A67812	Medicaster medicatus, or, A remedy for the itch of scribling. The first part written by a country practitioner in a letter to one of the town, and by him prefaced and published for cure of John Brown, one of His late Majesties ordinary chyrurgeons, containing an account of that vain plagiary and remarks on his several writings : wherein his many thefts, contradictions, absurdities gross errors, ignorance, and mistakes are displayed and divers vulgar errors in cyrurgery and anatomy refuted / by James Young.	Yonge, James, 1647-1721.	1685 (1685)	Wing Y40; ESTC R27595	92,013	244

Patient hath not been long out of my hands who had a large Rima reaching from the Sagital suture to the Squamosa by a fall from a very high place and the Skin not broken nor any Tumor appeared Page 157. He gives us another instance of his Falshood in a misrepresenting what he steals or borrows from others for altho' that be his Trade his own Stock being beggarly and empty affording nothing yet the constancy of the practice hath not made him a Proficient therein the story is from A. Pary * Lib. 10. c. 7. who saith the os coronale was cut off the length and bredth of three Fingers The Plagiary saith the bredth only of three Fingers in the original it is said to be done by a sharp Sword in the transcript by along and a strong Sword the Author doth not say as the Bathyllus that he fell with his Face to the ground that the Dura mater was hurt or out of its place upon the cutis of his Face that he was compelled by necessity to take away any of the pericranie or Scull used Tents or Dossils nor that the Body was stab'd through in divers places Thus he shews himself so great a stranger to truth and sense that he is no less able to copy them fairly and truly relate them from others than produce any of his own to say the Dura mater fell on the cutis of a mans Face was never spoke like a man of truth or Surgery He fetcheth almost all his Prognosticks from the Ancient Writers who were Strangers to the cure of those Wounds and diseases that are now frequent this is one cause why he falls into so many errors when he comes to Presages as I shall have occasion elsewhere to observe At present I will single out only one and that the most likely to be true as having much reason and agreeing with the common Phaenomna the sense of former Ages and opinion of most men in this viz. That Wounds of the Heart are absolutely mortal and incurable This noble Intral seems the only part of the Body which being hurt brings inevitable death for reasons which our Author hath stolen from Fallopius and Read it s in his 60th Chapter that he treats on this subject and he doth it with his wonted preface of Anatomy and usual absurd incoherent way of expression the errors of the former are too manifest and obvious the fantastical chimera's and whimseys which nor he or any other man can make intelligible the false notions and descriptions are no less plain having been long since refelled by many accurate Anatomists the Position how strong soever backt which I shall refute stands thus Page 273 The Heart being once hurt brings present death I will not take hurt in the largest sense but strictly as I believe he meant viz. Wounded the same Prognostick is almost in the same words and with the like assurance delivered by Hippocrates Aristotle Pliny Aegineta and the many Ancient Writers both of Physick and Philosophy Cor nullam fert continuitatis separationem Or for the sake of a little Poetry take it in verse Afferat ipse licet sacras Epidaurius herbas Sanabit nullá vulnera cordis ope Ovid. 1. de Pont. 4.

