine of the eares is not rightly nor properly spoken for that which toucheth the outward part of the eare the same can suffer no great paine and although the paine were great yet is there no danger of life with it for that they be no principall members of the life neuerthelesse this is wont to be called the paine in the eares which is within the head and in the instruments of the hearing as in the sinewes of the hearing which are néere vnto the braines and are knit therewith of which intolerable paine deadly agues and frensies do procéed Therefore we will here expresse sundry remedies for the strengthening and cleansing of the braines from whence these terrible accidents do come like as already hath bene done in the description of the head in the first and second Chapter and more yet where we haue discoursed of the pose or murre that for this are especially these following gentle cleansings of the head commaunded to be vsed Take two ounces of Marioram gentle white wine one ounce the séeds of Licebane Piretrum of each one scrup temper it and drop it into the eares such cleansing of the head is not to be spared as long as the paine of the eares or head endureth Or when he perceiueth that it will come againe it is forthwith to be preuented and cut off but if the paine get the vpper hand which is caused through blood the which the red and swolne face with beating of the braines doth shew then is the head veine on the same side where the paine is to be opened that the matter may be drawne downewards If there run any choler amongst it then may the same be purged with yellow Mirobalans sower Dates sirupe of Roses Cassia de Succo Rosarum After both these remedies following or one of both are to be vsed outwardly Take oile of Roses of Willow leaues of each a like much temper a litle vineger amongst it and drop it lukewarme in the eares Or take warme womans milke like as it cometh from the breast and dropt it oftentimes therein Both of them do slacke the heate and asswage the paine For this is also good the braied white of an egge tempered with a little oile of Violets

which is ordained by nature therewith to moisten the Hart that through his continuall stirring it should not be so sore dried Likewise it hath otherwhiles a thick fleshie skin which lieth round about the hart and sometimes waxeth almost as hard as a bone the which the Grecians call Pericardion and we the closet of the hart and hath such moisture in it like as it were vrine yea otherwhiles like as it were with a swéete deaw And when as this moysture commeth to drie vp like as it happeneth in them that consume or liue in great sorrow then must death follow after it Like as to the contrarie doth come to passe when there is too much of this foresaid moisture that thereby is caused the panting of the Hart and distemperature of the vitall spirits It were here too long to rehearse all the signes of a hot cold drie and moyst Hart or of a cold and drie hot and moyst cold and moyst or hot and drie all the which are intemperatures or Intemperies of which is spoken in the first part and 1. § We will also touching this recommend the Reader to Galen who hath at large discoursed of these Intemperies But I must adioyne thereto thrée things which concerne the hart whereof the hart of them that dyed of Cardiaca or swouning or their harts that dyed through poyson cannot be burnt Secondly the foolish fantasie of the Egyptians that were of opinion that mens harts do euery yeare augment one quarter of an ounce and that during fiftie yeares and that afterwards from yeare to yeare it did abate as much againe which was the cause that men could not liue aboue one hundreth yeares Thirdly that the heathen of their offred beasts and also Iulianus the Emperour that fell from Christ do maruellously seduce people and perswade that all things to come may thereby be knowne whereof we will speake no more at this present We will now procéede with our intent and treate of all the diseases and accidents of the hart and do teach thereby how the same are to be holpen and cured And albeit touching this there be many maladies and accidents described by the learned yet we wil neuertheles briefely rehearse only of the faintnes of the heart of whatsoeuer cause that it may procéede as swouning quaking and panting be it through heate or cold amongst which may be contayned all accidents and maladies which are incident vnto the hart and lastly adde thereto of the maladie which is commonly called the griping of the hart Of the fainting of the Hart in generall §. 