Some mis-pointings and such less obvious Errata are left to the Readers Ingenuity to correct as he finds them AN EPISTOLARY DISCOURSE Concerning the Virtue of Oleum Terebinthinae I Can not forget that at one of the many times I had the happiness to be Worthy Sir in your company in London some other of the Faculty being present there occurred a Discourse concerning Restringent Medicins by which was meant such as are the most celebrated approved and practised to restrain the Homorrhagies of Wounds the Aqua Styptica and Galen's famous Powder together with proper Ligature were preferred to all others After some discourse on this occasion I presumed to offer one which besides its other very many advantages for curing Wounds I had found by many trials the most happy and successful I had ever read heard off or experimented and that was common Oleum Terebinthinae Mr. H making some doubt concerning it constrained me though before such intuitive men to attempt the reason thereof it being indecent to impose on Company things which publick experience had not avowed or my self could not as readily confirm by Sense or Argument as affirm by Narrative it being more modest where things seem improbable though true and not readily verifiable by reason or experience to be silent Wherefore because the circumstances allowed not of present proof by the infallible test of the former I offered by way of the latter what my barren fancy could suggest to me under such discouraging circumstances as were the sudainess of the occasion my unpreparedness and the sagacity of the Company which could not but awe a more resolute undertaker than my self What I offered you seemed particularly pleased with and advised me to make it known to the Publikk Nothing so much as your approbation could have persuaded me to think so well of any thing I there suggested nor ought besides your Commands have induced me to commit to every man's knowledge what hath hitherto lain private in the breasts of a very few but Sir your Judgment ought to be the touchstone of my Reason no less than your Commands the unlocker of my greatest and more secret Arcanum whence the Patient and Practitioner if any advantage accrew to either by this publication become obliged and redevable to you the defects and miscarriages of what kind soever ought only to rest on my account I know it 's too common with many of the Fraternity to slight and contemn all Novel discoveries of this or the like nature thinking that nothing can more effectually secure the bleeding of wounds than Cauteries Deligation or what other ways Education or Custom hath made more familiar and practicable to them but all those men do not consider the direful consequences of some the unsuccessfulness of other such means and methods The intolerable pain of Cauteries whether actual or potential are sufficiently and with good reason inveighed against by Pareus Wurts c. The After-fluxes notwithstanding tying up the Vessels the Crudity and indigestion occasioned by the common Stypticks and Restringents the Fevers Mortifications Convulsions loss of substance ill-shaped Cicatrices and stumps the tedious continuation of Eschars the the large and enervating Synovia's together with a number of other less accidents that are the common and fatal consequences of the usual and most practised ways cannot possibly occur by the use of this Balsam if the Directions herewith given be observed Nor is the securing Hemorrhagies so very trite and easie as some men make it You Sir do well know the contrary and that the death of many a stout Souldier and hardy Seaman too sadly demonstrates that an infallible remedy to staunch the bleeding of Wounds is yet wanting especially such an one as with ease and benignity doth atchieve it that this which I here

Styptica R. often successless even in despicable Hemorrhagies p. 20 Buttons sometimes harmful p. 21 Divers inconveniencies in the thumbing c. A fourth way by clammy things choaking the Vessels is tedious filthy uncertain hazards new Fluxes p. 23 Fifth way by ligation of the Vessel tedious successless incident to after-flux and on some accounts impossible it 's use in other cases p. 24 The Sixth by Sarcoticks what such are they are tedious uncertain filthy perverts the course of Arts intention Galen's powder doth not so restrain Hemorrhagies nor any other Medicine p. 25 Proved de facto the seventh way by revulsion and derivation how performed p. 26 How by Cups they are insignificant how by Frictions p. 27 Which are ineffectual and dangerous how by Ligature p. 28 Their design rational but not compleat a Caution about them p. 29 A particular way of Ligature in Amputations recommended some cautions p. 30 How by Phlebotomy very advantageous in other bleedings but in that of Wounds is partial needless and often mischievous p. 31 Hinders digestion though in some extraordinary circumstances it furthers it p. 32 The Germans reject phlebotomizing of wounded Men it 's improperly and precariously used to prevent Wound-fevers which will occur in despight of monstruous evacuation that way p. 33 Confirmed by observation and illustrated by comparison with the Small-pox p. 34 Wherein the Fever beginning them is proved inevitable and soonest cured by digestives and hot things which Method is also best in Wounds till Coction be made yet with caution p. 35 36 The last way of stopping Hemorrhagies is by closing and uniting the bleeding Vessels by styptick agglutinators it 's not evident the Aqua Styptica so performs it p. 37 Another way mentioned by Pareus and Dr. Read rejected An Objection against the novelty of our Medicine p. 38 Answered in that the old way wrought not the effects so well as ours Many die of the loss of blood not considered or known the other Methods not always nor altogether fallible though not comparable to this p. 39 Divers Phaenomena of Oil of Turpentine and humane blood Exp. 1.

