boyled againe and againe strayned and because of the dregges which will be strayned out therfore must the dose of your gummes bee increased being thus used let them bee put into a cleane pan upon a gentle fire untill they be thicke Put your Linseed oyle and Sallet oyle into another panne and put to them the litarge of gold and silver and let them boyle ever stirring them untill the oyle be coloured then put in the Calaminaris in powder and a little after adde the red lead working them together for almost two houres and untill they be almost boyled enough which you may prove by putting a drop upon your nayle and if it congeale and run not abroad then it is enough Then adde the vernish oyle of bayes waxe and colophony and when they be all well mixed and melted then warme your pan with the gummes and presently poure into it all that is in the second pan stirring it very fast that it may incorporate as it runnes into the gummes and let your panne stand all this while on warme coales but beware of boyling for then your gummes will goe one way and your oyles another afterwards put in the pouders by degrees still stirring it for about an houre Lastly adde your Camphyre dissolved in oyle of Juniper if it be too hard then put in a little more waxe and Colophony Yon shall know when it is boyled enough by putting a sticke with some drops of the Emplaister on it into cold water if it be soft and sticke to thy fingers then it must be boyled longer untill it wax harder Then take it from the fire and poure it into a great vessell full of fayre water and work it out with your hands anointed with the oyles of camomile roses juniper earthwormes Hipericon of each a like quantity mingled together work it thus about three or foure homes and make it up in rowles and keep them in soft leather In the composition of this Emplaister you shall according to Paracelsus observe three intentions viz. 1 The healing by reason of the waxe and Colophony 2 The taking away of accidents which is by gummes viz.

very necessary amongst the rest that if any obstructions happen either in the passage of the urine or neck of the bladder through slime gravel the stone or the like accident which by the artificial use of a siringe cannot be removed then is this needful instrument to be used as also to make search for the stone in the bladder If therefore you have occasion to use it put it in gently as followeth namely with the crooked or dependent part downward so far as it will be put in being first anointed with a little oyl of Almonds or some fresh grease or some oyl for want of the afore-rehearsed and being put in as you can without much force then feel by the root of the yard near the fundament with the fore-finger anointed with butter or oyl or the middle-finger of thy other hand where the end of the Cathaeter resteth or beareth out then put in the Cathaeter yet further towards the fundament pressing or bearing down as it were a little the lower part of the said instrument with the upper hand which stayeth the Cathaeter then together with the help of the lower finger of the other hand turn the Cathaeter upwards putting it also withall forwards a little and it will slip into the bladder then draw out the wier within the instrument and the urine will come forth still keeping the instrument carefully within the bladder till all be run out that gently will come without forcing Moreover you may by putting in the longest finger into the Patients fundament the Cathaeter being in the bladder and the water drawn out feel easily if any stone be in the bladder the party grieved standing and bending his body likewise forward It will be also necessary to have searching candles of waxe to be used in caruncles or ulceration of the neck of the bladder or passage of the urine and by that you shall finde out the place where the said grief is and also be able to convey apt medicines to the place grieved but indeed it is a work that requireth good deliberation well to effect it for an expert workman may easilly be seen herein to erre except he take good regard Wherefore when by the candle you have found the certain place of the grief which you shall perceive when you thrust the candle into the yard by the stops and stayes which it will finde in the said passage be carefull to observe the just length to the further end of the said stop of place agrieved and there if you mark your candle well you shall perceive the full length and breadth of the disease then upon the said candle you shall fasten the medicine you intend for the grief as namely if the disease be a kinde of spungy flesh as often it is then a little alumen ustum or vitriolum ustum will be fitting medicines or what else you know most fit for such an occasion and print it according to the depressed part of the waxe into the waxe-candle and convey it warily to the place and let the candle remain in the yard but have a care you keep it not in till the waxe melt too much then draw it out and arm it as before and put it in again and ever alter your medicine upon the searching candle as you see cause and forget not to use good injection also which will helpe much Of the Cupping-glasses YOu shall finde these to be very useful in many businesses namely to fasten upon a bubo to bring it forward for which they are very good sometimes also to set upon the upper part of the shoulder blade to draw back humours which oppresse the head eyes or teeth or against