A67222	Lues venera wherein the names, nature, subject, causes, signes, and cure, are handled, mistakes in these discovered, rectified, doubts and questions succinctly resolved / by John Wynell ...	Wynell, John, fl. 1660-1670.	1660 (1660)	Wing W3775; ESTC R31852	27,312	95

Aethiopia the Dracunculi of Arabia which the Ancients mention came on them by their excesse in diet for they were a voracious people and especially from their feeding on Locusts which depraved their constitutions The gowt of Attica arose from their full and delicious diet and much venery We read also of Winds which brought the causes of sicknesses as the south Wind from Africk to Europe and some Winds barrennesse to Women So that all Endemicall diseases proper to regions arise either from a corrupt usage of those Countries or from the temper of the aire But this disease hath no such rise adjuvant causes I deny not so that it cannot be peculiar to any region but seeing it is gotten by contact especially that of coition I say it is most peculiar to those Countries Cities Families Persons that are most addicted to Venery And so I come from the Causes and such doubts as arise thereupon unto the Signes CHAP. VIII Of the Signes Diagnostick THe signes of this disease are either Diagnostick or Prognostick Diagnostick or such as discover the disease present besides those which have been scattered in the precedent Chapters may from the accidentall differences of this disease the essence being alwayes the same be rallied in this order as they flow 1. From the rise that one is haereditary and native another accidentary as by a soul bed a venereous Child to the Nurse or a venereous Nurse to the Child 2. From the age of it that one is begun another growing a third consummate 3. From the symptoms that one is more vehement another milder 4. From the sex 5. From the age of the patient 6. From the constitution 7. From the usages 1. From the rise for if the Countenance do not plainly speak the disease as by paint it may be much silenced yet it will give occasion to enquire whether they have not been carnally joyned to the venereous whether they have not been informed or had reason to believe that they descended of venereous parents one or both or had a venereous Nurse or she a venereous Child These may make the matter probable and prevent or strengthen other enquiries Otherwise the signes discovering are not certain and infallible but suspitious and conjecturall 2. Signes from the age of the disease fall under three Heads either as it is 1. Begun for at entrance they are all obscure and general and much common with other diseases as wearinesse without labour overthe whole body moveable pains in the head and body heavinesse or sloathfulnesse of all instruments of motion unlustfulnesse after sleep the colour of the face changing and growing darker If it entred by a defiled bed heat and sharpnesse of urine smart in the genitals heat in the reins dulnesse sadnesse 2. Growing on virulent running of the reins green yellow or towards black pains swellings soft tumors of of the privities one or all with increasing anguish Sometimes a little feavour without any great signes of putrefaction akeing of the periostia or by the bone pains increasing in the evening and later part of the night and enraged by the heat of the bed a little cough urine becomn sabulous pale smelling strong and rancid spermaticall matter floating on it ordure foeculent of various forms and colours towards green yellow black not onely in divers but in the same stool 3. Consummate and Confirmed are coldnesse of nature desirous of the fire a continued and setled pain of the head in some part of it tumors ulcers about the head flaccidity loosnesse of flesh and rottennesse of the privities tumours ulcers or both of the mouth which are sometimes crusty sometimes purulent sometimes callous whorsenesse of voice speaking through the palate or roof of the mouth and nose not opening their mouths wide to speak as formerly and finding it painfull so to do falling down of the nose and a stinking breath from the cariosity thereof falling of the hairs especially of the eye brows sometimes a painfull flying humour from the brain to the haemorhoid-veins and thence a recurrence to the brain hard knots in the legs arms neck or all rottennesse of the periostia and bones tumours and sharp pains about the cheek-bones ringing of the ears clefts of the hands feet and grievous tormenting pains throughout the whole body which becommeth emaciate appetite being decayed and concoction much weakned dimnesse of sight the colour of the eyes changed having lost their brightnesse and agility become slow of motion stinking loathsome slimy sweats tophous knots like those of the gout the colour of the skin becomming still more darksome squallid and like the countenance in a black Jaundies Buboes swelling