then there is no need of the Defensive Plaister because it doth not alwayes good Annoint then the Patient with warmed oyls of Cammomil of Rose oyl mixed with a little Saffron or annoint the Patient round with Gray s grease his Neck and Back bone and the Wound also and look carefully to the business Govern the party in his diet as you were told at the Head-wounds Keep him from cold and air and let him be quiet and not stir much and be temperate in eating and drinking You may apply also to his Wound a Sandel plaister which I call the red Sandel plaister with these things you proceed in the cure till you come to a perfect healing These wounds being very subject to simptoms and among Note the signs by reason of dangerous simptomes as Cramp joynt water the rest to the joynt-water which in the whole body is no where so dangerous as it is about the Neck and Throat especially when a Cramp fals into therefore you have cause to look the better to it and to prevent such accidents But how you must behave your self touching the joynt and sinew water and against the Cramp also with the brown Ointment you shall find direction for it in the third part of this Book or else in some other place Touching Throat-wounds these you must trouble as little Throat-wounds with Tents and with the Seeker as the other in the Neck Proceed thus If you have a Throat-wound in cure True proceeding where the bloud issueth forth mainly so that there is fear that a bloud vein hath been hurt or that the swallow and Throat be cut then note if the Wound or Stab be deep or shallow neer the Ear then you may stitch it but not slightly as commonly is done but must be drawn strongly together cross-way so that neither breath nor bloud can get out then apply to the Wound an Opodeldoch with a defensive plaister upon which is described also in its due place this do so long till the anger be past Having drawn the Wound together with that stitching then is it requisite that you have a good Medicine which penetrate with its vertue and that is the Magnetick plaister which is described in Books of Decoctions truly that will draw all matter you need not to use any other thing to the Wound but onely apply this plaister great and thick Let it not trouble you which way the matter in these wounds goeth for Throat-wounds afford not much corruption and the Opodeldoch is of that quality that it leaveth not much uncleanness behind If the Wound be great and wide so that you fear it may not be stitch'd that way then let it alone for common stitches will not hold in this case and keep in the bloud from issuing forth therefore make use of a Bloud-stencher and proceed further as you did with other perillous Wounds and if you use any plaisters hereto then spread it thick that the air may press the less thorough for the swallow is a substance which can endure no air at all But if the throat be hurt at the side then do not stitch it especially if the Wind-pipe or swallow be in pieces for if a swelling should be incident the patient will be choaked or perish in his food And if the Wound be not great or deep then do not stitch it and draw much flesh into it would cause an ugly upcast scarr For at the Throat usually happen gross scarrs and therefore take heed of many stitches there and of too much flesh and if-you can endeavour to heal it up to a scurfe for if you suffer the flesh to grow freely and high then the scarr will be as big as a great nut therefore be not neglective in the preventing the simptom betimes else it may be too late to undertake the opposing of it you ought not to put into the Wound any Salve oyl or Tent for it may as little endure any Tent as the Back bone by reason of the variety of sinews which are in the Throat It being a thing more usual in Throat-wounds that swellings Gargarism are incident whereby soon great sorrows and troubles are caused therefore is it requisite that there be used besides the defensive Plaister a Gargarism not onely the sooner to further the healing of the Wound but to asswage also the pains And if there be not heat at hand then take Wine else do you take Water lb 3. put one hand of Mallow seed boil a third part away which being done then strain it through a clean cloth put thereto of Honey ℥ 2. boyl it again after you scummed it put it in a pewter dish put to it of Storax Calamintha ℥ ¼ and so let it stand for your use Some add a little Cinnamon which cannot be amiss Let the Patient use this water several times a day it will not onely further the healing but ease him of his pain and keep off rheumes This Gargarism may safely be used also in Head-wounds and is effectual alwayes Touching the joynt-water when that commeth then carry If the joint-water com●● with pain your self as you shall be instructed in the Chapter about the joint-water And if accompanied with great pains then take notice of the causes and signs thereof that you may know whether the Prunella or inflammation be either at hand or coming on and if it doth signifie the Wound sickness or any other thing then proceed as you shall be informed All such that are troubled with such deep Neck and If a heat comes Throat-wounds and endure great pains then use smarting plaisters it will ease them One thing more in case the Patient feeleth great heat either in the Head or in the Face and by reason of it feareth the Prunella the Wound-sickness or other such like then phlebotomize the Patient chiefly under the Tongue if it may conveniently be for such phlebotomy cooleth much both Head and Throat taking away all