compounded and made of Crocus Martis beaten into a most smal pouder and Crâ—cus Veneris of each two ounces these wel mingled together with the oyl commonly known by the name of Oleum Vici Pomarum Symplicium the water of the sperm of Frogs with a little Champhyre and sugar of Saturn put round about the neck Argilla furnaceâ— that is to say Clay baked in an Oven and wel mingled together with strong vinegar like unto a pultise and applied after the same manner Asses dung or swines dung dissolved in Rose vinegar and then put up into the nostrils the shavings or Fragments of Fungus Betulinus the mushrom or toad stool of the Beech tree the Root of white Succory dig'd up about St. James tide at noon day when the sun is at ful south and chawed betwixt the teeth As for the Magnetical Curing hereof by Vitriol see further in Beccerus in his Medicus Mycrocosmus in the Chap. of the blood c. The Hemorrhage is divided in a threefold manner from the Causes from the blood and from the places from whence the said proceedeth I. One is from that we cal Anastomosis or an opening of the orifices of the veins which either is caused by the abundance of blood and then the face is red the veins strut and are distended and a ful feeding went before and here venesection hath its place the head is by no means to be washed or so much as wet with cold water lest that the blood being there deteined something that is worse follow upon it neither is there any linen cloth to be wet in cold water and at the first begining of it to be cast about the neck lest that the ways and pasges between the brain and the heart should by this means be shut up or else it is caused by the acrimony of the blood and the thinness thereof and then there ready at hand signs of a Cacochymy and in this case we are to do the work with those things that incrassate and thicken as Bole armonick Dragons blood in the shops termed Sanguis draconis and such like Orelse it is caused by the irritation of the facculty and then the very same things as before are present and ready at hand or else by the weakness of the said faculty and then there is blood issuing forth by intervals but it is not much and some disease weakening the liver went before and therfore the Cure ought likwise to be prosecuted with special regard had unto the same Another is from a diairesis as we term it or a division of the veins by some sharp corroding humor and like by other means and then the blood issueth forth in a far greater abundance or there went before some violent Cause or else lastly there are present certain signs of a Cholerick Cacochymy Another is from that we cal diapedesis or as we may to term it a passing through by leaping and then the blood that issueth forth is but very little c. See more hereof in the first Book II. One is of the Arterial blood which is hot somwhat red subtile leaping forth with a froth and with violence Another is of the vein blood and this is Thicker and Blacker III. One is of blood issuing and passing forth out of the veins of the Brain and then there went before a pain of the head and the flux is not easily stanched Another is of the same blood leaping or starting out of the nostril veins and then the contrary of what was said touching the former happeneth and appeareth Chap. 3. Of the Hindering and Hurting of the Smel Gravedo or Stuffing and Sternutition Or Sneezing THe principal burt of the sence of smelling is the abolition or the diminution thereof which differ only in degrees and in the greatness of their Causes And this is caused 1. Either from a distemper of the brain which either possesseth the fore part thereof and then the Tast likewise by reason of the branches of the third pair of nerves of the brain Forming the tongue is abolished the voice is loud and shril and no way to be found fault with the Cure here is to have an especial regard unto the distemper or else it possesseth and resideth in the process of those nerves that constitute and frame the organ of the smelling and then there is no hurt at al to be perceived in the brain or in the other senses Or else it is caused by the narrowness and streightness and that too either of the Brain and then there is present and sensibly to be felt a heaviness in the head and here we may operate by errhines and yet not toomany of them neither and here likewise sternutatories are exceeding useful and profitable or otherwise of the Processes of the brain or of the nose within and the Ethmoid Bone and then the voice and respiration are vitiated and the wonted excrements restrained and kept in The smelling is somtimes totally abolished if the Phlegm