1. EVen as the Hart is the most principall and pretious part of the bodie so doth the same declare that there is the more care and prouidence to be had for to auoyd and take away his maladies for to cure all that which hurteth it and to preferre all that helpeth and to obtaine the same thus do the learned write these common rules hereafter following First that with expedition some good meanes and counsell be vsed and had against all that might happen vnto the hart for to expell the matter which is cause thereof for that there is no part of the body which may tollerate lesse delay of helpe Secondly for other members which haue any disease there one thing is commaunded another forbidden so that thereby no hurt might happen which neuertheles is not so duly obserued as whensoeuer is giuen to one that hath the Ague Wine or Flesh which notwithstanding is clerely forbidden but this must be more strictly obserued in the infirmities of the hart by reason that it is much more néedfull for to strengthen the same as can be best and to comfort it Thirdly if any member be by nature hote and yet there striketh more heate vnto it then must a great cooling be vsed but one may not do so to the hart whereto lesse or smaller things be vsed neither yet to delay it so long before you séeke remedie to cure it as shall be hereafter declared in the eight and ninth instructions Fourthly the parts that are helpers of the motions and actions of the whole bodie must not at any hand be touched with any strong purgation so that thereby the same parts and consequently the whole body be not ouerweakened the which must so be obserued in the hart by reason that the same doth procure all actions of the whole bodie Fiftly for that the diseases of the hart are caused for the most part of bloud and winde therefore is Phlebotomy much better for it then purging but if the maladie procéede of bloud then must the Liuer veine be opened on the right side if of winde then is the Liuer veine on the left side to be opened Sixtly if that purging medicines must néedes be vsed then is there alwayes to be put thereto that which may comfort the hart as hereafter shal be taught thereby to strengthen the same and to preserue it by reason that all purging m●dicines are not a little contrary to the hart Seuenthly it must be narrowly looked vnto what part of mans bodie doth send these humors towards the hart causeth this maladie for to make readie the purgation accordingly and to adde the cordiall things vnto it as hath béene sayd Eightly if that the Hart haue gotten a bad hot complexion that the same must be cooled then is to be tempered amongst the cooling medicines some warming things for if nothing but only cold things were vsed then might perchance the naturall heate be quenched and the patient killed Ninthly the cause of this mixture of cold and warme things is for that cold things are commonly of no force or power without the help of warme things to penetrate to the Hart. As for example the Saffron is therefore added to the Trociscos de Camphora For that all which shall here afterwards be written of the maladie of the Hart is no other thing but a faintnes whereof the one is greater and the other lesser than another like as Lipothymia and Syncope it is néedfull to write of their differences Lipothymia is a swouning or defect of minde which sometimes is but small and sometimes great and is soone ended contrarywise Syncope commeth suddenly vpon one and that with such vehemencie that he can neither féele sée nor heare so that betwéene death and him there is no other difference then that as yet he hath some breath Notwithstanding is the Lipothymia not so little to be regarded but that spéedily helpe must be had for it for that it may quickly turne into Syncope But before all things shall euery one know that both these tremblings of the heart haue so great acquaintance with the panting of the hart that many Phisitions haue comprehended them vnder one title as the remedies described euery where do testifie the same but that they haue made many necessarie differences betweene hote and cold swounings and first to write of the foresaid small swouning or defect of minde which taketh one vnawares

therefore are these things following to be vsed which do strengthen and warme the hart as Balme Burrage Rosemary Basill Penniroyall Marierom Wormewood and specially marrish Mints Of rootes Cipers rootes Zeduary Costus Ginger Elecampane rootes both the Béetes rootes and Doronicum Of seedes Ameos Smallage seede Annis seede Of Spices Cardamome Nutmegs Lignum Aloe Saffron Cucubes Cloues Item take Muscus Ambra Harts bones Citron pils Mastick Myrrhe Blattae Byzantiae good and pleasant tasting Wine Item take these warming confections following as Diamargariton Calidum Diacinamomum Diapliris Laetificans Dia Moschu Diambra Aromaticum Rosatum which is of a temperate nature Treacle Mithridate confected Citron pils confected Elecampane rootes and other things moe that do follow afterwards These things are of a temperate nature as Iacint Smaragdes Saphirs Rubies Perles Corrall Gold Siluer Amber Mirobalanes Bellerici Buglosse silke wormes nests burnt Iuorie Barberies Tormentill Harts bones and Saffron To coole the hart take Melon séede Pompeon séede Cucumber séede Gourd seede the seedes of Fleawort Sorrell séede prepared Coriander Pomgranats Lymons Citrons and their iuice Quinces sowre Apples Peares Raspes new and dry Prunes and all pleasant sauouring fruites water Lilly floures the iuice of the Vyne Vineger Roses Violets shauen and burnt Iuorie all kinde of Saunders Amber and sealed earth Of compounds is the confection of Diarrhodon Abbatis Triasantalon Manus Christi with Perles Diamargariton frigidum Trocisci de Camfora conserue of Roses of Violets Sirupe of Raspes Lymons Violets Roses water Lillyes