within the same as the heart lungs midriff and the vessels as the vena cava i. e. the hollow vein and the ascending Arterie c. or not if they pierce which is known if you hold a Candle to the part stopping the Patients mouth and nose his breath will come forth with a noise and the flame of Candle will be moved as in a small wind and sometimes quite blown out and if other parts be wounded in piercing they are known by their proper signs as if there gush out much bloud there follow a general trembling over the whole body swooning and cold sweats a very weak and small pulse and if the limbs grow cold the heart is wounded and death is not far off If bloud issue out foamie and froathy the Patient be troubled with a Cough and hath a great difficulty in breathing and a pain in his side which he had not before if he feel a pain on the wounded side yet lyes more at ease when he lyes upon that side and sometimes lying so he speaks in more ease and freedome but turn to the contrary side he presently cannot speak or with great pain and difficulty all these are signs that the lungs are wounded and they are very difficult to be cured If the Patient be taken with raving called delirium Cough and sharp pain with difficulty of breathing and a Feaver trouble the Patient and at some times through vehemency of breathing the stomach and guts are drawn through the wound into the Cavity of the breast all these are signs that the Midriff is deadly wounded If you perceive or understand bloud to be poured forth into the Cavity or hollowness of the breast and breathing difficult Feaver increasing through difficulty of breathing Vomiting bloud at the mouth and afterward the breath stinks and fainting as also the Patient cannot lye upon his back and has des●re to vomit and now and then to rise and sit up and thereupon often falls into a sound all these shew that the vessels are wounded and death will ensue Now to assist your Patient as much as you can by art in these wounds of the breast lay your Patient naked in Bed with the wound downwards that the matter may be discharged by his coughing and holding his breath if he feel no weight in the lower part of his breast or be not troubled with spitting of bloud use no tents but drop in Arceus his Linement with Oyl of St. Johns wort compound or some artificial Balsome and upon them apply the Diapalma-plaister But if there was much bloud in the cavity and if it be cast out then use a Flamula dipt in the white of an Egg the greater part hanging out of the wound afterwards use this Injection Take four ounces of

points or else cut them quite off if there be many Splinters after you have restored them try to knit them together with a medicine made of Wheat-flower Dragons-blood Bol-armonack Frankinsence all made into powder mixt with the white of Eggs and ther apply it putting splints thereupon covered with soft linnen rags armed with the same Medicine and then lay a bolster dipt in the same upon each side and one thicker then the other upon the place that is broken and bunches out to keep it so then roll the part with the roller of a hands breadth and two els and a half long cross wayes filling his Arm-pits especially that next to the broken-bone In rolling drawing his arm somewhat backwards and do not unroll until the seventh day unless necessity urge The Shoulder-blade may be broken either in the ridge thereof which may be perceived by an unequality being compared to the other sound part or else may be broken on each side and then there is a Cavity or Hollowness to be perceived or else it may be broken in that part where the shoulder is knit and joyned together to it here if the splints or fragments stick to the bone and doe not prick the flesh they are to be restored to their former state and place and so kept with the glutinating Medicines and such as beget the substance called a Callus as hath been before mentioned and rollers and bolsters fit for the purpose But if the fragments doe not stick fast to the bone and prick the fleshy parts about them and so cause ill symptoms then cut open the flesh and with your Forceps or Crows-beak or such like instrument and so take them out yet they are not to be taken out though you may move them up and down if they stick fast to the membran Concerning the bone called Periostium and the Ligaments prick not the Muscles so cause not pain for it may come to pass that they may grow to the bones adjoyning But if they be wholly parted and stick not to the Periostium then they must be plucked away unless you conceive that Nature will be strong enough to drive them forth of it self those fractures that happen in the neck of the shoulder-blade or joining of it to the shoulder are seldom recoverable by reason of the many large Vessels as the Axillary-vein and Arterie and Nerves about this place which are subject to Inflammation and putrifaction whence grievous symptoms and oftentimes death it self insues by reason of the neerness and communication of the heart and other principal parts these bones usually knit together within four and twenty dayes space The Breast-bone is sometimes broken sometimes prest-in onely without being broken if you perceive an inequality by your feeling the bones crackling at the thrust of the finger it shews the bone is broken but a manifest hollowness in the part as spitting of blood Cough difficulty of breathing argue the depression of the bone only sometimes both for restoring of this Bone whether it be broken or depressed or thrust in onely without being broken you must order such Patient after the same manner as in fractures of the Coller-bone pressing the Ribs on both sides and so set the bone with your hand to the part apply formerly described fitting Medicines to asswage pain with bolsters fastned thereto with a Ligature made cross-waies above the shoulder being not too straight lest it hinder the Patient from breathing The Ribs may be broken either inwardly or outwardly the first is deadly the latter is discerned as well by uneveness of the part as noise in touching to restore which those which are inward let the Patient lye upon his sound-side apply this following plaister to the broken part Take one ounce of wheat-flower half an ounce of Ising-glass being dissolved in Scabies and Poppy-water powder of Mastick Frankinsence Dragons-blood Gypsum and Farena Volatil as much as will serve to make a plaister being boyled to a good substance in Red-poppy-water apply this hot spread upon a strong cloth with two strings fastned in the middle pull it off quickly and with great force after it hath laid on a good while so that the Rib with your plucking may come to its former place this is to be done so often till he find himself better and breathe freely and with more ease then anointing with oyl of Roses apply that Pultis till the eighth day spoken of at the beginning of the cure of Fractures if there happen a swelling it must not be neglected but resolved with such fit Medicines as this and the like Take Barley and Bean-flower of each two ounces the flower of Cammomil Mellilot Elder of each one ounce boyl them in sufficient quantity of water when they are boyled enough put to them oyle of Cammomil and Roses of each one ounce if the swelling cannot be made to vannish with this or the like medicine but it shall come to apostumate then it must be speedily opened lest the matter contained within the Aposthume rot the bone afterwards cure it according to art But if the pricking continue and so cause pain and inflamation cut open the flesh as before and take out the fragments and cure up the wound as you have heard often before The Back-bones are sometimes broken sometimes bruised or strained on the inside whence it comes to pass that the membrans which encompass the marrow of the Back-bone and sometime the marrow it self being oppressed there follow many malign symptoms as Palsie numness of the Arms Legs Fundament and bladder which quite take away or else diminish the faculty of feeling or moving so that their urine and excrements come from them without their knowledge or will or else they are wholly stop'd which when it happens because the marrow of the Back-bone is hurt you may fore-know that death is at hand After you have so prognosticated you may cut open the flesh to take out the splinters of the rack bones of the back which if you cannot do you shall at leastwise apply such medicines as are sit for asswaging pain and hindring Inflamation then put the broken bones into their places and so keep them by applying two pieces of wood of four fingers long and one fingers thickness more or less wrapt in linnen cloaths one on each side of the broken rack bones of the back and so with your hands press them against the broken bones till you put them again into their proper places if the processes or bunchings out of the rack-bone of the Back be only broken you shall put the fragments into their places unless they be quite parted from their periostium or membran that covers them If they be open the skin and take them forth then heal the wound according to art After the same manner are fractures of the Os sacrum or holy bone to be ordered Fractures of the Rump-bones are to be put in their places by putting your finger into the Patients Fundament
