A54491	Observations on the venereal disease with the true way of curing the same / by Charles Peter.	Peter, Charles.	1686 (1686)	Wing P1684; ESTC R29390	23,023	85

easily infect the other the common Lacivious way of Kissing doth much adjuvate this way of infecting Children are very subject to be infected this way for by reason the Pores of their Skin being open and apt to attract they are injur'd by an unwholesome Kiss and they being once infected are hard to cure A man who had a large Ulcer in his Throat came to me for help by Gods blessing I cured him his Wife lying in Childbed at the same time and her Breasts being sore I was call'd to give my advice I found her in a Fever and her Niples Ulcerated I call'd for her Child whom I found infected with an Ulcer in the Mouth presently I declar'd them both to be infected with the Pox I will not stand to determine whether the Woman was infected before her delivery and so the Child brought into the World with the Distemper or whether the Father did by kissing infect the Child and so the malignity conveyed to the Mother through the porous body of the Niples but to make good my assertion pray observe the event A Neighbour who was a Nurse coming to visit the Woman whose Breasts was sore and hearing her complain of the tenderness of her Niples she taking up the infected Child kissed it and gave it her Breast she being ignorant of the Distemper the Child sucked her and infected her insomuch that her Lips and Breasts broke out with ulcerous Sores moreouer a little Girl about Eight years old that used to play to the infected Child and often to kiss it was by it infected The Disease is very often got by lactation therefore I do advise those that put their young Children to Nurse to be wary in chusing of Nurses and in like manner Nurses ought to be carefull what and whose Children they take for the Venome is very often communicated from Nurses to Children and as often received by Nurses from them for a very small matter is able to infect either and many Families have been undone by receiving the Venome this way T is not to be imagined how many Children in a year are destroyed in this City by this Distemper though in the Weekly Bills they pass for griping of the Guts or Worms Rickets c. T is dangerous to Sweat in a Bed with one that hath the Pox and young people are often infected this way but pray mistake me not for many will fay they have sain with those that have had it and yet never got any hurt which may be for some Constitutions are so hardy that they will not be easily infected but any man of sense must believe that not only the sweat of Pockey persons but the vapor which may come from them in a Bed must needs be injurious especially having the advantage of heat to open the pores of the Body There be some Writers that do affirm that the breath of a Pockey person is infectious but I think that assertion very ridiculous for experience doth every day confirm the contrary There is a great deal of variety in Bodies some being far more easily infected than other as sanguine and slegmatick persons but are more easily cured than Cholerick or Melancholly persons are and many have known several men to be concerned with one Woman one soon after the other and some to come of without being hurt and the otehr to be dangeroufly Peppered CHAP. III. The signs of the Lues Venerea THe signs of this Distemper are various according to the strength and constitution of the Patient the general signs are these viz. A debility of the whole body as if wearied by much labour which is caused by the infection of the Spirits a stifness of the Joynts but more especially of the Hips and Thighs great pulsation of the Arteries a shooting pain in the Groins pain in the Cod itching about the root of the Yard sharpness of Urine and a pricking pain in erection and flowing of yellow sanies from the Yard oftimes pain in the Back and in the Head these are the infallible signs of a Gonorrhaea some of them hapning to one and some to another and yet I have known all of them to happen to one person and at one time some have other symptomes as the Prepuce and Glans swelling immoderately with great pain or perhaps the Vrethra stopped up with Caruncles the Glans almost covered with Warts sometimes excoriations of the Glans or ulcers on the Glans or Prepuce or both sometimes Buboes do arise in the Groins which if once suppurate and open'd handsomely the Cure is performed with much ease but if they are drove back into the Body they make the Distemper more inveterate seize the Liver and confirm a Pox. Some persons immediately after the receiving of the infection are taken with a giddiness of the Head and most terrible pains in the Eyes and Ears and in most parts of the Body breaking out with small red Pimples which presently return into the Body and a while after break out with foul Scabs some moist and spreading though more generally they are dry and hard and very nearly represent the cup of an Acorn both in shape and colour Some have Ulcers on the body of the Yard some in the Fundament others have large nodes upon the Bones in several parts these are most certain symptomes of the Pox. Note that this Distemper doth vary much in its times many times shewing it self in 1 2 or 3 days sometimes lying hid a Month two or three and sometimes a year or more but it lyeth not idle for the longer it lies hid the more inveterate it proves when once it appears and of times disguised under another name it tyraniseth in the body to the destruction of the Patient I therefore advise all persons that so soon as ever they find themseves touched with this venomous Dart that they straightways repair to such Persons as are able to help them CHAP. IV The dangerous effects of the Lues Venerea TO demonstrate all the effects of this raging Distemper would take up much time therefore as breisly as possible I will acquaint thee how great a Tyrant this Disease is to those People who either scorn to own they have it or those who being a shamed to confess their Condition rather venture to undergoe it that wisely to seek for help I have known some so sordidly foolish that having had Ulcers on the Penis have so long slighted the Disease untill the Penis hath been mortified even unto the Belly upon which insued immediate Death and some escaping with their Lives have lost most part if not all of the Members I have known others to have been almost eaten up by this Disease before they have known so much as the name of their Malady I have seen many Women with large Ulcers in the neck of the Womb which have caused continual pains by corroding of the parts others that have been Ulcerated from the Pubes even to the Anus insomuch that the