Lethargie or on the thighs against aches or pains there and to bring down womens courses or for the cure of the Sciarica they are very good or to draw blood or spirits to a member withered or benummed with the dead palsey sometimes also they are applied without scarifying to attract humours to a place at another time they are set with scarification to draw blood and choller out of any member offended with them They are used divers wayes some with tow some with a small waxe light fastened to the bottome some with a great candle but for my self I have used all those wayes yet finde none better then to fasten a little dry tow to the bottome of the g●…ss with a little waxe and then rub well the part with hot water and a sponge where you will set your glasse then light your tow with a candle and clap it upon the place and it will stick fast and draw up a great bump then presse the skin with your finger close to the glasse and it will come off then if it be fitting take a lancet and lightly scarifie the place and then set on your glasse again and draw as much blood as you shall think fitting then wish the place with fair water and dry it well with a sponge and anoint it with a little fresh butter and it will be whole scarifie not to deep for that is dangerous and needlesse you must have several Cupping-glasses some bigger then others for the greater are for the thighs a little lesse for the arms and the least for the hands and feet for if your glasses be too wide they will not take hold Of Blood-porrengers BLood porrengers are necessary for any Chyrurgion thereby to be the more certain of the quantity of blood which is let forth for since the blood of man is so precious it behooveth to be very carefull how and what proportion is taken away The Porrengers which we ordinarily use hold about three ounces and to fill two and a half of these at a time although the Patient be very strong is enough although you be forced to open the vein again the next day for it is alwayes better to take away a little blood at a time then to let forth so much as to the swouning of the Patient by which happen many dangerous accidents except the party have a plurifie or some such urgent occasion shall offer it self for I hold it a great deal better to offend in taking away too little blood then too much but indeed our Country is now so stored with a company of empiricall Ideots who whatsoever the disease be presently upon sight of the urine by which they discern as much as in a glasse of beer cry out to open a veine and then they must either bleed twelve fourteen or sixteen ounces or else they think their Patient counts not his money well given and thus people are abused feeling either ache numnesse or a chilling cold in that part so long as they live after Of the Spatula mundana THis instrument I have divers times used though it be but lately invented and with good successe in extream costivenesse when no purging medicine either upward or downward would do any good you may if occasion offer open the fundament with a

Vade Mecum OR A COMPANION FOR A CHYRURGION fitted for times of peace or war Compendiously shewing the yong Artist the use of every severall Instrument belonging to a CHYRURGION and the vertues and qualities of all such Medicines as are needfull and necessary with the maner of compounding them according to the most approved Authors As also the perfect cure of green wounds either incised or contused Ulcers Fistulaes Fractures and Dislocations To which is added the maner of making Reports before a Judge of Assize of any one that hath come to an untimely end By THO. BRUGIS Doctor in Physick LONDON Printed by T. H. for THOMAS WILLIAM at the sign of the Bible in Little Britain 1652. T. Cross sculpsit The Preface EVery thing in the world is a naturall vision which wee ought to see and understand for the more cleare apprehension of the invisible Majesty of God but of all these man is the most to be admired being the worthiest most excelent of all the Creators works for whom God made all that was made There are some that hold an opinion that onely Nature was the first cause of things and that there is no other God than Nature but they are easily overthrown if they consider That Prima causa quod superiorem non agnoscat a qua suum esse acceperit ipsa sui ipsius causa est natura verò non a seipsa sed a principio superiori existit cum enim finita sit ut ex Coelorum motu patet ab alio certè definita est nihil siquidem seipsum definit ad haec si natura seipsum fecerit quae primae causae proprietas est certe seipsum fecit naturaliter quae vero naturaliter fiunt ex praeexistente materia fiunt ut si natura facta sit naturaliter eam ex materia praeexistente fieri oportuerit quod si statuatur natura nondum existente consequiter aliquid factum esse naturaliter naturam aliquid fecisse priusquam ipsamet existent non est ergo natura prima rerum causa That God made man and all things else in the world and subjected them to the power of man cannot be denyed and why he did this Plato tels you Ut a Deo bono opera bona fierent si ergo quaerimus saith one quis faecerit Deus est si per quod dixit fiat facta sunt si quare fiat quia bonus est nec enim auctor est excellentior Deo nec ars efficacior Dei verbo nec causa melior quam ut bonum crearetur a Deo bono Now although all these things were created of divers natures and properties yet by the incomprehensible wisdome of the Creator they were apoynted