the heat quencheth thirst opposeth many simptoms and maketh the Wound forward unto healing therefore neglect not Phlebotomy in these Wounds if need not else These veins you may safely open in Head-wounds where any heat is felt surely it will not be fruitless CHAP. XI Of Wounds at the Breast how a Surgeon ought to behave himself there TO speak of Breast-wounds I mean not small slight Wounds which require no singular great cure being Of Breast-wounds without danger By Breast-wounds I understand the first part of the Ribs If a party be wounded there and the Wound is not gone through the body then no great danger to be feared and upon that you ought to deal as usually is done to common Wounds For those Wounds which deeply run into the body are very dangerous It fals out in such wounds that the stab doth not go deep into the wound and yet one of the inner members is wounded Sometimes a party is run quite thorough and yet no internal part wounded Let the

several and different so their Cures also Difference in Wounds must be according Some Wounds are cured onely with outward means if timely and orderly used other Wounds require also inward Medicaments without which they are not cured Therefore vulnerary Potions which I shall teach you are not to be rejected to expel the filth from the bloud and flesh Touching the Patients diet you heard of it before which I will not repeat here onely let me tell of the Medicaments I made mention of formerly how they ought to be prepared To make Coolers To make the Cooler do thus â„ž Honey lb 2. the juice of Housleek lb ss juice of Crefishes five ounces Rose Vinegar six ounces phlegm of Vitriol five ounces mingle all these scum it well in the boyling let it be a little thinner then Honey thus is it right The juice of Crefishes is made thus â„ž Oflive Crefishes lb 1. beat them in a morter press out the sap Phlegm of Vitriol is the distilled water from Vitriol at the drawing off the spirit of it Of these in the Chapter of Cramp and Palsie c. more shall be spoken This is a good Cooler it quencheth the fire presently it must stand and go no further and the fire must separate the sooner from the sound part It is not onely good against the fire the Gun-powder left in the Wound but other burnings also caused by Wood Water Oyl Iron Tin Lead Gold c. if the burnt place be annointed with it then a stiptick Plaister applied to it will do very well This fire being quenched and the pain allayed then milder Medicines must be used which mitigate the Wound and help to expel the rest I will teach you one or two I made use of my self â„ž Wax four ounces melt it on a gentle fire add to it of fresh Butter one ounce of Lin seed oyl two ounces all these being well melted then pour it forth into a pewter dish in which be water of plantain or Roses stir it well about make it hot again consume away the Water pour it again into the dish stir it well about then set the dish on a place to warm stir it still then all the water will be gone stir among it of Bole half an ounce then is the Ointment prepared for to get out the fire let it lie as deep as it will the Wound must be often drest with it at the beginning and the Plaister before spoken of applied to it Another cooling Ointment which quencheth not onely the fire but draweth it out also but it is not so good against Another Cooler the burning caused by Gun-powder as that which is prepared with Honey Make it thus â„ž Lin seed and Hemp seed-oyl ana lb ss Oyl of Poppy seed four ounces mingle these Oyls beat them put a spoonful of Vinegar to it let it cool some feces will settle to the bottom which cleanly must be separated from the Oyls Then â„ž of Wax three ounces melt and mingle it with a quarter of an ounce of white Amber put these among the Oyls then is your Ointment prepared Thus much of cooling Ointments because it is known enough how cooling Ointments are made It happeneth sometimes that though the fire be quenched and expelled yet the Wound doth not heal and is at a stand In such a case use the following remedy In case the Wound healeth not â„ž Gray Calmy stone and Tutia Alexandrina or a Calmy cake ana one ounce grind them small put it in a Crucible let it stand in a glowing heat for an hour then pour it into good Vinegar let it cool there which being done then take it out set it again into a glowing heat and then let it cool then take the juyce of Nightshade two ounces of Litharge of Silver a quarter of an ounce oyl of Roses half a pound of Wax four ounces of Frankincense one drachm mingle all these and make an Ointment of it There are many Simples found also which take out the Simples that are good also in that case fire and are of a sanatife quality viz red and white Colewort Soladel and many more of that kind And some Animals also are good viz. Frogs Geese c. of these I speak no more here Surgery being of a greater concernment with the Manuals and Experience in it more than great prating come too An expert Surgeon according to skill and Experience will Manuals Experience is best in Surgeons find more things than conveniently may be set down in writing when where and how is to order and alter his Medicines and to make them milder or stronger This I will teach you how the aforesaid Saltpeter is to be To prepare Saltpeter for Wounds made by shot prepared for Wounds made with shot and how Tents are to be made and used because the preparation is not known to every one First touching the Saltpeter its preparation is thus its naughty humidity is to be taken from it and a better