A38822	Panacea, or, The universal medicine being a discovery of the wonderfull vertues of tobacco taken in a pipe : with its operation and use both in physick and chyrurgery / by Dr Everard, &c.	Everard, Giles.	1659 (1659)	Wing E3530; ESTC R1871	56,313	160

worms in foul Ulcers and all creeping Ulcers like as sublimate doth Also this cures hard flesh growing upon the legs of Cattle and Pack-horses whose backs are galled with burdens and Pack-saddles or if they be more hurt though the wound or wounds encline to a Cancer only apply the leaves or juyce with lint or use the dried Herb. They will be so well cured without any other Medicament that you need not to forbear your Journey Tobacco is an Antidote against Hellebore The Hunters of Spain are wont to use Hellebore because it is a present poyson to kill Deer and wild Beasts The Catholick King to try the truth of it bad a Hunter to hurt a little Dog in the throat and to put Hellborne into the wound and by and by after the juyce of Tobacco upon lint and so to bind all up and the Dog received no harm to the wonder of them all The like happened last Winter at Antwerp where one gave to a Cat of a Matron of the Town a Bolus mingled with venome because the Cat was to fierce After this the Cat could stay no where but ran up and down and tryed in vain to vomit up the poyson the Matron observing this found a way to open the Cats mouth and to thrust in a little Ball of Tobacco made up with butter The Cat presently after cast up the poyson and escaped death Thus much for Male Tobacco but the use and faculties of the Female are almost the same as of the Male and when the Male is wanting we used the Female as I have directed you before for the Male to cure by Observe this that the leaves of the Female Tobacco are good in decoctions for Clysters They are excellent against Dysenteries and the Balsam of it yeelded to no Medicament to cure a Cancer especially of the Brests The third sort of Tobacco which some call black others yellow Henbane is contrary to Tobacco in nature and qualities and therefore they do ill that foolishly use it for the true Tobacco Yet it may serve to revulse hot humours and in part to resolve hot Impostumes also in a Cancer it may restrain the heat of black choler Iohan. de vigo capite de hernia useth Henbane to resolve humours It is strange saith Monardus lib. 3. of simple Medicaments that are brought out of the new world what notable vertues and faculties are daily discovered in Tobacco For besides those related I can saith he relate as many were which I have heard others speak of and I my self have observed The juyce pressed out of the fresh leaves of Tobacco and drank the quantity of two ounces vehemently purgeth water and flegme above and beneath and therefore it is profitably given in Dropsies and the Falling-sickness Also water is distilled from the leaves of Tobacco cut in pieces in a glass Limbeck which is afterwards rectified in the Sun This is almost as good as the juyce of the Plant chiefly for Wounds Tumours Kibes and for nails that fall off from the fingers of themselves if the water be but poured into the part affected or now and then a lint or cloath wet in it and applyed Leo Suavius bids us gather the leaves in Iuly bruise them and distill them in a double Vessell with glass Instruments presently set it in the Sun and keep it a year This water taken fasting the quantity of an ounce or an ounce and half is good for an Asthma and an old cold The Oyl by infusion is thus made Take the leaves torn or cut in pieces boyl them in Oyl Olives which will be coloured press it forth rejecting the leaves then infuse fresh leaves and expose them to the Sun in a Violglass or boyl them untill the juyce be consumed this is good against Scabs Wounds and Ulcers It cures pains of the head and foulness of the skin Also Oyl may be drawn from the Seeds of Tobacco which drank in a small quantity is excellent against venome and bites of Vipers Distilled Oyl is made by descent as the Chymists call it is a Glass retort Salt is made by the Art of Chymistry from Tobacco and both of these namely the Oyl distilled and the Salt far exceed the leaves or juyce the powder or distilled water to cure Diseases because the most thin and excellent essences of it are separated which are better then the terrestriall matter for these are the next and immediate seat and subject of the faculties themselves Let no man despise or scornfully laugh at the name of Essence for Galen used it explaining the thing very fitly For I understand nothing else then he doth when he saith that some Herbs are of a more thick thin or fiery nature and essence then others are Iacobus Gohorius of Paris shews the way to make Salt of Tobacco thus Calcins Tobacco dissolve the Calx strain filtrat evaporate it there will be a Salt which will do no harm in a Caustick and not so Corrosive in dissolving malignant Ulcers wherefore this is the common way to extract Salt from all Vegetables Burn the Herb in the fire the place being swept clean with Brooms some first set it in the Sun others dry it in the shade let it burn untill it stick together in a lump Or if you proceed further to burn it to burn it to ashes you shall have more Salt Put the ashes into a glazed earthen Pot and pour fair water upon them and let it seeth some hours at the fire pour it forth into another Vessell and when the dregs are setled strain it through a linnen cloath set the strained liquour at an easie fire with few Coles that the water may evaporate and the Salt remain in the bottom The next way is more curious Burn the dried Herb in an ●arthen Pot covered by a long and strong fire untill the ashes come to be pure white and that is a sign it is perfectly calcined then let it boyl in Rain or distilled water in a Glass vessell in sifted ashes let it boyl untill a fourth part of the water be wasted then let it stand a while Pour it into another Glass and putting in some new very fine Tongues to filter it the pure and salt water will be strained into the Receiver underneath it What is filtrated must be evaporated at an easie fire in a Glass Vessell and the salt will remain at the bottom clear and pure The third way is the most exact Gather the Herb green and bruise it distill the water of it by a Limbeck calcine the faeces at a moderate fire the Vessell being stopt untill they come to ashes Let the fire be gentle that it may not consume the proper and radical moisture of the Plant for that will make it run to glass pour the water upon the earth of it and it will thirstily devoure it Digest it in Horse dung or in a Bath some daies Pour it out

