Commonly the Hair of the Head and Beard falls off and there doth frequently appear in the Forehead and other parts of the Head Joynts and upon the Shin-Bones Nodes Knots or hard Tumours not easily to be dissolved nor cured which doth in time corrupt the very Bones and Marrow contained therein the Patient takes little rest because the pains are more violent in the night than in the day These and such like are in brief the true Symptoms or Signs of the Pox which doth not appear in all alike but in some Constitutions after one manner and in others after another Which Disease if newly taken admits of an easie Cure In order to which observe the following method Take Cassia newly extracted Syrup of Roses solutive of each half an ounce the Electuary of the Juice of Roses two drams Mercurius Dulcis ten grains with a sufficient quantity of the Distilled Water of Fumatory make a Potion thereof which take in the morning fasting Or take Confectio Hamech six drams Venice-Turpentine well washed in Rose-Water two drams Mercurius Dulcis well prepared ten grains mix them and take it as afore-directed Or take the Lenitive Electuary and Benedicta Laxativa of each three drams Mercurius Dulcis ten grains Salt of Tartar five grains being mixed together take it as aforesaid repeating the same or either of the former two or three times After which open the Liver Vein in the Right Arm the Patient not having Buboes in the Groin if so Bleeding will do much harm in drawing back the Contagion to the Liver causing the Disease to be more dangerous and painful c.
