A15599	The general practise of physicke conteyning all inward and outward parts of the body, with all the accidents and infirmities that are incident vnto them, euen from the crowne of the head to the sole of the foote: also by what meanes (with the help of God) they may be remedied: very meete and profitable, not only for all phisitions, chirurgions, apothecaries, and midwiues, but for all other estates whatsoeuer; the like whereof as yet in english hath not beene published. Compiled and written by the most famous and learned doctour Christopher VVirtzung, in the Germane tongue, and now translated into English, in diuers places corrected, and with many additions illustrated and augmented, by Iacob Mosan Germane, Doctor in the same facultie.; New artzney buch.

thoroughly and well dried or preserued and confected in honie or sugar as is taught in the 8. part of this booke Séedes are ripest and of most vertue when the fruites are full ripe Seedes and when herbes are at their full growth all dust shall be sifted or fanned from them then bound vp in paper which longest kéepeth them good Some séedes may be kept longer in their full vertue and strength others must be new gathered euery yeare but easily it may be discerned by the tast which of them hath lost his vertue and which hath not Addition For the gathering of simples and their partes there be almost as many mindes and diuersities of opinions as Authours that write of them The one will haue them gathered when they beare their flower the other before or when the leafe is at the biggest and they readie to haue flowers the third sort when they are but young and new come foorth of the ground Some do gather one and the selfe same hearbe at sundrie times as when it first springeth out of the earth when it beareth his flower and when it beareth seede adding that the first is for children and young folkes the second for middle aged and the last for old men Other some would haue the leafe the stalke the roote the flower and the seede each gathered and reserued apart affirming each part of them to serue for sundrie vses There are yet others that gather all manner of hearbes in their seuerall moneths beginning the moneth still when the Sunne entreth into one of the twelue celestiall signes saying that euery hearbe hath most vertue when it most flourisheth some adde vnto this the full Moone But howsoeuer it be this I knowe by experience that not onely the diuersitie of the time in gathering them in preparing and in reseruing them but also the manifold vses of them are iust causes of sundrie nay cleane contrarie effects and operations in them For this I haue seene that one and the selfe same Simple being gathered at sundrie times in one and the selfe same place shall purge and bind which are quite contrarie effects And therefore it is no maruell if sometimes we misse of our expected purpose and hope in not finding those vertues in the Simples that by Hippocrates Galen Dioscorides and others are ascribed vnto them seeing they are of diuers men gathered without regard of time or place prepared without care reserued and kept they passe not how nor how long I remember that as I trauelled through the Dukedome of Brownswicke I heard of a woman that was very famous in the towne there called Gosler for womens diseases but especially in staying and prouoking their menstruall fluxes with whome when I had conferred about her art I found that it was one onely hearbe but gathered at sundrie times The reason of all these opinions and sundrie operations because it is not our intent nor meaning here to recite them we will deferre them till a more fit oportunitie be offered The sixt Chapter Of the preparation of some things for Phisicke as followeth The preparation of simples IT is also very necessarie and conuenient to knowe the true preparation of diuers and sundrie things and simples that are vsed in phisicke and to take away or diminish or at the least correct that which is and might be hurtful in them For if this should not be done they wold oftentimes by reason either of their sharpnesse or venimous nature do a great deale more harme than good Neither shall it be amisse to shew and declare the nature and properties of the principall simples and drugs in phisicke What Aloes Hepatica is Aloëpatica is the iuice of a very sappie hearbe which groweth in the countries that lie Eastward and is in tast maruellous bitter The best is that which glistereth is light cleare like a liuer without sand or grauell admixed and as yet cleauing to the skin wherein it is brought There is another kind of Aloes called Aloes Caballinum which in colour is very blacke and not vsed in Phisicke The vertues of 〈…〉 Aloes is hote in the first and drie in the third degree purgeth gall or choler and waterish flegme It is corrected two sundrie waies as followeth Hisp● 〈◊〉 Take of very fine powdered and sifted Aloes as much as thou wilt put twice as much raine water to it stir and mixe them well together let it then rest all a night that the sand stones and other filth may fall to the bottome in the morning after straine of the clearest couer it with a linnen cloath and set it in the hote Sunne or in some other warme place till it be somewhat dried then make litle rowles of it The other manner of washing Aloes is done with spices thus Take of Aloes as afore powdered and sifted six ounces of the swéet wood called Cassia Lignea Spikenard of India Asarrabacca swéet Cane Cubebes Lignum Aloes Cinnamom Xylobalsami Saffron Mastick prepared Lacca of each one ounce and a halfe Boyle all these together in a glasse or pot in water vntill all the vertue be boyled out of the ingredients and gone into the water then straine it through a cloth after this dissolue your Aloes in this water stirring it continually and at the last straine and drie it as is aforesaid This is called of the Apothecaries Aloe Lota or washed Aloes either with or without spices of this may boldly without any danger be giuen a quarter of an ounce at once To make burned Allume How to calcine Allume Take of the best Allum as much as thou wilt beate it not very small put it into an earthen pot vpon a litle cole of fire boyle it till it be thicke white and light and stir it wel in the boyling if it were not altogether drie then take it out by péeces and lay it in the hote fire and it will be dried incontinently Ammoniacum Ammoniacum and such like gums that cannot be beaten small and are very vncleane are clensed as followeth Put strong vineger vpon them and let them melt together on the fire straine and presse them through a strong linnen cloth to separate péeces of wood strawe and whatsoeuer else is with it let it afterwards boyle till it be thicke powre it out on a stone that is be-oyled and make it vp as pleaseth thée best Oile of oliues Sallet Oyle or Oile of Oliues it is oftentimes commanded to vse old oile of Oliues in place of which if it be not to be had thou shalt take one part of Oyle and two parts of water and let them boyle together easily on the fire till the Oyle become as thicke as honie and so vse it Others adde more water to their oyle but that cometh all to one end Pitch Pitch is sometimes vsed in forme of powder and is prepared on this manner Take one part of Pitch and twentie parts of water let them boile together in a great pot

