A Great Onion and having made a hole in the top thereof and part of the Onion taken out and filled with Mithridate or Treacle and rosted in embers let it be very warm applyed to the Botch and use it in form of a Cataplasme it is a very exceellent Anodine swaging great pain and proper for the disease to draw forth the venemous humours as also utterly to quench the maligne power thereof I will here conclude touching outward applications in the cure of the Plague having at large elsewhere often recited that concerning all The conclusion of the Treatise the accidents pertaining to that noysome disease of the Plague as Buboes Carbuncles and Blains that the Pestilential Fever being once removed all those symptomes do heal far sooner then any other Boyles or Sores do for the effecting whereof the Reader hath in this Treatise many good soveraign Medicines diverse of them of the Author his own long experience whereon the Surgeon may rely if God please to be merciful to the Patient in adding his blessing to them to the which end let the Surgeon and the sick joyntly together and each for himself call upon God for a blessing upon the means and doubtlesse he will hear and have mercy for in truth Ni Deus addiderit viresque infunderet herbis Quid prodefl ditamus vel panacea juvat The Epilogue or Conclusive part of this Treatise Wherein the Author relateth of his own sufficient experience yet one Antidote more for the whole Cure of the Plague being a Cordial Pouder made of Gold and by him called Aurum vitae whereon by Gods mercy the Patient may rely as upon a safe Antidote A Cordiall Antidote called Aurum vitae THis Medicine at one onely time given taketh away the Pestilentiall Feaver and thereby cureth the Plague that the Patient is oftentimes well the next day it being given upon the first day of the Patients complaint with the observation of certain easie rules hereafter prescribed concerning the order of administring thereof and it is an easie and safe Medicine insomuch that any infant although it suck upon the mothers breasts may safely take it yea and easily may be induced to receive it into the body for that it is of a very small Dose and is without any offence in taste or smell to any also it may safely be given to any woman that is great with childe whereof divers trials have been had with safetie and comfort The Dose of Aurum vitae The dose or quantitie sufficient thereof for a man or woman to take at any one time is but eight grains and by that proportion any discreet person may gather what may be given to any younger person viz. A childe of two full yeares old may safely take two grains and a child at foure or five years old may take three grains and one about eight years old may take foure grains one of foureteen years or thereabouts may take fixe grains and one of eighteen nineteen twentie years old or more may safely take the full of eight grains The effects of it And note that this Medicine performeth its operation onely by Sweat which is the truest and safest way of the enterance upon that Cure for the most part and also it doth it without any moving the body either upwards or downwards namely it causeth no Vomits nor Stooles neither is it at all nauseous to the stomach nor any wayes causing extraordinary thirst nor faintnesse as some yea and most of other Minerall Diaphoreticks doe But on the contrarie the Patient when his sweating is over shall manifestly feele cherefulnesse as being much refreshed thereby with also an abatemant of his pains and his Feaver will utterly be gone at the onely once taking thereof The order in administring of Aurum vitae Neither shall the Patient need to be over-burthened with too many Clothes to force him or her to sweat for the Medicine of it self sufficiently performeth that duty onely he may be ordered to have somewhat more to cover him then the ordinary Coverings he usually lyeth under and the Room likewise ought to be kept very warm with a good fire therein for that cold aire in time of sweating is obnoxtious and dangerous Of the continuance of its vertue And further this Medicine may be kept seven whole years and longer if be for it being truly prepared of Gold is permanent above other medicines and it loseth not his vertue as vegetable Medicines do but as Gold that most excellent Mineral excelleth all other Minerals in price and true value even so doth the truely prepared Medicines thereof as far exceed all other Mineral Medicines in their vertues as well in the preserving and defending mans body from diseases as also in curing their infirmities when by Gods permission they seize upon the bodies of men And whereas other Mineral Diaphoreticks commonly work two wayes at once namely both by Sweat and also by Vomit whereby they firecely distract the Patient and produce fearful symptomes as if Death it self were at hand by the oppressing Nature in too violent expulsions at one time yea often times by a third viz by purging also downward But this most truly safe and easie sweating ●itnesse Hippocrates Lib. 21.