to tend to one certaine and common end namely to serve man and in him to shew forth the infinite power and greatnesse of their work master But in man alone the treasures of his heavenly graces are without comparison more liberally unfolded and that in all fulnesse and bounty as well in regard of the goods and commodities of this life as also in respect of the assured happinesse and eternall felicity which by the especiall grace of God is purchased and assured to him only in the immortality of the second life And forasmuch as every Countrey is not furnished with all sorts of things God having so disposed thereof that some should abound with those things which others greatly want and stand in need of the omnipotent providence hath taught us the means of transporting by water from one countrey to another with small loss trouble charges so that one Nation may communicate those cōmodities to another which the Creator hath bestowed upon them all each granting mutual help to the other by this meanes Now this great master-piece of the Creator the best part of nothing for whom all these were made through his disobedience pride ambition intemperance incredulity curiosity from whence proceeded originall sinne and that generall corruption of mankinde as from a fountaine flowed all bad inclinations and actuall transgressions which cause our severall calamities inflicted upon us for our sinnes and are the impulsive causes of all the miseries attending man these cause the privation and destruction of Gods image the cause of death and diseases of all temporall and eternall punishments from hence likewise proceed the instrumentall causes of our infirmities which are as divers as the infirmities themselves stars heavens elements c. and all the creatures which God hath made are armed against sinners they were indeed once good in themselves and that they are now many of them pernicious to us is not in their nature but our corruption which hath caused it as an ancient Philosopher notes to us by a comparison of those that saile in a Ship upon the water who are not above two or three fingers distant from death namely so far off as the thicknesse of the planks and timber of the Ship is in which they are carried into the Sea for if that timber were taken away from under them they cannot avoid drowning but we have death a great deale nearer to us wee carry it about us by infinite causes and means whereby we are every houre in danger of stifeling poysoning drowning c. and that both waking and sleeping eating and drinking at all times and in all places where-ever we become It hath pleased the omnipotent Creator out of his owne meer mercy and great providence to give knowledge and understanding of the vertues and qualities of the creatures which he hath placed in the world and of them to compound Medicines to withstand all such diseases as shall happen upon the bodies of this most noble Fabrick Next therefore to God we ought in all our extremities to seek to and relye upon the Physitian who is Manus Dei and to whom he hath given knowledge that he might bee glorified in his wondrous works read Ecclesiasticus the thirty eight Chapter where you may finde what honour and respect belongs to the Physitian but not meaning every one that steals the name of a Physitian for there be many Mountebanks Quacksalvers Empericks in every street almost and in every village that take upon them this name and make this divine noble and profitable Art to be evill spoken of and contemned by reason of such base and illiterate Artificers You have heard what the subject is the Artist hath to work upon the excellency whereof I would have him diligently to consider by contemplating the Heavens the Earth the Seas and all the creatures therein their excellency and admirable beauty which were onely created for the use of man and are maintained and preserved in their being and moving by one and the same divine providence alwaies like unto it selfe Next let him consider with what care diligence and respect he ought to behave himselfe towards this noble peece of workmanship and to that end let the Artist be honest having a good conscience doing nothing in his

can be sent or flow unto the wounded place Therefore by these signes which shall appeare it may be declared that he was wounded dead or alive The like question may come in judgement when a man is found hanged whether he were hanged dead or alive Therefore if he were hanged alive the impression or print of the rope will appear red pale or black and the skin round about it will be contracted or wrinkled by reason of the compression which the cord hath made also oftentimes the head of the Aspera arteria is rent and torne and the second spondile and the neck luxated or moved out of his place also the legs and armes will be pale by reason of the violent and sudden suffocation of the spirits moreover there wil be a foam about his mouth and a foamy and filthy matter hanging out at his nosthrils being sent thither both by reason that the Lungs are suddenly heated and suffocated as also by the convulsive concussion of the brain like as it were in the falling sicknesse Contrariwise if he be hanged dead none of these signes appeare for neither the print of the rope appears red or pale but of the same colour as the other parts of the body are because in dead men the bloud and spirits doe not slew to the grieved parts Whosoever is found dead in the waters you shall