restored to it that it may safely be used for the good of the Patient it is of a good scent it quencheth thirst it allayeth heat provoketh urine and is endowed with many good qualities not known to every one It s preparation is thus â„ž Of the purest clarified Peter two ounces put it in a pot and make a circular fire about let it be melted it being melted put a little quantity of purified Sulpher to it that being flamed away then cast more into till a quarter of an ounce be burnt in it the Sulpher clarifieth the Peter and when it is purified enough cast it forth and pulverise it and put it into a Bag or Manica Hypocratis put Rose water to it and make a Lixivium this Lie boyl away half let it cool and shoot into Cristals which you keep for use boil away the moiety of the remaining water let it cool and shoot again pulverise the Cristals keep them from the air in a glass for use The Tents formerly mentioned are made thus â„ž The juyce of Speedwel rectified through Wooll two ounces Gum Tragacanth purely beaten half an ounce mingle and reduce it to a pap let it stand in a warm place it will be like dough then take lint of Silk roul it in this pap on a pewter plate and keep these Wicks for use Note these must be made of a pretty bigness because in their drying they grow less when they are dry and you have need to use them then take one cover it with your cooling Ointment ' and put it into the Wound the Wick will swell in it and the Tragacanth attracteth all the moist filth which at one time with such a Wick you may get out of the Wound The lint the Wick is made of must hang out of the Wound to be pulled out thereby else it may be lost in the Wound Use the Wicks so long till the Wounds are cleansed and the heat and anger of it be past Some

at a little piece But if a Nose or Ear is altogether grown cold at the stitching be not amazed but stitch it on and warm it with warmed Wine in which is laid Sanicle or Housleek and being well heated then apply it afterward dress it like a soft Wound and being healed to a skin then let a scurfe grow upon it will heal the Nose finely Wounds on Chins heal easily and freely if they be not cut downward and need no stitching but if a flap hangs Chin-wounds down then set two stitches But as was said by the Nose and Ear-wounds to prevent ugly scarrs which stitches usually leave behind let them be ripped up again Plaisters which cling hard ought not to be laid to Chin-wounds whereby the tender and young healing would be broken again at the taking off the plaister No great advantage to be used at the healing of such Wounds being they are of a free healing Wound-waters made of Honey and Wine are of good use for such Wounds In case the jaw bone be displaced by a blow it ought first of all to be put in the right place such Wounds by reason Cheek-wounds of the jaws constant motion do heal very hardly not so easie as those in the Cheeks Use no greasie things to these Wounds which would cause naughty flesh if not quite a fistulo the manual herein is to let the cure rest on a good strong Wound-plaister which will do it Apply that Plaister warm and well covered and let the Patient gargarize twice or thrice a day as occasion serveth With this ℞ Of Wine lb 1. of Water lb 4. of Oak leaves ℥ 1. burnt Allom 31 white Vitriol 3 ss Mingle these let it have a strong walm This Gurgarisme if the sooner used keeps off proud flesh and suffers no thing to grow in the Wound This following Wound-water is to be used also ℞ Of Cousolida major Oak leaves ana M 2. boyl these in two quarts of Water boyl some part of it away let it cool let the Patient wash his mouth with it luke-warm and he will be healed quickly No Coolers are used to Eye-wounds made of the white of Eggs as usually they do neither is Turnip water good Eye-wounds which would make the Eyes sore which abuse is very common I have known some which held themselves great Surgeons who held it for a great Master-piece to outrun the Eye in a short time and kill the heat therein But this is a horrible skill to spoil folks eye sight these men little think upon Nature and how little do they regard her help Better wayes are to be considered of for the Eye-wounds are very dangerous To use cooling things and to apply them outwardly is adviseable some way and I intend to describe something also For the Eyes are slimy and love slimy things If you have an Eye-wound in cure use this Collyrium though metalline things are more pleasant and proper ℞ Oyle of white Lillies oyle of Roses Honey water Verdigreice or rather take the oyle of Ceruse which is better I say the oyle of Ceruse is an approved thing in Eye-wounds if you have not this then make use of the other These things outhgt to be had in readiness for they are vertuous and effectual in such cases I knew a Citizen at Strasburg whose apple and stars of his Eye was wounded his sight was recovered though not so perfectly as he had it before the Wound even by that oyle of Ceruse Vnguentum Mucilaginis put into the wounded Eye with a spattle will clear the sight ℞ Foenugreek Althea Consolida major steeped in Oak-leave water or Celendine water as also a red sour Apple boyled in Wine and Water ana Item Apply the Collyrium luke-warm But in case there be a great heat therein then cooling things are to be used viz. whites of Eggs Rose water Bole on linnen the following things are good also Whites of Eggs spawn of Frogs Nightshade water Rose water Lastly if great pains be in them then use this following Albumen ovi Succus hyosiami Opium Coquantur s a.

