causes which induce me to discourse of it in that manner The first is the honour and respect which I bear to the Hippocratique Doctrine and that of Galen for having been nourished therein ever since my young years The second is because by that meanes I would give to understand as I shall shew in a book which I will make apart from this the agreeing reason and affimity that there is between the books of Hippocrates and Galen and those of Paracelsus as I have made one Chapter thereof in my Petite Chirurgie Chymique The third reason is That so the Learned Chirurgion may make use of it as he shall know to be necessary for since in all his operations he ought to follow Nature he ought also to take speciall heed to maintain and preserve Her and not to alter her as he doth in the emission of blood which is the Treasure of Life as before I have said Definition of the Pleurisy For I pray how can it be possible that the blood which is out of its vessells spilt in capacity of certain parts of the body yea even Clotted and Coagulated therein can re-enter into the vessell to be evacuated by blooding for example in the Pleurisy which is a tumour made of subtile blood which comes out of the veine Azuges stopt between the Membrana pleura and the Muscels Mesopluri in the curing whereof they prescribe Blooding Glisters Syrops Tablets and other like remedies But I aske what is it that blooding serves for there seeing that the blood which as we have said is out of the veines cannot enter thereinto again to be thereby evacuated I know well that they will answer me that the matter continued in the same place doth not enter into the veines to be evacuated but that they use it for the hindering of any more from flowing into that place and also that the Medicaments given inwardly do work more easily Oh this is a pritty doctrine for the healing of a patient to weaken nature which one ought rather to corroborate for the rendring her more strong to strive against the disease for curing the Pleurisy they evacuate the good and pure blood which ought to be preserved for maintaining the strength of the Patient and leave the impure blood in the body which ought to be taken away I will not therefore say that blooding being performed in the beginning of the true Pleurisie is not profitable but is very necessary being performed opportunely but oh unfortunate time I have seen those who in all the seasons of that Malady do not forbear with too bold a rashnesse to evacuate this Treasure of the life But to the end that none may continue any longer in this errour and that I may not amuse my self by disputing in these things therein following Galen who is not willing that one should dispute neither of Apollo nor of Aesculapius but that one should endeavour to inlarge the Doctrine for I know that one may alleadg Sophisticall Arguments to prove falsities but it must be to those who know not how to guard themselves from them I shall onely say that Hippocrates understood well what he said when he affirmed that by probable and subtile fictions in Physick there did often happen great and heavy falls From whence one may perceive that Physick is fallen so miserably having been called by its own props or upholders opinionate or subject to opinion and Conjecturall 616. Praecept Com. 2 Aph. 2. de Comp. me Secund. loc That the verity thereof cannot appeare but by subtile Arguments and that is is incertain This is it which hath induced Galen to reprehend Hippocrates for having called Physick Conjectural which he had need to do seeing it is neither Conjecturall nor imaginary but on the contrary Scientifique So that as a kingdom divided against it self cannot stand can Physick subsist when the supports therof are divided among themselves That is it which hath given occasion to the Vulgar to slight it as it is slighted But wherefore do we assemble seven or eight as well Physicians as Chirurgions for consultation upon one disease which if it be known what need is there of opinion upon it In short either the Science of Physick is True or it is not True If it be true its rules are certain But it is true that it is true because it is of Gods Creation and God and nature make nothing vain It follows then that its precepts are true Which Hippocrates perceived although he was an Ethnique in regard he saith the Philosophicall Physician is like unto God but he cannot be so who follows not Truth That is it which I desire to follow avoiding to the best of my power Sophistryes which are the onely causes of nourishing falsities wherewith to my great trouble our Chirurgery is replenished But to the end as I have said before I may not keep the Reader in such an errour I give him two Remedies for all sorts of Contusions Dry-blowes Bruises Phlegmatick-Swelling blood clotted or congeled within the body by reason of a fall from some high place In which from these two Remedies borrowed from Paracelsus one shall see a very great effect without running to Phlebotomy as many who follow the ordinary errour do One may by these serve himself to his own great honour the benefit of the Patient and to the Glory of God Of these two Medicines the one you may take inwardly when you suspect there is some quantity of blood spilt and coagulated in the inner parts of the body and the other is to be applyed outwardly when the Phlegmatick Tumor appears to the sense of the eye and both of them together may serve as in Pleurisie Eshimose collection of Corrupt matter within the body between Breast and Lungs Empyeme and such like as I intend to mention in the book which I have heretofore promised by the assistance of God Let us come now to the description of these two Remedies which are as followeth A Remedy for the externall Parts â„ž Flowers of white Mullein M.j. flowers of St. Iohns-Wort M. iij. roote of Asclepias or Swallow-wort M. ss Mumie â„¥ j. fresh oyle Olive Lib. ij There bentine al.
