V. Of the Falling Sickness THe Falling Sickness is a Convulsion or for the most part a praeternatural motion of the whole body and most commonly depriveth the Patient both of Reason and Sense There are three differences in this Distemper The first is caused when this Disease cometh only through the disease in the Brain as it falleth out when sharp Choler or gross and tough Flegm doth obstruct the passage of the Spirit in the Ventricle of the Brain and if this distemper cometh of a gross humour it doth suddenly seize upon the Patient and is quickly gone again The second Cause is through an evil affect in the Orifice of the Stomack that may be when the Brain laboureth to expel the Vapours that arise up to it from the Stomack The third cause is from Vapours which ascend by consent from most parts of the Body or else from some particular Member which the Patient may perceive like to cold Air creeping up to the Brain but this doth but seldom happen The signs of the Falling sickness are many in some sadness and forgetfulness c. in others a foolish state both of Body and Mind troublesome dreams the Head-ach and fullness in it more especially in passion or anger the Face commonly pale and the motion of the Tongue inordinate and oftentimes they bite it As soon as this Disease seizeth upon the Patient he falls down and is plucked up together he snorts and sometimes cries out many tremble and turn round The only sign of this Disease is foaming at the Mouth which happens most to Children and young people In the fit of the Falling Sickness as soon as the Patient falleth down open his Mouth with a stick the haft of a Knife or with the handle of a Spoon and after his Mouth is made clean by taking away the foam with a Rag or Feather give him to drink the following Julip Take the distilled Water of Lavender three Spoonfulls Syrup of Cowslips one Ounce Spirit of Vitriol or the Oyl of the same well rectified 20. Drops beingmixed together give it as afore directed The Chymical Oyl of Angelica given in the foresaid Water and Syrup doth also take away the Fit Or Take Red Coral Pearl prepared of each half a Scruple Vnicorns Horn two Scruples the Skull of a man hanged or killed by chance half a Dram the Roots and Seeds of Peony of each half a Scruple Musk three or four Grains being mixed and made into fine Powder give to the Patient in the Fit from half a Dram to two Scruples or a whole Dram to the stronger sort first infused for a small time in the distilled Water of Lavender Or Take white Helleber Marjoram of each one Scruple Castor and Euphorbium of each four Grains being mixed and made into fine Powder blow a small quantity at a time through a Quill up into the Patients Nostrils Or Take the Seeds of Nigella half a Dram Nutmegs Peony Roots Mumma of each 10 Grains dryed Marjorum six Grains Musk two Grains all being made into Powder blow it up into the Nostrils as afore directed Those and such like I will assure you are

the Chapter of Ulcers in the Reins are also very profitable in this Disease Or take Mastick Red Corral Dragons-Blood White Amber Camphir of each two drams Agnus Castus three drams two Nutmegs Cinamon one dram being made into fine Powder mix them together and make it up into Pills with one ounce of Cypress-Turpentine whereof let the Patient take five at a time first and last Or take Gum Guaicum and Turpentine washed in Plantane-water of each one ounce the Powder of Galls so much as is sufficient to make the rest up into Pills which you may take as afore directed But attempt none of these or such-like Medicines until such time the Body be very well purged lest the Remedy prove worse than the Disease And to avoid trouble purge with my Pills for they will effect your desire CHAP. XXXII Of the FRENCH POX THe POX is a Contagious or Infectious Disease and undoubtedly for the most part gotten by Carnal Copulation with corrupt and unclean VVomen and may well be called The very Plague of Venus Some years past there was but little knowledge of it among us but now it is become frequent and daily bringeth with it many horrid and detestable Evils and very sad and troublesome accidents which in the beginning is but small yet in process of time the Patient wanting an honest and able Physician groweth to such a height that it doth not only corrupt the Humours and Spirits but exceedingly offend the Nerves Membranes Tendons Flesh and Bones and at length destroys all other parts of the Body perverting the Temperature and whole substance thereof from whence proceedeth divers sorts of Excrements This most sinful and cursed Disease is very occult and doth lie hid in the Body many months before it is perfectly discovered And the principal Part affected is the Liver as may appear by the natural Actions for in the Stomach there is an evil Concoction from whence ariseth a vast alteration of Colour a great indisposition of Body the Appetite to the sports of Venus as it were altogether dejected or lost it hath relation to the whole substance of the Liver rather than to the Heart or Brain and it doth assault the natural spirits rather than the vital and animal which being corrupt must needs infect the Liver from whence followeth shedding of hair itching about the privy parts filthy stinking Ulcers and virulent Gonorrhea's c. The Cause of this most silthy Disease Is a sordid and malignant quality containing in it self a very profound Contagion communicated from one person infected to another by Carnal Copulation with foul Women as afore-mentioned and the parts serving for Generation are for the most part infected first by reason of their tender and pure substance and in the like manner this malignant quality is communicated to the Mouth and Throat and to the Skin and the more weak the natural Faculties and Virtues of the Liver are the sooner doth it infect from whence it often falls out that many using one filthy VVoman are as it were all infected but such men who have their natural Faculties vigorous or strong are not so soon infected The Signs of this most horrible Disease Are Buboes in the Groin Pustules and Ulcers in the Yard and Urinary Passages after which doth follow a light poysonous matter with a kind of Distillation and burning or scalding heat in the Urine sometimes accompanied with a Gonnorrhea the Patient most commonly is sorely tormented with violent pain in the Head Neck Shoulders Arms Back Knees Legs and Shin-Bones spots not onely in the Head and about the Temples but in several other parts of the Body do often arise which are sometimes red and sometimes yellow which will for a short time be gone and then return again and then become more virulent which doth at last corrode or eat the Skin from whence ariseth many other filthy Ulcers not only in the Throat but in the Mouth Tongue Jaws and Nostrils c. 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. Whether Bleeding may be safely attempted or not the matter is not great However let the Patient be purged sufficiently with either of the fore-mentioned Electuaries ☞ Or with my Cathartique and Diuretique Pills which by large Experience are well known to be most powerful with the Use of my Arcanum Vitae to expel this contagious Disease not onely at the beginning thereof but in such that have been tainted therewith some years Many make use of the Pills made as followeth Take Pills of Exduobus and Extract of Rudii of each one dram Mercurius Dulcis two scruples with a sufficient quantity of Oyl of Cloves make them up into twenty Pills whereof take two at night and three in the morning repeating the same as need require Or take the Powder of Colocinthis Jallap Diagredium and Crude Antimony of each half an ounce Crude Mercury run through Sheeps Leather six drams being mortified with a sufficient quantity of Venice-Turpentine by beating them in a Mortar for three or four hours with a small quantity of the Oyl of Cloves make thereof a mass for Pills Or take Crude Mercury run through Leather as afore-directed one ounce and a half the best Aloes Diagredium Colocinthis and Jallap of each half an ounce Saffron three drams the sweet Oyl of Lavender-Flowers one dram with a sufficient quantity of Venice-Turpentine washed in Rose-VVater make them up into a mass for