the matter Objections answered Let not that trouble you it is consumed and expelled through the Opodeldoch and further removed by stool with the help of Medicaments Where you may note also that the Breast-wound being healed loosen and thrust off the stitches and leave a passage whereby the matter can pass and run out And before that is done the Wound is well set and healed and the fear is the less in that particular provided that the Patient be still kept as he should as you heard above Why do you not stitch other Wounds also Objection Marvel not at it These Wounds have room enough to yeeld their matter which other Wounds in outward joynts and members have not CHAP. XII Of some particular simptems which are incident unto Breast-wounds how Surgeons ought to behave themselves here BReast-wounds have simptoms incident to them more than other Wounds have which in this place I will mention Breast-wounds have many simptoms in particular For touching other common simptoms of Wounds of them in its place you find sufficient instruction In the antecedent Chapter I have told you that you ought How to do when a tent is gotten into the wound or body not to use any Tents in Breast-wounds nor any other ravelings and the like rags for a reason alledged There are some Surgeons found who use their tents in an ignorant way and gross mistake and put such like things into Wounds which afterward are sucked in by the breath of the Patient into the Breast and the Patient is thereby brought into extream danger I have seen such Patients who having drawn and suck'd such tents into the body dyed of it Therefore have a care that you use no flat and round tents untied unless you guard them well nor make any such tents as if you would heal therewith another hole There is no need of any tent but onely of a Salve and Plaister and by a nimble and quick dressing keep out the wind air and cold Others that use Cataplasmes or linnen dipt in warm Wine I leave them to their old custom for many Surgeons that are experienced use them and my Writings are not for them but onely for Novices If any such Wounds comes to be cured by you then stitch it closely that it have no vent for the Wound will get vent before you shall be pleased with it Be diligent and quick in healing which if you do it not quickly you will hardly do it afterward And let the Patient have a vulnerary potion over and above for these are such Wounds where the bones are hewed and cut thorough and help Nature that way Wounds that are before are more dangerous than those behind Use no tents nor searchings in the Wounds for you will meet with difficulties enough make you all the haste with the healing make use of the green Salve and Wound-plaister these are sufficient bind and dress it well I have never made use of warm Wine nor of any Cataplasm because I know it will keep not long warm though it be applied so In case some mischief should happen by the falling in of something into the Breast or Back-wound and you are sure that something is fallen in then look whether you can see it and set the Patient into a very dark place light a great candle being of Wax hold it directly at or over the Wound then you may see better into the Wound then when the Sun shineth feel not and search not into the Wound if you never felt into the Wound then you may if it be fit if not then this is the best advise viz. Make a Lavament of Liquorice let it run gently into the Wound through a Sirenge that the in-fallen thing be not stirred the patient must keep in his breath and then let it go gently Or take Water and Wine ana dry Rose leaves a few Cammomils and Mallows boyl these together pour it out being settled cant it off use the clear make it luke-warm wash the Wound with it several times though some of it comes into the body it doth no hurt and is consumed and cometh forth when you let the rest run out of the Wound Having used this Water to the Wound then let the Patient suddenly cough then the water will partly run out of the Wound and bring forth that also which is fallen in which you can take hold on and draw it out fully if that will not do it then place the Patient with the Wound downward that the water may run out then look to it whether there be not a partition at hand before you set the Patient upright This water you may use safely for it will not hurt the body at all This is the onely remedy which I know in this particular is used which if it will not help and the ravelings stay in the body then nothing else is expected but a miserable chronical disease which will produce nothing but death of the which I told you also formerly You see the reason why such dangerous abused attempts upon wicks and tents should be shunned Patients in this case are commonly plagued with a cough A Cough is hurtful to breast-wounds The remedy for it which is extreamly dangerous and chiefly in Breast-wounds Therefore great care ought to be had to resist it with convenient means either before or after purposely prepared which are to be given to the Patient either in a Potion or otherwise Some Apothe caries shops afford the like as Morsali iri●s morsali diatrag acauthi frigidi and such like Item Lohooh sanum made of Foxes lungs item Sirrups of Hysop and Liquorice c. every Surgeon should know what is to bedone herein Some Surgeons use pectoral Potions which are good Pectoral potions and not to be rejected but thus much I say distinction is here to be used because these are not good to all Wounds indifferently therefore I will set down some which are good in this particular A Patient being troubled with a Cough and is put thereby True pectoral potions into some danger then ℞ Liquorice ℥ 1.