out in the Inguina and sometimes falling in flying from place to place especially of the Emunctories Most commonly it appears in this order First by acrimony and sharpnesse of urine virulent running of the reins and sometimes not which is seldom This flowing women oft mistake for the Whites whereby the disease is let grow on unperceived Then pustules appear arising first about the genitalls next swelling gums knots Thence crusty sores white in the midst and red round about which being broken give case Then pains of the Head in the evening increasing After that buboes about the Inguina growing as big as Eggs. Then Tophous knots At length Ulcers of the Nose palate and cruell pains 3. Signes from the symptoms which ever at beginning are milder and afterwards more fierce This is the reason why the patient neglects the best season of Cure governing the care of his health by sense of pain which creeping on insensibly makes him think the distemper will spend it self and so wear away 4. Signes from the sex for the weaker sex have some benefit above the stronger to abate the disease by Child-bed and monthly clensings but a greater mischief by the passive and receptive formation of their bodies lodging virulent sperme and being of more soft and spungy bodies are more apt to receive contagion and have weaker humors and spirits to resist and repell the same And hence it is that the signes and symptoms before mentioned on them● do become more fierce and dolorous 5. Signes from the age of the Patient As more years are an advantage against infection old men do not so easily receive it and the signes and symptoms do not appear so fierce so have they thereby a greater disadvantage for if they are once seized it seldome departs but with Life 6. Signes from the constitution and temperament The Cholerick are soonest tanged the Melancholly most afflicted the sanguine make best resistance to infection and are best Cured the Phlegmatick have it lying longest in their humors all which must be taken into Consideration when you examine upon the signs before mentioned Lastly From the Usages The tender and idle take it soonest are most afflicted and with greatest difficulty Cured Contrarily laborious and dry bodies And thus you have a Catalogue of the signes not all for that were endlesse

open that way may be made for the speciall cure A method is to be taken from this distemper and all complications for it rarely goes alone and all other indications The fix things called not-naturall must be rightly ordered Venery for a season banished that so the Vires may be kept strong to expell a disease of long cure and short diet and lest by inflaming-motion of the body in coition the disease entred in one part be diffused Phlebotomy is in case of Plethory or fierce accidents to be used and not as is the manner of some in all venereous cures to breathe a vein presently Diaphoreticks in growen diseases are of great moment and require due management CHAP. XII Of the Cure in Speciall AS there are many methods of Speciall Cures so they may all be reduced to these two heads Reproved or Approved Methods Reproved are 1. By remedies common and not Specificall which find no obedience here or not without a greater mischief than benefit to Nature 2. The good cheap poor whore cure by Fontanels taken up from the practice of the poorer Spaniards amongst whom it is in common use whereby Nature findeth some ease disburthening part of the purulent matter but the fomes is left within to render their condition deplorate I am no friend to continued Issues which prevailed not in practise untill this disease brake into to Europe 3. By Mercuriall Unguent which may serve for Carriers and Porters robustious bodies and yet even in them the consequents render it perilous if not pernitious I know some are so ignorant and audacious that they make it their ordinary Champion setting upon every venereous patient with this dreadfull remedy as if no cure could be dispatched without it the effects of whose boldnesse many have mournfully carried to their graves What this Unguent is I need not expresse its composition is well known better than trusted to or delighted in by Artists For this Unguent rubb'd on the palms and plants of hands and feet is speedily carried to the head as appears by the floods of salivation that follow the use of it For its Mercury being an aerial spirituous body compacted as appeareth by its orbicular trembling motion as soon as it is attenuated and resolved by naturall heat breaks out of its compacture as fired powder out of a gun and naturally flying upwards is carried through veins and arteries to the brain with many vapours accompanying it which Vapours and Mercury there condensing are attenuated eliquated as a cloud for rain and through the palate are cast down to the mouth or stomack in salivation The truth of