Vineger and Oxysacchara and all that you shall finde written hereafter Moreouer there are hereafter set downe diuers confections that comfort the hart in heate and cold The order of life or diet for this faintnes of the Hart. A Bad stomacke is otherwhiles no small cause of this swouning for it procureth before the swouning come a heate ouer the whole bodie As soone as this shall be perceiued it is not amisse to vse for it confected Balsam wood but in the stead thereof take Tabulates of Xyloaloe which are very requisite for this Secondly he is to take euery morning one dragme of fine Treacle which must be twelue yéeres old with Rose water of the confection of Muscus Diamoschu dulcis he is to drinke of it oftentimes with Basill water one quarter of an ounce at a time but that which concerneth the stomack shall follow hereafter Fourthly this patient is to haue hanging about his neck a good Smaragde stone or at the least selected Corrall Fiftly take one dragme and a halfe of Rose buds which are not fully blowen Vine leaues red and white Behen floures and séedes of Basill barke of Frankinsence Marierom gentle of each one dragme Balme one dragme and a halfe Camfer one scruple Amber halfe a scruple Muske two graines each beaten by it selfe and being bounden in a péece of silke are to be smelt vnto oftentimes but if the faintnes be not holpen thereby and that it be feared that he will be more fainter then must those things be vsed against the swouning that are described hereafter But for the first you are to vse these cordiall waters and plaisters following Take Balme water twelue ounces Rose water Violet water the water of Willow leaues and of wilde Vine leaues of each sixe ounces burnt Iuorie Roses red and white Saunders Harts bones seeds and leaues of Basill of each two scruples Muske two graines Amber fiue graines Muscadell two ounces let all these séethe togither about one quarter of an hower except the Muske and Amber make then a péece of red Scarlet cloth wet therein one quarter of a yard square wring it warme out and lay it fower or fiue times in an hower vpon the hart A spoonge may also be laid in this water and smelt vnto oftentimes for both of them do maruellously comfort the Hart. If so be that the swouning doth not yet cease then take two ounces of this foresaid powder and temper amongst it as much Barly meale one scruple of Saffron and séeth it with good old wine vntill it be reasonable thick temper it well in a morter with foure leaues of beaten gold and one dragme of prepared Pearles spread these vpon a péece of red Scarlet cloth and then lay it on the left breast This is approoued to be maruellous good and to haue sometimes holpen such a griefe within one quarter of an hower and sustained the sicke person by his strength Of Syncope the great Swouning §. 2. THe second and sorest swouning of the Hart is called Syncope and is thus described Syncope is a distraction of all féeling and stirring of the whole body with extreme faintnes Amongst many other inward causes whereof are these receiuing of any pestilent or other stinking aire whether it be in time of the plague or of the stench of any hollow caues or of the byting of any venemous beasts as of Scorpions mad dogs and venemous fumes of mettals like as in the melting often happeneth of great feare and frighting of former diseases as of the dead palsie the pleurisie inflammation of the lights suffocation of the mother of wormes of ouer-watchings of many laskes of much bléeding of great hunger of much smarting of great paine yea also of great ioy other strong motions of the minde So that this great swouning hath great familiaritie with the dead palsie albeit there be a difference whereof we are to speake If any get the palsie then remaineth his face by good semblance but in this swouning it is like to a dead bodie For in this swouning all the blood runneth towards the Hart so that the patient remaineth without any feeling and in such an estate that no man can tell whether he be dead or liuing so that there is a common prouerbe of it That such dead men ought not to be buried in thrée daies Secondly they are like one to the other in that neither breath nor pulse is perceiued Thirdly in the palsie the patient féeleth before a heauinesse in the head but not in the Syncope neuerthelesse they accord in this that the affected partie lieth as though he were dead But in this swouning it is certaine if it come after a long panting of the hart and continueth long then it is a messenger of death and chiefly if there be Ellebor blowen into the patients nose and it doth not stir and mooue him at all The signes of the swouning to come of what cause soeuer it be prouoked are sweating and panting of the Hart a slowe and feeble pulse bleaknes of the lips and face chilnesse of the outward members numnesse of the sense of féeling and moouing where these signes appéere there a strong swouning draweth néere and there is néede of good counsell First and with spéede when the swouning approcheth or is extant then is the patient to be spouted in the face with Rose water or if that be not ready to be had with cold Well water and it will be the better if there be a little