as before that it be not mingled with the faeces then filtrat it lastly evaporate what is filtrated These are the various waies to make artificial Salt not only of Tobacco but of all Vegetables that are prepared by the fire and the use of them may be wonderfull in curing those that are dainty and such as abhorre all Medicaments putting that Salt in their Broth or Salt-seller to season their meat To this may be referred what the famous Physician and Philosopher of his age Liona●dus Fioravantus hath written in his Physicall Observations I took sath he Tobacco with Seed and Root and I stamped them all the leaves weighed LIV ounces I hid them in Horse dung to ferment thirty daies and that they might not corrupt I put some salt to them and six ounces of aqua vitae then I distilled them in B●l●eo M●riae untill all the moisture were drawn from them and that it might keep the better I added so much Oyl of Brimestone as might make it taste sharp I used this composition in many things In all Feavers a spoonfull drank cured them Wounded men if they drank it or annointed their wounds with it they were cured to admiration Oytments are made of Tobacco divers waies though the Herb used by it self is far more effectuall Take the fairest greatest greenest most rosiny leaves of Tobacco freed from all filth and dust diligently that are no waies wet with Rain or Dew one pound bruise them with a Pestle in a Morter of Marble or of Wood half a pound of Hogs-grease prepared that is purged from all its skins and melted in a brazen Vessell to this must be added the juyce of Tobacco and the thick substance bruised Let them boyl together upon a Trevot in a brazen Pot with a very small gentle fire namely live Coles being put under the Trevot or else in Balneo untill you see the watryness of the juyce to be vanished and gone and the unguent brought to a Consistence Or an unguent may be made of the manifold infusion of Tobacco in Oyl of Roses three or four times renewing the leaves in Balneo and when you press it out adding so much of the juyce of the same Herb and wax what may suffice and make an ●nguent according to art Or thus Take juyce of Tobacco one pound common Oyl new Wax Rosin of the Pine-Tree of each two ounces Oyl of St Johns Wort one ounce Let them boyl at a gentle fire for three hours strain it and adde to it two ounces of Turpentine Boyl them to the consistence of an unguent It is good for old Ulcers of the Pox Scrophulas Ulcers or Spots contracted by the fire in Winter Kibes chaps of the hands especially if you rub the part affected first with the green Herb and put it into hot salt water and after anoint it with the said unguent Take Pitch Rosin new Wax Turpentine of each three ounces Let them melt and boyl together in a brass Vessell with live Coles under it when all are melted and boyl'd then adde of the juyce of Tobacco and bruised substance one pound let all boyl together five or six hours at an easy fire upon a Tripod in a double Vessell that is a Kettle full of boyling water move them constantly untill all the watryness be consumed and the rest be thickned to an unguent then press them out through a thick hempen cloath and put them again into the brass Skillet adding half an ounce of Venice-Turpentine yet let them not boyl but stirre them carefully then let them cool and keep them for use Take leaves of Tobacco bruised one pound Yellow Wax Turpentine Oyl Olives Pitch white Rosin of each three ounces Let them boyl together two hours in a new Pipkin to the consistence of an unguent then use it in a small quantity spread on leather or linnin Some there are that in both descriptions do not adde the juyce of Tobacco with the thick substance but they only strain it and crush it through a thick cloath and they reserve the juyce alone which is not the best way But the first unguent is farmore effectual for Wounds cancerous Ulcers Tetters Itch Knots upon the face because it hath a greater force to resolve and cleanse away which is the property of Tobacco if it be not hindered by other things that are joyned with it The latter is better to heal wounds and repair flesh to resolve Impostumes to ease paines and such like Operations But it seems needless to Iacobus Gohorius to edde new Wax Rosin common Oyl Turpentine because one of these is sufficient for the clamminess of Tobacco For such an heap of Simples that are in that Oyntment make the Oyntment only fit for Wounds which otherwise is good for cancerous Ulcers Itch Imposthumes Tetters and other Maladies It is no reason also so to waste the juyce of Tobacco that nothing should remain besides the bruised substance and strange Ingredients It will not be amiss to set down an unguent to cure wounds made with Gun-shot and fit for all other purposes the proper making whereof is taught by Iosephus Quercetanus Take the juyce of Tobacco one pound Turpentine five ounces compound Oyl of St Johns Wort eight ounces the best white Wine half a pound let these digest for eight daies afterwards boyl them untill the Wine be consumed then adde Colophonia Wax of each three ounces Mummie Amber of each two drams melt them again at the fire and make an unguent according to Art Iacobus Weckerus teacheth to make an unguent against the Scabs thus Take the juyce of Tobacco one ounce and half powdred Brimestone Salt of each one ounce Oyl of Tobacco Oranges of each two ounces Oyl of Wax Goats suet of each two ounces make an unquent according to art Iacobus Weckerus saith That he received another unguent from a Frenchman to cure wounds Take juyce of Tobacco one pound new Wax Pitch Rosin common Oyl of each two ounces boyl all together untill the juyce be consumed then adde Venice Turpentine three ounces strain all through a linnen cloath and keep it in a Box This cures Wounds and Ulcers certainly Adde to all this that a most fragrant Balsam is compounded of Tobacco Take as many leaves of Tobacco as you please bruise them in a Mortar and press forth the juyce cast away the gross body and set the juyce with an equall part of Oyl of Olives in a glass Viol in the Sun for a long time stop the glass close with Gums and Wax and fasten it with a sound skin of leather Or if you like it best set it in a Kettle full of boyling water or in Balneo or hide it in Horse dung and leave it there full forty daies renewing the dung sometimes when the forty daies are ended you shall find a Balsam in the Glass no less effectual for all Causes then the Quintessence of Tobacco it self