know whether they wore thrown into the water alive or dead by these following signes All the belly of him that was thrown in alive will be swoln and puffed up by reason of the water that is c●ntained therein certain clammy excrements come out at his mouth and nosthrils the ends of his fingers will be worne and excoriated because that he dyed striving and scraping in the bottome of the River se●king some what whereon he might take hold to save himselfe from drowning Contrariwise if he be thrown into the waters being dead before his belly will not be swoln because that in a dead man all the passages and conduits of the body do fall together and are stopped and closed and for that a dead man breaths not there appeareth no foame nor filthy matter about his mouth and nose and much lesse can the skin of the tops of his fingers be rubbed off for man is already dead he cannot strive against death But as concerning the bodies of those that are drowned those that swim on the upper part of the water being swoln or puffed up they are not so by reason of the water that is contained in the belly but by reason of a certain vapor into which a great portion of the humors of the body are converted by the efficacy of the putrifying heat Therfore this swelling appeareth not in all men which do perish or else are cast out into the waters but in them which are corrupted with the filthinesse or muddinesse of the water long time after they were drowned and are cast on the shore Many are stifled and suffocated by burning Charcoals in a close roome and sometimes recovered if taken in time else quite smothered These you shall perceive their faces wan and pale no pulse beating all the extream parts cold speech and motion cease so that there is little hopes of recovering onely as thus put your hand to the region of the heart and if you finde any heat and pulsation then there is life remaining else not therefore if your judgement be required concerning any persons found dead in any close roome you shall enquire whether there were any Charcoals burned there or observe whether the walls or flours be new whitelimed and the cause of their deaths will appear You shall know that a person is poysoned when as he complains of a great heavinesse of his whole body so that he is weary of himself when as some horrid and loathsome taste sweats out from the orifice of the stomack to the mouth and tongue wholly different from that taste that meat howsoever corrupted can send up when as the colour of the face changeth suddenly sometimes to black sometimes to yellow or any other colour much differing from the common custome of man when nauseousnesse with frequent vomiting troubleth the Patient and that he is molested with so great unquietnesse that all things may seem to be turned upside down when the Patient swounds often and with cold sweats Those poysons which exceed in heat cause a burning in the tongue mouth throat stomack guts and all the inner parts with great thirsts unquietnesse and perpetuall sweats but if to their excesse of heat they be accompanied with a corroding and putrifying quality as Arsnick Sublimate Roseager or Ratsbane Verdigrease Orpiment and the like they then cause in the stomack and guts intollerable pricking pains rumblings in the belly and continuall and intollerable thirst These are succeeded by vomitings with sweats sometimes hot sometimes cold with swoundings whence sudden death ensues Poysons that kill by too great coldnesse induce a dull and heavy sleep or drowsinesse from which you cannot easily rouze or waken them some imes they so trouble the brain that the Patients perform many undecent gestures and antick tricks with their mouths and eyes arms and legs like as such as are frantick they are troubled with cold sweats their faces become blackish or yellowish alwayes gastly all their bodies are benummed and they dye in a short time unlesse they be helped poysons of this kinde are Hemlock Poppy Nightshade Henbane Mandrake c. Dry poysons are usually accompanied by heat with moisture for although sulphur be hot and dry yet hath it moisture to hold the parts together as all things which have a consistence have yet are they called dry by reason that drinesse is predominant in them such things make the tongue and throat dry and rough with unquenchable thirst the belly is so bound that so much as the urine cannot have free passage forth all the members grow squallid by drinesse the Patients cannot sleep poysons of this kinde are Litharge Cerusse Lime Scales of brasse Filings of lead prepared Antimony c. Poysons that are moyst induce a perpertual sleep a fluxe or scouring the resolution of all the nerves and joynts so that not so much as their eyes may be faithfully contained in their orbes but will hang as ready to fall out the extream parts as the hands feet nose ears corrupt and putrifie and at which time they are also troubled with thirst by reason of their strong heat alwayes the companion of putrifaction and oft-times the authour thereof now when this commeth to passe death is at hand of this kinde are the bitings of Serpents the venenate and putrifying humidity of the ayre the Lues venereae and the like Being to make report of a child killed with the mother have a care that you make a discreet report whether the childe were perfect in all the parts and members thereof that the Judge may equally punish the authour thereof for he meriteth far greater punishment who
