hinder the operation of its cheifest Faculties It seemes to bee very necessary in the first place to take away the superfluity of Blood by opening the Liver Veine in the right arme And if the party be of a good Constitution Sanguine and well in flesh you may take the greater quantity from him because that their strength will bee able to beare the losse of the greater store of Blood And you may reiterate it two or three times in a yeare so long as there is any danger of this Disease remaining especially if you finde that this course would have been good to have been taken with the Patientat the first After the Liver Veine hath been opened I would advise to take some quantity of Blood accordingly as the Age and strength of the Patient would beare it from the Hamme Veine especially if the party be troubled with the Satyriasis and the Physitian find himselfe able enough to doe this Or in stead of this I would open the Saphena or Ankle Veine or else apply Couping glasses upon his thigh neere to the privy parts having first made sufficient Scarification But he must not come to these particular Evacuations unlesse the Veine in the Arme were first opened which in case of the Satyriasis or Vterine Fury I would have to bee done the first day For otherwise this would bee a meanes rather to attract and draw down more Blood to those parts which are both the cause and seat of the disease then to draw it away Some use Cauterismes on the Legs but I doe not approve of this course but rather take it to be vaine and of litle or no force at all The Scythians as Herodotus reports were wont to cut the Veines behind their Eares and so by this meanes made them 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Impotent and weake and having brought downe themselves to this base dejected state they took upon them the habit of Women and spun with them too as Hippocrates relates for as the same Author affirmes lib. de Aëre Loc.

XXXII Medicinall Remedies for the Prevention of Love or Erotique Melancholy THE first Medicinall remedy shall be a Clyster composed of cooling and moystening Ingredients among which it will doe well to mixe Hemp seed Agnus Castus and the like And the next day after you shall give him a sufficient quantity of Cassia Catholicon Diaprum or Tryphera Persica with a litle Agnus Castus or else a very gentle Purge for wee must not in this case use any violent Purgation or which would make the body over Laxative as both Avicen and Aëtius are of opinion who to this purpose prescribes the Decoction of Betes Mallows or the hearbe Mercury For all violent Medicaments doe heat the Humours and inrage the Blood driving downe the Excrements toward the Inferiour parts and Spermaticall Vessels And for this reason Arnaldus de Villa Nova cap. de Regim Cast Vivent preferres Vomits in this case before Purging Then let the party take every morning a litle milke or else some broath or Iulip that may refresh the blood using also some Medicinall drinke which is of a contrary nature to the generation of seed especially if the party be of a moyst complexion for for such persons these kinde of Medicines are very good as Avicen saith This Medicine I commonly use 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Rad.