by heat be baked and hardened at the holes and enterances of the aforesaid bone which chanceth unto such as being troubled with the pose or distillation called coriza heedlesly and without any consideration go into baths In these cases that that cheifly deserveth commendation is the Root of Gentian fitly put up into the â—osâ—ils Castoreum wel soaked in vinegar and afterwards sweetned the Oyl of Nightshade the Errhin of Zacutus in his seventh Book 15. Chap. P. 517. c. touching which we have before spoken in the Chapter of Cactarrhs II. Gravedo or Coryza is a defluxion of the Excrements of the Brain being crude and thin like water unto the nostrils which is accompanied and attended with a frequent sternutation or sneezing This Malady is wel enough known and by it self discovered It ariseth from the distemper of the brain either hot or cold concerning which enough above III. Sternutation is a violent and involuntary expulsion by the nostrills of the flatulent windy spirits and sharp vapours offending the Brain It is done with a Loude voice as wel because the Windy spirit breaketh forth altogether at once as by reason that it forceth its passage through the streight narrow holes of the nostrils It ariseth either from external causes and then the nostrils are to be supled and gently stroked with the oyl of roses or milk or else from internal humors and vapours brought thither touching which see further in their proper Chapters but is wont for the most part and too commonly to be neglected by the Physitians unless in Plethorical bodies it happen to be accompanied with a distillation in the very first beginning of the disease The little veins in the greater angle of the eyes and that is nighest unto the nostrils being forcibly pressed together do forthwith stay and stop the frequency thereof Title VII Of the diseases of the Tongue and the Symptoms thereof THe Affects of the Tongue are a Tumor or swelling Ranula a blackness a Palsy a stammering an Aphony

the fluxion can be in them no longer contained it partly sweats through the Coats of the Vessels which have also their pores and is partly sent out of the smal Orifices of the Capillary Veins which open themselves into the substance of the part and shed into the empty spaces which are between the first bodies or Particles whence the parts gather Heat The CURE is performed 1. By Blood letting that more blood may not flow into the part If we should presently fal to work with repellers the matter would be carryed to another place 2. By Purgation because sharp Humors give occasion to the Flux 3. By Alteration that the blood may be cooled and thickned provided the Veins be not strait and the Patient not troubled with obstruction of the Bowels 4. By Revulsion that the Humor may be drawn to a contrary part which is then best performed by bloodletting when the matter is much in quantity and violently moved by other waies and means when it is little Yea and in such a case it may be done by Repellers and Discussers 5. By Repulsion with repelling Medicaments either watry only or withal restringent The Former are to be used in thine Humors seated in the surface of the Body not much in quantity Joyned with Heat and of that sort are House leek Venus-navil or Penny-wort Violets and such like The Latter have place in extremity of pain where the Vessels are large and the fluxion is caused through weakness of the parts affected Chirurgeons frequently use the Whites of Eggs beaten together with rose-Rose-water 6. By Interception with Defensative Medicaments which are fitly applied to such parts as are not fleshy and through which the larger Vessels run Oyl is judged improper to be mingled with these kind of Medicaments 7. By Derivation of that blood which has flowed into the parts 8. By Discussion with discussive Medicaments amongst which the Gentler are the Roots of Marsh-Mallows and of white Lillys Chamamel flowers c. The Stronger Orice Roots Elder flowers Gum Ammoniack Bdellium Bears Grease The Strongest of al are Nitre Sulphur Lime c. The DIFFERENCES are taken from the subject and Cause From the Subject 1. There is one of the Fleshy parts which is finished in the fourteenth day Another of the Tendons and Ligaments which because their substance is more compact and hard is terminated with greater difficulty yet it does not exceed the fortieth day From the Cause Either it is from good Blood and is termed simply a Phlegmon or Inflamation or from bad Blood which has either quite changed its nature and that raises no kind of swelling or it has other Humors mingled therewith and then if Choller be mingled it causes that