wind cold moist countries and the smell of these fiue things following as Goates hornes which is so forcible that they that suppose to be cleane rid of this sicknesse receiuing the sewet therof must immediatly fall to the ground Item Galbanum Myrrha Benzuin and aboue all the herbe Smallage like as it is found that it hath caused one to fall only through looking vpon it therfore such persons must and are to be kept from them Youth is also more subiect to this disease than age but it is easier to be cured in young persons than in old like as shall be more at large taught hereafter The signes of one that hath the falling sicknesse are these if he fall suddenly to the earth bendeth him beateth or striketh from him loseth his vnderstanding and tometh at the mouth if thereby his vrine nature or excrements passe away then it is a signe that the sicknesse is the stronger Order of Diet. IT importeth as well young as old people in this sicknesse like as in all other sicknesses but for this sicknesse must regard be had especially of the age and youth nature custome and abilitie of the patient In common falling sicknesses is first to be eschewed all cold moist and watrie places in like sort also all meates cold of nature all that bringeth with it slime and obstructions as Dow Milke Fish Gourds Lettice Béetes Spinage Purslaine Cucumbers and fat flesh Item all strong things as Onions Garlicke Scallions Radishes Coleworts Mustard séede all that is much salted and all Spices Item fresh water all strong wine be it red or white and chiefly sweete they are very hurtfull like as is also to eate too much and to swallow downe meate vnchewed and to eate againe before the former be digested long sléepe and principally to sléepe by day he is vtterly to eschew But on the contrarie all his meates are to be drying as Mutton Partridges Pheasants all wood Fowles with some Pepper Zeduarie and Galingall prepared and alwaies rather rosted then sodden his drinke must be thin cleare small red wine but if the wine be somwhat strong then it is to be tempered with the water of Buglosse or the water wherein Betonie rootes are decocted Great motion is not fit for him but rather much rest The remedies which are to be vsed for this falling sicknesse are most of them here before where we haue discoursed of the hag or mare described which according to the importance of the cause must be vsed for old folkes which be burthened and troubled with this disease And because like as before is discouered the young children by reason of their moisture whereof they be full are more subiect to this sicknesse therefore we will first as much as shall concerne that describe these meanes and remedies following Of the Falling sicknesse in children VVIth sucking children nothing is safer to be taken than that the mother or nurse doe obserue a good order of diet eate meate that is light of digestion and that moderately warmeth that she refraine man and all that maketh grosse bloud And if she be conceiued then is the child to sucke no more at any hand before meate she is to moue and stir well and to drinke watred wine or small Béere she is to refraine and leaue all fruits and especially those that be cold and moist In fine she is not to gouerne her selfe otherwise than if she were her selfe infected with the falling sicknesse When as the child doth waxe stronger and beginneth to féede on other meate then it is to be gouerned according to the importance of his age and of his sicknes like as by this prescription and other Chapters written to this end may be seene These are alwaies the remedies which by the auncient Phisitions be commended for young childrens falling sicknesse and are found profitable Take water of Rue May Lillies of each a like quantitie giue a spoonefull thereof or more according to the bignesse of the child make péeces of Tiles hote lay chopt Rue theron sprinkled with vineger hold him that before his nose the same is also good for ancient people Temper Conserue of Violets in Endiue water or Pyony water this is very good if there be any heate mixt amongst it Make thicke Almond milke temper therein as much Sugar that it be as thicke as pappe wipe thereof in the childs mouth it nourisheth well bringeth sléepe with it and defendeth the stomacke from all foule stinking humors the water of Chickwéeke is also very requisite for this Others do commend much for this the water of Cowdung and if it cannot be had then is the Cowdung to be broken into faire water and strained through a cloth and to giue thereof halfe an ounce at least Item take the water of blacke Cherries water of Tillet blossomes of each a like quantitie giue it in the time of sicknesse or when it is thought to be at hand The fish that is called Mustella Fluutatilis or Trinca called Trisca in Latine hath two small bones lying vpon the braines which are to be dried and powdred and giuen to the child These are maruellous good but these small bones are to be taken out of an vnsodden fish for when they be sodden they haue lost their vertue It hapneth also that children when they be full of wormes do get the falling sicknes which is very dangerous against which you shall find hereafter in the third part where we shall discourse of the wormes sundrie good aduises Take young Magpies out of the nest distill water of them and giue to young children a spoonefull for the Falling sicknesse Another Take three young Magpies that cannot flie Vngula Alcis thrée drag Harts horne shauen one drag and a halfe distill them together and vse them as before it hath bene often prooued Item take Carduus Benedictus water two ounces Lauander water halfe an ounce when you perceiue that the falling sicknesse will assaile any bodie whether they be young or old then looke that you get a young hare which sucketh still take the maw out of it hang it in the aire that the milke may drie in it wherof giue to the sicke person one drag or lesse according to the importance powdred with fresh water for this are Pyony kernels good worne about the neck and also the powder thereof taken the roote sodden and dronken thereof and the powder strewed vpon the meate is also very good A good Powder TAke prepared Pearles one drag red Corall halfe a drag Miscleden one
