III. Erysipelas ERysipelas is a Tumor besides Nature from Choler thrown forth for the most part only into the Skin it self sometimes on the subjacent Muscles causing Pain Heat and other Symptoms Difference 'T is perfect when sprung from Choler alone as it is imperfect when Blood Phlegm or Melancholy is mixt with it from whose Appellation it likewise takes its name and is called Erysipelas Phlegmonodes Oedematodes Scirrhodes sometimes an Ulcer is joined with it which sometimes consumes only the Skin other times the Flesh it self Cause is Choler seldom alone sometimes mixt with Phlegm and Melancholy but oftentimes with Blood or Serum whence those Medicines that are proper for a Phlegmon oftentimes do good in an Erysipelas Signs Great heat sharp pain Redness mixt with Yellowness easily giving way to the touch but as suddenly returning the Swelling and Extention of the part little and the Pulsation lesser which last gave occasion to Authors of questioning whether an Erysipelas ought to be reckoned amongst Tumors It is accompanied always with a Fever except from an External Cause Prognosticks An Erysipelas is seldom dangerous except the Matter be repell'd from the External parts to the Internal yet more dangerous when it seizeth on the Noble Parts and Jaws and when a Wound Fracture Dislocation or Putrefaction are join'd with it Cure What concerns Diet here is first and chiefly to be considered Air Meat and Drink must be cooling all sharp hot fat and sweet things hurt as likewise do too great Motion of the Body Watchings Costiveness Venery and Anger Purging is very necessary therefore those Medicines described in the third Chapter of the first Part are here convenient A perfect Erysipelas admits not of Bleeding for the fatness of the Blood bridles the sharpness of the Choler But if the Fever be vehement the Flux great and any Blood which for the most part happens be mingled with the Choler 't is convenient to bleed especially in Plethorick Bodies In delicate and weak Bodies Cupping-Glasses with Scarification or Leeches if things should require will serve These being thus done to provoke Sweat is the best of all other Remedies Outwardly to the affected part ought not to be applied 1. Oyl or any fat thing as those things which yield matter to the Choler easily increase Putrefaction But if yet it is your pleasure to use them they must be tempered by mixing them with other Medicines 2. Repellents except the Erysipelas be very little the Part affected remote from the Noble Part and the Humors be yet flowing and then they ought not to be used without Resolvents mixt with them The Cataplasms described in the foregoing Chapter may for the most part be applied here with success The Plaister of Diapalma dissolved in Vinegar is in dayly use the leaves of Tobacco Colewort and Henbane applied to the part affected strongly draw forth the heat There are those which use Sheeps dung boiled in Wine-Vinegar as also the Flowers of Camomil Mellilot and Elders boyl'd in new Milk Chalk powdred put upon the Part laying Cap-paper over it quickly and safely Cures The following Fomentations I have experienced to be of great Virtue Take Red Myrrhe powdred two drams Saccarum Saturni one dram Camphire a Scruple Opium 25 grains White-Wine six ounces Let Linnen Clothes be dipt in it and applyed warm to the Part often renewing them when dryed or cold Another Take the white Troches of Rhasis one dram Camphire one Scruple Spirit of Wine an ounce Elder-water six ounces Mingle and apply it as before Fumes of Mastick and Frankincense may likewise be used five or six times a day especially if the Erysipelas be in the Face When an Ulcer accompanies it Take the white Troches of Rhasis two drams Red Mirrhe Litharge of Gold of each a dram Flower of Brimstone half a dram Sarcocol two Scruples whites of Eggs as much as is sufficient to make it into a Linament CHAP. IV. Of Oedema OEdema is a Tumor beside Nature arising from Pituitous Matter white soft without pain oftner caused by Congestion than by Fluxion Difference It is perfect when it proceeds only from Phlegm Imperfect when mixt with other Humors Thus Oedema Phegmonodes Erysipelatodes Schirrhodes Cause is Phlegm sometimes alone sometimes confused with other Humors for the most part it is produced from the ill disposition of the Limphaeducts Signs are Whiteness Softness yielding to the Fingers little Pain and less Pulsation Prognosticks If an Oedema degenerate into a Scirrhus or Abscess it is hard of Cure It is dangerous if a Consumption or Dropsie accompany it it oftner happens in old People Phlegmatick bodies in the Winter time and in all those who with immoderate eating and drinking continually debilitate the natural heat Cure This as the precedent Tumors requires a good Diet Meat and Drink as also the Air must be moderately hot and dry Rosted Meat is better than Boiled Fruit Cheese and Fish hurt as also too great a quantity of Meat and Drink Wine either of it self or altered with hot Herbs is good moderate Exercises of the body before Meals is as profitable as much Sleep especially diurnal is prejudicial Costiveness Rest and Sadness are Noxious Bleeding is altogether here unprofitable and very seldom used but Sweating and Purging very necessary sometimes Vomiting Always regard must be had to the Stomach To the Tumor it self In the beginning we apply Repelling Medicines mixt with Discussives but so that the