Blood so coagulated is a great Balsam for Wounds p. 44 Other Experiments recommended to trial for the further dilucidating this matter p. 45 Communicated Experiments ought to be tried more than once if they fail p. 46 Oil of Turpentine mechanically proved to stay bleedings by contracting the ends of the Vessels coagulating the blood internally and externally and so uniting them p. 46 47 It's actual heat contributes as doth possibly some adstringing quality known to be in the Tree directions for the choice and use of this Oil. p. 48 Spirit and Oil names promiscuously given it though it be properly an Oil because unctuous some differences therein p. 49 When the hottest is to be preferred p. 50 The Medicine often adulterate the Guaranty of the Apothecaries Hall some encouragement for future confidence in Chymical Remedies This must be used hot the ways of preventing it from kindling both at Sea and Land p. 51 52 Ligature and Defensatives must be used therewith it usually doth its work at once though some circumstances may require its repetition p. 53 It may be applyed any where save near the Eye and the Breast if an Inslammation be concomitant p. 54 Otherwise is very proper being pectoral pulmonick proved from good Authors how to be used to stumps of the Thigh c. Stabs p. 55 Vsed to a hot or to a cholerick habit it vesicates but innocently p. 56 When the oldest Oil is to be preferred p. 57 The other Vertues thereof with respect to Wounds It stops the Synovia the advantages thereby acrewed it 's the best curer of punctured Nerves p. 58 59 It excellently digests without the attraction other applications of that nature make the benefit thereof An Objection p. 60 How the Medicine can restrain Hemorrhagies and yet digesteth p. 61 It 's the best Balm for wounded Nerves no Wound can be made without hurting their Genus p. 62 It contracts Wounds prevents their expansion without the inconveniency of other applications It healeth Punctures and incised Wounds by sympathy An Objection about the incongruity of a digestive and consolidative quality answered the Magnetick Vnguent and sympathetick Powder mistaken how Consolidatives cure p. 64 This Medicine effects those ends without the symptomes attending the other Methods p. 65 The pertinency of confirming Theories by Experiments and observations divers Observations proving the Vertue of Ol.