Brut. cap. 9. I should commend his giving us a bit now and than from a fresh Author if he did not so harsh and tincture them with the ill savour of the stale ones and dress them in the old modes for in the few places where we have this rarity it s so mishapen and deformed that a man of no uncommon intuition would be apt to be imposed on In the story before us he shews himself scandalously impertinent in treating of a Palsy proceeding from an outward accident to serve us with an instance as wide from the purpose as his translation is from the original What relation hath a Palsy Convulsion delirium c. From Ebriety to do what a Palsy Symptomatical to a wound that his skill in Latin is as little as in writing Books so his translating this impertinent story Iuvenis a young Gentleman post lautiorem coenam vini potum immoderatiorem after eating a large supper DID drink very plentifully of wine ut chicotheca quam forte tenebat in voluntarie exciderit So that the glove which did COVER his hand did involuntarily fall off medico peritissimo a worthy Physician modo in delirium modo in convulsiones aliasque Spiritum Animalium distractiones subin●● incidens falling into a delirium an● AFTERWARD into a Convulsion he was within a short while force● to shut up his last minute his Spirit● being dissolved Capite Aperto his dead CORPS being opened Corpus unu● Straitum Comprimente comprssing one straited body Hss eleventh Chapter is of Convulsions the two first Paragraphs of which are of the old leven what there is like notion or distinction is stoln from the same Authors only one from Celsus but where he doth not say is falsly delivered at first by Doctor Read and from him by our Plagiary who doth bring him in for the ninth Convulsion viz Spasmus Cynicus whereas * lib. 4. cap. 3. Celsus when he treats of those diseases reckons only the three usual distinctions viz. Emprosthotonos Opisthotonos and Tetanos What he saith of Spasmus Cynicus is in another Chapter I beg you to consider by comparing our scriblers quotation and Celsus his discourse how well he understands the Books he quotes whether Read rather than Celsus ought not to have been called the Author of the causes and me●hod of cure which he there sets ●own the former being plainly also 〈◊〉 * lib. 9. cap. 9.

Willis His discourse endeavouring to shew how Plethora begets Convulsions is very inartificial and ridiculous for he saith the nervs being filled with purulent matter or other excrements generated either in the wounded part or sent thither from others and so sucked up by the nerves as it happens I want patience to pursue this most absurd way of talk it s certainly his own for though the Ancients had very odd notions of those things I never met any so void of sense as this Fr. Sylvius was inraged at the more agreeable reasoning of A. Pary Nov.

The first history he stole from Skenkius Page 49 Being of a man overfilled with wine so that by a general opinion he was reputed in toxicated pray mark the elegancy and Tautologie who lying on his back in a Coach never spake more but dyed of a Convulsion This story is originally in P. Forestus Schol. obs chir 27. lib. 9. but as much disfigured by the translation as the Patient was by the disease or death and not less impertinent here Discoursing of Convulsion by inanition he sets down amethod stoln from Pareus and Read His quotation from Dovinaetus of a man 50 years old who falling into a Convulsion and SYNCOPE occasioned by a GREAT EFFUSION OF BLOUD was perfectly cured by cupping Glasses and PHLEBOTOMY is very strange and if truth looks as little like it as any story I have met with so positively affirmed That from Platerus of a Maid shot into the Back-bone which I cannot find in the place the points to * Obs lib. 1. fol. 120. nor any where else in that Book though mine be of the best Edition having no Convulsive Symptom but a