this appears to them who in salivation hold a piece of gold in their mouthes who find the spirits and vapours of the Mercury concreating hang about it as it doth about other solid bodies for its subtile flying spirits passe through the whole body and fix about the bones also who receive on themselves the substance and colour of the Mercury as in the mouth about the gold 4. By Mercuriall Cinnaber-fume which is yet more formidable and to such as have pectorall diseases short breath ill affected lungs are troubled with distillations weak bowells chollick pains dysenteries pernicious use what care you can Mercuriall aire will get in There being safe methods of cure let these be laid aside for scarce to any person are they used without the manifest offence and detriment of some bowell And though great pretenders may promise security in its use yet it is no wisdome to adventure your person upon every one's bold rash and ignorant confidence Melius est non prodesse quàm obesse Fierce accidents will all in Bold Empericks will promise much and perform little and will adventure upon what they cannot govern and therefore must needs abuse themselves and their patients I do not decry the right use of Mercury for take away Mercury Antimony and Vitriol you leave the Armory of Physick reproachfully weak The Methods of cure approved are 1. That by Treacles and Indian Alexipharmaca which in time and right use will take effect but this way is long and tedious 2. That by Antivenereall Magnets which is noble and to be rested in sure potent and effectuall to draw out the venereous matter which let none despise because they do not understand by such hints Dii laboribus omnia vendunt The Last is that by Sympatheticall application which saveth the patients much trouble and useth nature in her most sublime and noblest activities These two last Methods of cure let the weaker sex especially take notice of whose more tender bodies and feeble spirits render them more unable to bea the more rough and difficult wayes of cure These are methods which many men of great attainments otherwise through pride and unthankfullnesse have rendred themselves uncapable of What the Magneticks are how applied and by what causality they operate what the Sympatheticks to be chosen are and by what symmetry oneness and community of spirit they have their effect or whereby their causality is hindred or set on motion longa dies docuit every one is not fit to receive it nor would understand if they were told nor could apply if they understood The learned unprejudiced may inform themselves If any one find a new spring issuing out of Parnassus reason will that he first drink the waters thereof The effect will best commend the work and the patients Euge's the cure and that 's enough to secure against the mad tooth of detraction and silence the charge of Novelty the strength whereof others famous in their generation have broken to my hands For who knowes not that the opinion of the Circulation of the blood is new and thereupon the doctrine of Feavers fundamentally new the way of the Chyle new the sanguification of the heart veins masse of blood it selfe new the proper work of the Liver new the Chymicall anatomy of all mixt bodies new the whole frame and face of naturall Philosophy new and yet the Assertors of these not despised by any but proud Stoicks whom no reason can perswade that they are men Physick came in at first Empirically though it stood not so and by induction of manifold experience it was brought into Precepts and Principles And had the way of improving experience been longer stood on and Physick too soon not taught to systematize it had better improved and fewer breaches been made on its doctrine to the greater honour of the Art and its Professors and benefit of Patients But this practicall Art must be like speculative Sciences and take a body of generall Principles before they be found side digna sufficient causes of Conclusion But had they been such the Fabrick had been firmer It is true and cannot be denyed that naked Experience not supported by weighty Reason is but a dwarf and can do little nay is often mischievous but they that joyne both together will find them a fortresse strong enough to abide the battery of calumny If in these methods of cure I walk in paths lesse trodden yet since my foundation is purest Philosophy I shall say for my selfe Salve amicum lumen I will not with some others contra rationem insanire All the satisfaction I shall in conclusion give the Reader and that will satisfie the sober and modest is to remit him to that of Seueca Multi ad sapientiam pervenire potuissent nisi putassent se pervenisse Multum egerunt qui ante nos fuerunt sed non peregerunt Multum adhuc restat operae multumque restabit neque ulli nato post mille secula praecidetur occasio aliquid adhuc adjiciendi THE CONTENTS Chap I.
