mans bloud dryed into powder will stench the bloud the wound being filled also if need require you may binde the extreame parts or open a veine in the contrary part as if the right Arme be wounded open a veine in the left you may cautorize the place wet Lint in Vinegar or a cloath wet in Vinegar and put about the Codds hath been used with good effect besides all these Gerrard in his Herball speakes of an Herbe called Clownes all-heale that was found out by a Mower which wounded himselfe with his Sithe dangerously he not having any Chirurgion neare by accident gathered an Herbe which stenched the bloud and after made a Medicine of the same Herbe and healed the wound this being knowne to Gerrard he called it Clownes all heale this I have proved Also it hapned that I was comming from Winchester I met with a Souldier comming from a Fight neare Ailsford which was wounded largely in the neck so that the Flux of bloud could not be stopped I remembered an Herbe shewed me by an old Midwife that groweth in shadowed places I searched under an Apple-tree and found the same Herbe and gathered a handfull and rubbed it in my hands and filled the wound there-with it stenched immediat●y after I made a Salve of the same Herbe and cured the wound in 14. dayes only I annoynted it with Oyle of Hipericon the second dressing and gave directions to him to doe likewise the same Souldier came to my dwelling in 14. dayes perfectly whole and gave me thankes this I have often proved since that time the name of the Herbe is Archangel or dead Nettle which carryeth a purple Flower this I made triall of when all other Medicines could not be gotten I write this because any Country people and Souldiers may finde this Herbe when Chirurgions be not present and other Medicines farre distant unlesse the Souldier carry them in his Knap-sack and the Country-man keepe them in his Closet untill time of need 15 Of Wounds VVOunds in generall are according to the severall Members as wounds in the head face neck shoulders and armes c. but Wounds chiefly to be observed are two that is Mortall and Curable also wounds curable may be made mortall by ignorant Chirurgions therefore I wish all men to hasten to an able Chirurgion As wounds that are mortall is in the Braine the Heart the stomack the small Guts and the Bladder neverthelesse I wish all Chirurgions not to neglect the meanes for I have seen Gods mercy wonderfully shewn in giving strength to Nature when the judgement of man faileth As touching wounds superficiall or deep after the Flux of bloud is stopped as before directed and that your Chirurgion cannot be had first consider whether there be any dislocation of bones or fractures or whether any veines Arteries sinews ligaments tendons or Muscels be wounded if you finde any of these you must proceed to the Cure very carefully or else you may make that wound gangred or rotten which at the first might be cured this I have seen by ignorant people applying hot Medicines to hot and chollerick wounds and cold Medicines to the cold causes as Hemlock Henbane and such others which I omit and come to show you whether there be any Dislocation or Fracture First compare one member with the other as if the shoulder be depressed it will be lower then the other neither can the party lift it to his head if the elbow be out of joynt the hand cannot be turned about neither wil it be like the other for the reducing of such a member hasten to your Bone-setter but in his absence if such a thing happen in the fingers toes or the elbow two men grasping the member very fast a third man directing them to pull in the joynt and the said third man with his right thumbe upon the place the left hand turning the member into his right place which the Patient will soone finde ease if rightly performed Further if the shoulder be out let that man put his arme over the round of a Ladder or over the head of another man that is higher then he that is dislocated the Chirurgion or he that setteth the joynt put both his thumbs to the place a second minister or two holding fast the lame Arme over the Ladder or over the same mans head so the sick may be above the ground and the weight of his body with this help may reduce this joynt into his proper place many other wayes there are but I omit and come to Fractures which must be very diligently placed if in the thigh or above the elbow where is but one bone it may be broke short off so the member wil be shorter then the other this must be drawn into his proper place as before is shewed if riven or shaken into splinters they must be all placed and bound up in some frame or spleets past-board or Iron made according to the form of the member if wounded through the flesh there must be a place left for the dressing of the wound and an implaister made with Bolearmonick Terra sigilata Gum Dragagante Dragons bloud whites of Eggs laid upon Flax and applyed round the member grieved put into the wound Oyle of Elder and Oyle of Hipericon also make Tents with Lint rowled in the same Oyle but be sure make them so that you leave none of them behind when you take them out of the wound above all be sure that no dust nor haires fall in the wound nor Lint left behind that commeth off the Tent also there must be care had of wounds of dry bodies and of moyst bodies as tender bodies are more moyst then those that labour and travell if you finde them to be moyst bodies you may use drying powders as Bolearmoniack if proud flesh or dead flesh then use burnt Allum or Precipitat or you may make this powder Rec.

Balaustia ℥j make this into fine powder and it will incarn wounds if you finde the wound to be dry you may use the said oyle of Hipericon oyle of Lillies if the sinews be wounded oyle of Elder is very good To preserve a wound from Imposthumation Rec of Mallowes Beets Violet leaves and Landebeef of each a handful boyle them until they be soft then put in oyle of Roses and white Lillies make a Cataplasme or Poultis with Roses Rye meale or Barley