Inflamation which is termed Phlegmone Exysipelatodes is flegm Phlegmon Oedematodes if Melancholy Phlegmon Scirrhodes Article III. Of the Bubo or Inflamation so called The Bubo is an Inflamatian of the Kernels which are seated in the Arme-pits or in the Groines The SIGNES are a stif swelling that yeilds not to the touch with redness pain and a slight fever The CAUSE is Blood slipt into the Kernels together with a vitious Humor provoking Nature to expulsion The CURE is Doubtful when they ripen slowly because they may turn to dangerous fistulaes It is according to the Cure of Inflamations Digestion must be procured by stronger Medicaments because the part affected is colder Suppuration ought to be hastened least new ones should break forth The Balsam of Sulfur and the Plaister of Sulphur of Rulandus are commended The Differences are divers I. One is Symptomatical to which that which was lately said is appliable Another is Critical which follows another Disease and eases the sick by its breaking forth It must be left to Nature if the Crisis be perfect if it be imperfect the Humor must be drawn forth by Cupping-Glasses and drawing Medicaments II. One sort comes in the Groines which is sooner ripe because it springs from blood and more Heat flows to those parts Another is in the Arme pits which for the contrary Cause is long ere it come to Maturity III. Some Buboes are Neither Malignant nor Contagious which being in the extream parts of the Body are soon suppurated and not dangerous Others are Malignant Pestilential or Venerious of which see in their proper places Article IIII. Of the Phygetlon Phyma Furunculus or Felon Tumor so called Phygetlon or Panus is an hard swelling somtimes arising after Feavers or pains in the Kernels or Almonds of the Eares It Arises either Externally from an Ulcer Pain Bruise or Internally from Chollerick Blood or a Feaver and is long in ripening Oyl of Guaiacum Wood is good in this case Phyma is a round swelling of the Kernels smaller and flatter than the Phygetlon less read and less painful which soon comes to its height and turnes to suppuration It Arises from Flegmatick Blood and troubles Children cheifly It is Cured by ripning through application of tosted Wheat c. Furunculus or Dothien a Felon is a little swelling sharp pointed not exceeding the largness of a Pigeons Egg remarkeable for its redness and pain when it tends to Suppuration Its Signes are known by the definition It seldom comes single It Springs from thick blood and is thereby distinguished from an Inflamation and the said Blood is not much a dust and so it is differenced from a Carbuncle The Cure is easie especially if it rise high pointed and is not hard nor forked It is performed by Ripening It is either Mild and Gentle occupying only the Skin or Malignant rooted in the flesh Or it is Pestilentical and Epidemical which being black or green is joyned with a Malignant Feaver Article V. Of the Tumer Parotis Parotis is an Inflamation of the Kernels behind the Eares proceeding from Blood either pure or mixed with vitious Humors The Signs are Swelling Pain Redness which appears behind the Ears The Cause is blood either alone or mixed with other vitious Humors which slips into these parts being sent from the whol body or from rhe Brain In the Cure we must not repel but Discuss by gentle Medicaments least stronger should exasperate the Pain Also Suppuration may be procured when Nature tends that way The DIFFERENCES are divers I. One sort is Critical arising with Critical signs which is easie to cure unless it hapen in the end of a Disease after other Evacuations without the Abatement of the Symptomes If it vanish away without Suppuration it wil come again It must be left to Nature and being returned it must be judged of according to the Nature of its return Another is Symptomatical which if it spring from crude and undigested matter it is dangerous because the place is so nigh the brain In the Cure its antecedent Cause must be deminished and the Matter discussed softened and opened that the Quittor may do no hurt II. Some are without feavers others with feavers which are more dangerous III. Some are without Malignity others are Pestilential
