the cure wherof dyfferethe in none other but according to the difference of age for in a sucking babe y e medicines may not be so sharpe as it may be suffered in one that is alredye weaned Against

strayne them and kepe it for the same entent Thys oyntment hath a greate effecte both in yong and olde and that without repercussion or dryuing backe of the matter whyche shoulde be a peryllouse thyng for a yong chld The herbe water betonye alone is a greate medicyne to quenche al vnkind heates without dauÌ„ger or the sething of it in cleare well water to annoynte the membres It is a commen herbe groweth by ryuers sydes smal renning waters and wette places arysiÌ„g many tymes the heygth of a maÌ„ out of the grounde where he reioyseth with a stalke foure square and many brauÌ„ches on euery syde and also it beareth a whytysh blewe flowre very smal in haruest it hath innumerable seedes blacke and as fyne as the seed of tutsone or lesse the leues bygge and loÌ„g accordyng to the ground ful of iuyce iagged on the sides lyke a sawe euen as other betonye to whom it approcheth in figure obtemeth his name of water betony The sauoure of the leafe is somwhat heauye moste lyke to y e sauoure of

shulde stynke when it is stamped but the more this herbe is stamped the more swete and herbelyke it sauoureth therfore it can not be galeopsis and besides that it is neuer founde in drye and stony grouÌ„d as the Galiopsis is Neyther is thys herbe mencyoned of the newe or olde authours as farre as I can see but of only Vigo y e famous surgion of oure tyme in Italye whych wryteth on it that this herbe exceadeth al other in a malo mortuo so calleth he a kynde of â—eprye elephantyk or an vniuersal fylthy scabbe of all the body and in lyke maner he sayeth it is good for to cure a canker in the breastes Ye maye reade these thiÌ„ges in his second boke Capitul .iii. and his fifte booke of the Frenche pockes in the thyrd chapter where he doth describe thys aforesaid herbe with so manyfeste tokens that no maÌ„ wil doubt it to be water betony conferryng the boke and the herbe duly togither Moreouer he nameth in Italye a brydge where it growethe in the water in greate aboundaunce and is called of y t nacion Alabeueratore which in dede the Italtons that come hyther and knowe both the place and the herbe doe affyrme playnely it is our water betony And where as he allegeth Dioscorides in climeno which by coÌ„templacioÌ„ of both hath but smal affiniti or none with this herbe it was for nothinge els but lack of the toÌ„ges which faute is not to be so highly rebuked in a maÌ„ of his study applying him selfe more in the practyse of surgery to handye operacioÌ„ wherin in dede he was nere incomparable then he did to search y e variauÌ„ce of tonges rather regarded to declare y e operacioÌ„ of thinges with truthe then to dispute vpon the propertyes or names with eloquence Thus haue I declyned agayne from my matter partly to shewe y e descripcion of thys holesome herbe partelye to satisfie the mindes of y e surgions in Vigo whiche haue hitherto redde the sayd places in vayne and furthermore bicause ther is yet none that declareth manyfestly the same herbe Â¶ An other remedye for scabbes and ytche Take the rootes of dockes and frye theÌ„ in fresh grese then put to it a quaÌ„titie of brimstone in pouder and vse to rubbe the places twise or thrise a day Brimstone poudred souped in a rere