recommend though I affirm not its infallibility merits the precedency of all yet known and consequently ought to have the esteem of every Artist will I hope appear from the following Reasons and Observations the latter of which every ingenious Professor may confirm and improve as he hath occasion and opportunity Give me leave Sir after I have begged pardon for the presumption of this Address to which I became inclined and encouraged by your favourable thoughts of the more imperfect account I gave thereof and on consideration of the fitness such discoveries have for your approbation and notice as being deservedly the general superintendent of those for whom it 's designed and consequently the most pertinent and proper hand by which it could be conveyed to their knowledge or recommended to their practice and consideration to manage my design and discourse in this order and method First To relate the several operations methods and medicaments which are most usually practised to stop or restrain Hemorrhagies and therein to take occasion to reflect on some the most inartificial and successless and to reject them Secondly To endeavour to demonstrate how our Oil of Turpentine doth perform it Thirdly To give some directions to be observed in the use choice and application thereof Fourthly To demonstrate the other adventitious benefits acquired to Wounds besides restraining the bleeding by means of this Balsam Fifthly To illustrate and confirm the truth of all de facto by relating several observations wherein it proved successful And lastly to relate the very many other medicinal Vertues of this Oil both as internally administred or externally applied The ways in general by which the Hemorrhagies of Veins and Arteries are stopped are reducible to these several right distinctions The first is by stagnating the blood in the extream parts and allaying its briskness and motion in the larger Vessels which is atchieved by immersing the body in cold water or wrapping it in sheets moist with Posca or administring Opiat medicines or other such whose cold quality fixeth the bloud or slackens its circulation Such are Sal Prunella aq Sperm Ranarum c. against all which I have this to Object First That it 's a great retarder of digestion for whatever cooleth and allayeth fermentation hinders maturation this I speak of it when used to that degree it ought to effect the aforesaid design not that I would wholly even in the most sedate temper omit the use of moderate Julaps or sometimes a slight Hypnotick to asswage pain and procure rest nor on the other hand would I use them too liberally as they frequently are and that because as I have said they are so great an Impediment to the ground-work of healing large Wounds nor do I only dislike their use where they pretend to stop Fluxes but as commonly they are designed also to prevent and cure the symptomatical Fevers usually attending green Wounds for that Fever is not only necessary but inevitable and that because it 's usually both the effect and pardon the Solecism the cause also of digestion as hath been long since intimated to us by Hipocrates and * Lib. 47. cap. 2. in Hipp. praedict l. 1. c. 13. Galen Therefore where vehement symptoms make such Medicines necessary I would recommend the mixture of such ingredients as may also promote the Coction by which the Fever shall be more allayed than by the cold anodyne things This in Julaps is easily done by cocting in them saffron figs c. or the good old Prisan-drink of Hordeum and Liquoris Secondly This way is defective imperfect fallible and of it self unable to answer the designed intention or at best but a cojuvant Remedy only quieting the motion of the bloud while more secure ways of stopping the mouths of the Vessels may be made use of compleatly to effect it Thirdly By the use of Medicines highly cold whether actually or potentially so without which this design pretends not to be effected the nervous genus may become insured whereby the common attendants of large Wounds Palsie Convulsion Spasms Nummedness and Insensation may be occasioned Fourthly The immersing the Body in cold water or the inclosing it in Linnen wet with Water and Vinegar whatever advantage they may procure pro tempore their after-effects are like to be very mischievous and contrary to the design of their use and that is provoking an after-flux either by begetting heats or a feverish motion in the bloud which it accendeth as other colds do that is to say nothing of the doctrine of Antiperistasis by shutting the pores of the skin whereby the various recrements that used to transpire that way being pent up regurgitate which Nature endeavouring to separate and reject by a febrile fermentation the bloud becomes inflamed as is evident in Agues the great heat in the hands and feet and toes and fingers and often Phlegmons for such are Kibes and Chilblains on them both after great cold and handling Snow or by separating the serous parts thereof and so a * D. Lower de orig Catarrh Catarrh Cough c. is occasioned which begets such a saltation in the bloud that except the wounded Vessels be well secured it will very aptly break bounds this is manifest in Phlebotomy where it 's frequent to put the Patient a Coughing to make him bleed I once had a near Relation who to stop an Hemorrhage lapped his naked body in moistned Sheets but it begat a fatal Metaptosis or commutation for such a Catarrh ensued as dwindled away his life by a five months Consumption wherefore even in Hemoptysis or spitting of bloud from the Anastomosis of a Vessel either in the lungs stomach spleen c. It must be of hazardous use in which cases though perhaps Opiats and other coolers and thickeners may have been successful yet doth it not invalidate my objections against their use in bleeding of Wounds because first no digestion being required in internal bleedings as there is in Wounds one great Objection against it is unconcerned Secondly Internal bleedings are incapable of local applications so that of necessity those must be used for being the less mischievous become the most convenient Thirdly Internal bleedings are not so apt to be accompanied with Convulsions Palsies c. as are Wounds and lacerations of the nervous parts whereby another great inconveniency in their use is taken away Fourthly Internal bleedings frequently proceed from redundancy thinness sharpness heat fermentation or the like ill temper of the bloud by which it breaks through some of the smaller Vessels and that sometimes with innocence and great advantage as * Acta med philos Hafniensia num 73.