Tereb Venet. â„¥ iss as a Salve Agglutinative and repelling humors Page 28. He saith wounds do only then inflame when they do not suppurate yet Page 49. He saith pain and heat do attend the part while digestion is performing and inflammation encreaseth while matter is making Page 136. He reflects on those who divide the Art into many parts When he himself is not only guilty of all the superfluous mincing extant but exceeded them in giving two Chapters for one subject tho' the Title be somewhat diversifyed See Chap. 60 61. Page 134. He saith if a Feaver happen on Wounds of the Head before the fourteenth day it s a deadly sign And in the very next period makes the like danger to attend such to which a Feaver supervenes after that time Page 129. He saith Childrens Heads wounded are not so apt for Putrifaction and Page 137. A more speedy purulency of matter happens in them than in Persons of age and to strengthen the contradiction beyond all excuse he gives the same reason for the one that he doth for the other viz. Heat and moisture making it in the one the cause why Putrifaction and digestion is tedious and in the other more speedy and quick Page 160. His Doctrine and advise in the first paragraph is not only very inartificial and absurd but contradicted in the next and the subsequent story Page 273 275 c. He calls the Heart the principle of Life the Prince of the Bowels the chief Engine and yet Page 178. He saith that the Brain is the principal Part. Page 186. He absurdly affirms That Putrifaction and Sphacelus of the Brain are deadly Symptomes not to be found out by the opening of the Scull after the Party be dead and immediately gainsaith it by an instance from Volch Coiterus stoln from Skenckius Page 24 of many dissections where more than half the Brain was putrifyed the Ventricles full of foetid green matter and in the cerebellum very putrid Aposthumes Page 188. He forbids the use of cooling astringent things to the Head in concussions of the Brain Not only contrary to almost all Authors but his immediate direction of a Cataplasm of that temper and quality he saith the same Page restringents are not to be used because they hinder the exhalation of the fuliginous Vapors through the sutures And in the very Page not only directs to the use of Repulsives and to have them continued the first four days but a Fomentation and a Plaister stoln from A Pary lib. 10 cap. 22. which are both of them binding or restrictive as you may see by the Ingredients Orris Lalam Aromaticus Red-Roses Frankincense Mastick Red Wine Myrtils Cypres-nuts c. Page 200. He Apologizeth for the use of Oil in wounds of the Nerves because a moist Medicine And immediately urgeth with the same Zeal and heat of Argument that use of dry things for the same purpose Page 254. He reckons very erroneously extrusion of the airthrough wounds of the Breast as a constant sign of Penetration And in the same Chapter gives a story to the contrary Page 256. He directs to the use of Vinegar to discuss and dissolve Blood cast into the Breast from a Wound so as it may be expectorated And yet in the next Page saith such Blood must necessarily and speedily be suppurated Page 257 258. After he had discoursed of three wayes compleatly omitting a * See Fallopius cap. 13. de vuln pocul fourth viz. Paracentesis to fetch off the Blood extravasate in Wounds in the Breast of which two were Expectoration and pissung he persists in the use of Tents to discharge it that way Page 25 266 267. He denounceth lingring death at least to Wounds of the Lungs And yet not only directs to their cure but reports two stories from Glandorp and several stoln from Skenckius of prodigious Wounds there cured Page 271. He makes Wounds of the Pericardium easily curable and in the same Chapter saith that they generally bring Consumptions hectick Fever ard death Page 273. He Prognosticates present death to Wounds of the Heart And confesseth in the same Chapter not only that a man may survive such a Wound two or three days but that superficial ones may be cured Page 278. The great Arterie wounded the Body grows chill Although in that very Chapter he delivers that a Feaver and Inflammation are symptoms of that Wound He saith page 279. The Veins carry Blood to the Heart and page 275 he affirms that it doth not receive from any part that its disputable whether the Veins have their Original from the Heart or Liver and on the contrary affirms in divers places that they have their Original in the Liver Page 297. he saith The Gut Jejunum is exsanguial and in the same breath saith page 298. they are full of Vessels and that the plenitude of Meseraick Veins doth contradistinguish it from the great Guts Pagr 304. He denounceth absolute death to large Wounds of the Liver and in the same Chapter relates from Glandorp the Cure of one who lost great part thereof and another from Forestus of one who lost a less piece and was cured Page 309. Death quoth he soon followeth if the Stomach be cut although in the same Chapter he not only confesseth such Wounds are curable but gives a borrowed story from Glandorp and two stoln from Sckenkius of most prodigious ones healed Page 24. He represents the substance of the Liver as grumous coagulated Blood and yet page 302. he saith once and again that the same whole substance is a composition of Glandules and Ramifications Again in the same page he suggests as he doth in many other places Sanguification is performed by the Liver and again saith the contrary Page 237. He saith If the Tongue be wounded transversly it 's altogether incurable and delivers in the same page that it 's to be accounted curable if it be not wholly cut off as he exemplifieth by a borrowed though falsly quoted story from Hildanus Page 233. He relates the story of a Souldier shot through the middle of the Ear but presently forgetting himself saith the Cartilage was not hurt Page 140. He saith Incision cannot ought not to be made through the temporal Muscle and page 225. directs to it as a thing necessary and feasible To conclude this Topick look into his 215 page and you will find a sufficient proof of his skill agreeableness sense c. which I will give you verbatim To CONCLUDE this Chapter I shall END with THIS observable History the FIRST whereof shall be of a young man who looking upward had a small Stone fall down upon the upper Eye-lid the which did both hurt it and its CARTILAGE suture being made and the parts enclosed by a Needle the Cartilage remaining unhurt c.