it is more easye I fynde that manye thynges haue a natural vertue against y e falling euill not of any qualitye elementall but by a singuler propertye or rather an influence of heauen whiche almyghtye god hathe geuen vnto thynges here in earth as be these and other Saphires smaragdes redde coral piony mystletow of the oke takeÌ„ in the moneth of March and the moone decreasynge tyme sauein dylle and the stone that is founde in the bellye of a yong swallow being the first brood of the dame These or one of them hanged about the necke of the child saueth and preserueth it from the sayd sickenes Now wil I describe some good holsome medicines to be takeÌ„ inward for thesame disease If the chylde be not very young the mawe of a leueret dronke with water and honye cureth thesame Â¶ A medicine for the fallinge syckenesse Take the roote of pionye and make it into pouder and geue it to the childe to lycke in a litle pappe and suger They that are of age maye eate of it a good quantity at once and likewise of the blacke sedes of the same piony Item the purple violettes that creapeth on the ground in gardeines with a longe stalke and is called in englishe and fryed meates but abstaine from mylke and al maner fyshe And it shall be good for her to eat a lectuary made after this sorte Take nuntis cinamone cumine rose leaues dryed mastike fenugreke valerian ameos doronisi zedoarye cloues saunders and lignum aloes of euerye one a dramme muske half one draÌ„me make an electuary with clarified hony and let her eat of it and geue the chylde as muche as halfe a nut euerye daye to swallow A plaister Take an ounce of waxe and a dramme of euphorbium at the potecaries and temper it with oyle olyue on the fyer and make a serecloth to coumforte the backe bone and the sinewes Â¶ A goodly lauatorye for the same purpose Take lye of ashes and seeth therein baye buryes and asmuch piony sedes in a close vessel to the thyrde parte and washe the childe often with thesame Item a bathe of sauerye maiorym tyme sage nepte smallage mintes or some of them is verye good and holesome Also to rubbe the backe of the chylde and the limmes with oyles of roses and spyke myxte together warme and in stede of it ye mai take oyle of baies Â¶ Of the crampe or spasmus THis disease is often sene amoÌ„g chyldren and commeth verye lyghtely as of debilytye of the nerues and cordes or elles of grosse humors that suffocate thesame the cure of y t whiche is declared of authours to bee doone by friccions and oyntmentes that comfort the sinowes dissolue the matter as oile of floure-deluyce with a litle anyse saffron and the rootes of pionie Item oyle of camomil fenugreke and mellilotâ— or the herbes soddeÌ„ betony wormewood verueyne and tyme are exceding good to washe the chylde in Item the plaister of exphorbium written in the cure of palsey Of the stifnes or starknes of limmes SOmetime it happeneth â— the lymmes are starke â— can not well come together withoute the greater peyne whiche thyngâ— procedeth mani times of cold as whan a chylde is found in the frost or in the streete caste awaye by â— wycked mother or by somâ— other chaunce although I am not ignoraunâ— that it maye procede of manye other causes as it is sayde of Rasis and oâ— Arnolde de villa noua in his boke of the cure of infantes And here is to bee noted a wonderfull secret of nature manye tymes approued written of Auicenne in hyâ— fyrste Canon and of Celius Antiquarium electionuÌ„ libro .xiii. capit .xxxvii â–ª that whan a meÌ„ber is vtterly benum ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ and taken thorough colde so thaâ— the paciente cannot feele hys lymmes nor moue them accordynge to nature by reason of the vehement congelacioÌ„ of y e bloud in such case y e chiefest helâ— or remedy is not to set them to the fyer to receiue heat for by that meanes lightly we se that eueri one swowneth and manye dye outeryghte but to sette the feete legges and armes in a payle of clere colde water whiche immediatly shal dissolue the congelacioÌ„ and restore the bloude to the former passage and fredome after that ye maâ— lay the pacient in a bed to sweate and geue him hote drinke and caudels or a coleis of a capon hote with a litle cinamome saffroÌ„ to coÌ„fort the hart An argument of this cure ye may se thus When an apple or a pere is frosen in the winter sette it to the fyer and it is destroyed but yf ye putte it into colde water it shall as well endure as it did afore whereby it doth appere that the water resolueth colde better with hiâ— moysture than the fyer can do by reason of his heate for the water relenteth and the fyer draweth and dryeth as affyrmeth Galene in hys booke oâ— elementes Hitherto haue I declined by occasion but I trust not in vayne to the reader now to my purpose When a yonge childe is so taken with a colde I esteme it best for to bath thâ— bodye in luke warme water whereiâ— hath bene sodden maiorim and time â— sope sage mintes suche other gooâ— and comfortable herbes theÌ„ to relieuâ— it with meates of good nourishment accordyng to the age and necessity and yf neede be when ye se the limmes yâ— to be starke make an oyntmente after this fourme Â¶ An oyntment for styffe and stoyned limmes Take a good handefull of nettles and stampe them then seth them in oyle â— the thirde part in a double vessel kepâ— that oyntmeÌ„t in a drye place for it wâ— last a great while and is a singuler râ—medy for the styfnes that commeth of cold whoso anoynteth hys handes fete with it in the morning shal not be grieued with colde al the daye after The sedes of nettles gathered in harueste and kepte for thesame entente is excedyng good sodden in oyle or fryed with swines grece which thing also is verye good to heale the kybes of heeles called in latin Perniones The vrine of a goate with the donge stamped and layed to the place resolueth the stifnes of limmes When the cause commeth not by extreme cold but of some other affeccion of the sinowes and cordes it is best to make a bath or a fomeÌ„tacioÌ„ of herbes that resolue and comfort the sinowes with relaxacion of the grosse humors to open the pores as by exaÌ„ple thus Take malowes holyhocke and dyl of eche a handful or two seth them in the water of netes fete or in broth of flesh without salt with a handful of branne â—nd comine in the which ye shall bath the chyld as warme as he may suffeâ— and yf ye see necessitie make a plaistâ— with the same herbes and lay it to thâ— griefe with a litle gosegrece or duckâ— grece or if it may be gotten oyle of câ—momil of lylyes and of dyll
