as is convenient and prevent accidents But first it 's important to extract the Bullet if you can since it is its progress which marks the place which is to be dilated If you cannot follow the track which it has taken without making an Incision How to extract the Bullet you put the Patient into the same posture he was in when wounded that you may easier trace the Bullet and observe the place where it stops you afterwards dilate the Wound minding two Circumstances 1. You must avoid the great Vessels 2. You must not discover the Tendons of the Joynts without necessity If the Bullet be engaged near some great Vessels When to leave the Bullet in or in the middle of the Muscles so that it cannot be extracted without causing some ill effect you may leave it in the part provided the Patient be not much incommoded with it If it be in any of the Venters you must leave it to Nature If it stick in the Bones you must gently move it to draw it out more easily because the Bone would of necessity putrifie If it be in the Nervous parts as in the Joynts you must hasten its extraction particularly when it 's sharp or of any corruptible Matter for then you must not only extract it from the Nervous parts but every part whatever You extract the strong Bodies by Attraction or by Impulsion with the Hand Instruments or Medicines according to the part they lie in If for Example a Bullet be passed the great Vessels you will be obliged to extract it from the opposite part but if it be on this side you extract it through its entrance Nevertheless that general Rule hath its exception for if some strange Body be upon the Carpus or Tarsus forc't from without inward and should have passed the Bones It would be a great temerity to Incise the bending Tendons of the Fingers to force a passage through the opposite In that case you must extract it by the same way it went it If the Bullet has ruin'd a Joynt you must cut off the part because the Ligaments and Bones being quite split to pieces and their Splinters irritating the Tendons it causes a Gangrene to seize presently on the part If the Bone of the Thigh be broken you must dilate the Wound as much as is convenient and advance the Suppuration that you may have the liberty of extracting some pieces of the separate Bones if there be any Of the rest you follow the same method as in other Compound Wounds If there be any Vessels open'd as the Subclavian Vessels you make the Ligature and if some Blood be diffused upon the Diaphragm you must come to the Operation of Empiema If the Bullet has carried off a great part of the Bone as we cannot cut proportionably so much Flesh as the substance of the Bone lost for to convey Remedies thither it happens that the Flesh that grows over it becomes callous and sometimes ossified forasmuch as the salt Juice which runs this way hardens it by little and little If the Trunk of a great Vessel be opened we are often obliged to Amputate the part because the part which receives no more Blood for its nourishment Gangrenates If the Wound be only in the Flesh you may bath it presently after the first dressing with Brandy you soak Boulsters in it and bind up the part with Compresses soaked in warm Wine strengthen'd with Spirit of Wine Accidents which attend The chiefest accidents that accompany Gunshot Wounds are Tumours Putrefaction and Hemorrhagy to dissipate the swelling we successfully use Traumatic Fomentations mixt with Spirit of Wine or Cataplasms made of Urine Rye Meal Hony and Infusion of Roses or a Lye made of Vine-Ashes in which you dissolve Sal Armoniac and Brandy If the Tumour be not big Suppuration is enough to carry it off If it be accompanied with hardness you make some slight Scarifications To excite Suppuration in these kinds of Wounds you use a Digestive made of Vngt Basilicon Linament Arcei Ol. ovor Spirit Vini If Corruption be joined you add Theriac Myrrh Aloes Sal Armoniac Ol. Absinth Anthi as you fear the Corruption you animate them the more If the Putrefaction happen to a fleshy and spongy part you dissolve Egyptiac in Spirit of Wine and mix it with the Digestive Egyptiac not to be used in Nervous parts For Egyptiac being entirely a Dissicative if it were used in Nervous parts that are wont to dry up it would dissipate the little humidity that remains there If you use Injections it 's best to use the two Aristolochias boiled in White Wine in which you dissolve Sugar Candy Camphire Myrrh and Theriac Bitter things not to be used in Injections of the Breast You must observe that Injections as well as other Remedies must be managed with prudence according to the parts where they are used Ex. Gr. If you Inject into the Breast of one troubled with an Empiema a bitter and sharp Liquor it would irritate the part so that they would augment the accidents in the like occasion we use with good success a Decoction of Barley Agrimony a very little Wormwood and Centaury Plantain Birthwort in which you dissolve Mel. Rosar If this needs to be fortified you boil them in Whitewine or Brandy The Tincture of Persicaria Maculata made with White wine is also good to resist Putrefaction if you intend to make it stronger you dissolve Myrrh Aloes and Sal Armoniac in Brandy and mix with it the Solution of Sal Armoniac in Spirit of Wine which produces the same effect and to hinder the generation of new Corruption you compass the Dressing with Spirit of Wine Camphorated The Solution of a Drachm of Mercurius sublimate or Arsnic in half a Pint of Spirit of Wine is excellent in great Putrefactions or one Ounce of Mercury in two Ounces of Aquafortis which we mix with Lime Water or Brandy We also use with very good success in these occasions the Solution of the Canstic Stone in Brandy which we mix with the same quantity of Spirit of Wine Camphorated All these Solutions are capable to waste and separate putrified and rotten Flesh and also to consume the Cariosity of Bones After the effect of all these Remedies you use Detorsive Decoctions made of red Roses Consolid Maj. Quinquesolium Plantain Agrimony Nettles Pimpernell Periwinckle St. Johns Wort Purslain Plantain and Poppy Seed with which you slightly siringe the Wound so separate the rest of the Impurities that are there When you use Detersives you ordinarily joyn Suppuratives with them as Turpentine Vnguent ex apto Balsam Arcei Ol. Hyperici If the Wound has long suppurated and the Flesh grows Luxuriant you consume it with the Spirit of Sulphure put in the Mundificative If it be the Humidity of the part which causes this proud Flesh to grow instead of the Mundificative you use Allom Water or the Aq. Phagedenica or the Decoction of the Traumatic Plants made with Lime Water or Lastly Linamentum Arcei mixt with Myrrh and Fine Bole in Powder THE END BOOKS Printed for and sold by Daniel Brown at the Black-Swan and Bible without Temple-Bar THE Secrets of the Famous Lazarus Riverius Councellor and Physician to the French King and Professor of Physick in the University of Montpelier Newly Transsated from the Latin by E.