neither is there any occasion to advise with others the parties wounded must lye till the skirmish is over let the Wounds be what they will There is great distinction to be observed touching such cures and those which to such accidents are not subject The cures I shall speak of here were not found out in mine own practice but I have seen and learned them of experienced Surgeons which afterward I took into careful consideration and in my dayly practice endeavoured so farre that at last I got to the true fundamentals of them And that which I have learned and seen and made experiments of them I will impart it faithfully whereby you may see my intentions to be side and reall Touching these Wounds which are spoyled and exiccated bp the Suns heat you are to note if the suns rayes strike directly into the wound or they fall onely on the patient and do not come near the wound then it may fall out that the wound is dryed out in a short time the lips of the wound grow as hard as a stick in the inside the wound groweth brown red like half roasted meat yet there is some moisture in it with a little swelling about beating and panting very much great head-ach is joined with it and the patient is saint by reason of the great heat which possest his body To apply pertinent remedies for such Symptomes do thus Curs for exiccated wounds ℞ of Salmiac water ℥ 1 Rose vinegar ℥ 3 white Amber ℥ ¼ hony Roses or mel Rosatum ℥ 6. Boyle these like an Egyptiacum wet linnen ravelings in it and tye it to the Wound If the wound be deep made by stabbing then the Ointment may be conveyed into with a syringe and apply a Plaister to it Then take good Rose vinegar in which you dissolve a little of prepared Saltpeter make it luke warm dip a cloth into apply it four double about the Wound covering the wound every way that vinegar being grown cold warm it once more and apply it again Beware you use no greasie things of oyles ponltesses c. because such wounds receive no greasie things for they are not onely not good but hurtful Moist ointments of a waterish nature without greasiness allay heats and are sharpish to eat away the heat the skin panicle c. thereby to open the obstructions of the wound that they may the better admit of healing such things you are to use here if so be you intend to do the party good such wounds must not be stitched by no means for these wounds that are thus exiccated by the Suns heat admit of no healing unless they have thrust forth that which the Suns heat hath spoyled Outward means thus applyed will not do it alone inward Internal medicines medicines must be used also For a Wound spoiled in this manner doubtless the whole body suffereth also especially when other Symptomes are coincident as a Wound sickness a Feaver an Inflamation c. Therefore in the first place phlebotomize the party on the opposite side to the Wound The best way for head wounds is to open a vein under the tongue if the patient be able to endure it for thereby the heat in the head will be much allayed When phlebotomie is used in this case then be provided with a Vulnerarie potion which must be made thus ℞ Stellaria or Wound hearb Bistorta Pyrola white Roses Vulnerar● potion or Rose water ana ℥ 1 boile all these in a quart of water for an hour or two in a closed kan being boiled strain it dissolve in it of prepared Saltpeter ℥ 1 put to it of pulverised Oculi cancrorum ʒ 1 of these let the patient drink four times a day ℥ 1 ss This drink will come to the Wound and will expell the heat not onely out of the Wound but out of the whole body and will quench the patties extream thirst The patient must be kept in a cool temper and eat of meats which are of easie digestion let him not be opprest with thirst which would be hurtful unto him His drink Dyet must be made of Barly water of Plantain roots and of winter Cherries he must use also conserves of Violets Roses c. Go on with this process so long till the Wound separateth from that which is spoiled then you may use other means as they are proper for wounds and proceed with the rest as you heard above of other wounds One thing more is necessary if so be that the patient is able to endure that he be put into a sweat be it with Treacle Metridate c. For such wounds must be dealt Diaphoreticks withal as if there had been any poyson therein If the patient can endure sweating his condition will be the better Touching the Wound diseases or the Wound gall which by some are judged to be a kind of the plague the patients condition is the worse if these are at hand if the patient cannot endure to sweat then is he in a worse condition and is in great danger Further Symptomes he is not able to undergoe and therefore I leave to speak of any more These things you heare do befall wounds exiccated by the Suns heat the like befals other wounds by the Ayre and Wind whereby they are exiccated also insomuch that they are left bloudless The occasion and condition whereof may be learned of the patient Viz. how long it is since the vvind and the air Signs of exiccated wounds got into the Wound if not then the follovving signes must be regarded the vvound is dry and doth not bleed unless being toucht it vveepeth a little the skin of it being shrunk and its lips turned if an anger is in it then it gapeth vvide and that is accompanied vvith smarting pains it gapeth sometimes so wide as if it were ready to split in two If in such a Wound the great muscle of an utter joint be hurt and a sinew cut in tw● and the joint also be much hurt or the scull of the head is cut then the condition of the wound is the worse because many simptoms are like to meet Viz. the Wound Inflamation on which the Cold fire attendeth the Wound disease and Wound feavers Gout and Cramp c.