again but if great not so easily yielding to the touch not so strong a Pulsation but there is a noise observed as of boiling Water yet in the Head and Jaw I have found after death an Aneurism which while the man was alive there could be no Pulse perceived In the hard parts is greater Circumspection to be used than in the soft and fleshy Prognosticks It is difficultly cured if great not at all except with the taking off the Member for the most part it is a long Disease although I have seen it kill without any other accidental Cause within two years If Incision be made Death suddenly follows Cure In the beginning there may be some Hopes Astringents and Repellents and convenient Ligatures by which we do not seldom administer something of Remedy to the Patient as also the applying a piece of Lead straightly bound on have sometimes cured little Aneurisms But where the Tumor is encreased there are some would have the Skin divided and the Artery tied both above and below and cut out the middle with the Tumor and loosen not the Ligatures till the Wound is perfectly cured and there is no fear of an Hemorrage but this Operation is dangerous painful and troublesome and oft-times of little Benefit But to preserve Life I would take off the Member CHAP. XVII Of Opthalmia OPthalmia is an Inflammation of the Membranes of the Eye from Blood with Redness Pain and shedding of Tears Difference A light Inflammation and which depends from external Causes is called a Bastard Opthalmia Taraxis or Epiphora but a great Inflammation accompanied with pain and tears a true Opthalmia And if it be so great that the Eye-lids are so inflamed and as it were turned inward 't is called Chemosis Causes are two 1. Internal as Blood oft-times mixt with Serum or Choler seldom with Phlegm or Melancholy 2. External as Smoak Dust c. Signs vary according to the variety of Causes If it proceed from too great a quantity of Blood the Face looks red and the Vessels of the Eyes are extended If either from more of Serum or Choler the Redness of the Face is less but the Tears are more sharp and the pain greater if from more of Phlegm the reddish pain Heat and Acrimony of Tears are more remiss and the Eye-lids at night are as it were glewed together If from any thing of Melancholy there are but few Tears and the Eye-lids are not closed together the Inflammation is not great but stubborn Prognosticks An Opthalmia is flower cured in Children than in old people Continual pain menaceth Blindness by how much greater the Inflammation is so much the more dangerous it is Cure The Diet must be the same as in a Phlegmon all sharp things are carefully to be avoided as Garlick Radishes Mustard c. little or no Suppers profit Purging the use of Glisters Bleeding ought to be oft-times re-iterated as also Cupping-Glasses Leeches Blisters sometimes also Seatons Issues and Artereotomy it self which is not to be done by any but an expert Chirurgeon Sneezing is hurtful Provoking of Sweat is sometimes necessary sometimes not which the Physician must distinguish Dieureticks are of great use provided they are not too hot External Remedies vary according to the variety of Causes if from Smoke or Fire let them be extinguished If from Dust or any thing got into the Eyes 't is to be taken forth which is often performed by blowing or by the spurting in of Rose-water If from the inversion of the Eye-lids the Hairs are to be cut off or wholly to be pull'd out If the Eye-lids are glew'd together they are to be separated with Butter Beer or Cream the Rheum is gently to be wiped and let the Patient have a Care lest by the rubbing of his Eyes he increaseth his Disease Fat things are here hurtful Repellent Medicines except in the very beginning are not to be used or in a very slight Opthalmia Medicines good for the Eyes Roots of Valerian Solomons-Seal Orrise Vervain Herbs Betony Celandine the great Eyebright Fennel Fumitory Plantain Flowers of Roses Violets Anni-seeds Quince-seeds Linseeds Pippins boil'd or rotten Camphire Mussilage of Lin-seeds Tragacanth Fresh Veal Whites of Eggs all sorts of Milk especially Womans Tutty white and green Vitriol Saccharum Saturni Glass of Antimony White Troches of Rhasis fresh Cheese not salted Ung.

VI. Of Burns BUrning is a Solution of Continuity caused by an External burning-Matter always hurting the Scarf-skin for the most part the Skin and sometimes also the Muscles Veins Nerves and Tendons Difference It admits of three sorts 1. Sometimes there is a Heat and Pain at least in the Part affected caused from burning and except Remedies are presently applied the Scarf-skin is separated and divided from the Skin and Blisters are raised which contains in them clear Water 2. Sometimes the Skin it self is burnt then presently a Blister is raised but no Escar made 3.