the Skin with a spot which is red broad and dispersed up and down The SIGNS are it seazes the patient with shiverings after which a Feaver follows There is a vehement biting and burning so that smal bladders somtimes arise The color is red inclining to yellow not red inclining to brown which being pressed with the finger vanishes and quickly returns A pain which is neither pulsative nor vehement and stretches it self out to the neighbouring parts without tension These signs are not observable in an Inflamation or Phlegmon The CAUSE is Chollerick blood which is bred by an hot Liver whereby it becomes more thin and movable or by nature many times because of a maligne quality it is driven into the outward parts or is moved by external Causes c. The CURE is hard if it follow upon the baring or fracture of bones It if turne from the external to the internal parts It is putrifie or suppurate If it arise on the Head or Face because the Tumor being augmented it causes the squinzy If in the Liver or Womb of Women with Child because it kils the Infant It respects 1. The driving away of the Disease to which end are subservient 1. Blood-letting from the Liver or median Vein in Plethorick and gross bodies 2. Purgation by the cooler sort of choler-purgers 3. Provocation of sweat by Venice Treacle in Elder-flower water c. 4. Application of Topick or external Medicaments which must be liquid and thin and frequently renewed The principal are the Lapis Medicamentosus Crollij Menstrual blood dissolved in Groundsel-Water and Rose-vinegar Balsom of Litturige with Camphire in Frog-spawne-Water Decoction of red Myrrh and Olibanum each one ounce in Wine and vinegar of each four ounces A Linnen bay ful of wheat bran heated The Liniment of Sebize at the end of his Book de Acidis 2. Preservation from this Disease Where Blood-letting is useful twice a year Purgation by Choler-purges Diet enclining to cooling and moistning wearing of stockings wet in Frog-spawn-water The use of that Preservative mentioned by Sinnartus in his second Book of Feavers Chap. 16. It is divided two manner of waies I. One is Exquisite to which the general rules aforesaid agree Another is Bastard and that either Phlegmonodes Oedematodes c. Wherein the Tumor is greater II. One is Simple in which the top of the Skin is colored and tainted and dry scales are raised like bran In this case after general remedies cooling Topicks are to be applied and the discussion must be left to Nature Another is Vlcerous in which after the pustles are broken saines or Blood-Water and quitter come out It quickly breaks froth with an evident Fluxion It has great moist pustles T is quickly come to solution and of its own accord and so t is distinguished from Herpes To this al other things corresponding cooling Topicks or external Medicaments may be applied til the color of the skin be altered See the Cure in Rulandus Article II. Of Herpes or the Shingles Herpes Fermica or the Shingles is a Tumor raised by Yellow choler pure and unmixt with other Humors upon the surface of some part of the body and creeping along to the neighbouring parts The SIGNS are a broad Tumor ruffing the Skin hardness pain sense of burning it makes a Circular kind of progress the middle parts healing while the extream parts break out a fresh The CAUSE is Yellow choler sincere or unmixt and thicker than in St. Anthonies fire proceeding from its causes The CURE respect 1. The whol Body which must be Evacuated 2. The part affected which must be gently cooled Digestion must be used and discussion by dryers if heat permit It s divided into Simple and Eating I. The Simple or Milet fashon'd Herpes roughs the top of the Skin and is quartered only under the Epidermis or Skarfe-skin raising thereupon very smal pupples which have very smal height from the skin like the graines of milet If the pustles are whole cold and dry things must be used if broke cleansers Water of quick-Lime and Sugar of Lead are very good A Decoction of Arse-smart and Resberry leaves in water and Wine c. II. The Eating or devouring Herpes the pustles being broken exulcerates the true Skin spreading it self in depth and breadth and is long in coming forth by little and by little it has dry pustles lasts long and comes unattended by a Feaver Thus it is distinguished from an Vlcerous St. Anthonies fire Stronger Medicaments must be used in these sorts of shingles Chap. 3. Of Tumors springing from Flegm Article I. Of the Tumor cald Oedema OEdema being the only Tumor arising from Flegm is a swelling caused by Flegmatick matter which Nature exples into the parts of the Body The SIGNS are the softness and loosness of the Tumor pain none or very little whiteish color no heat The CAUSE is Flegmatick matter the colder and moister part of the blood which is somtimes expelled by Nature somtimes tends downwards by its own weight and settles in the extream parts It cheifly quarters upon the Hands and feet being Members remote from the Fountain of Heat The CURE is performed 1. By Diet which must not occasion Fleagm and crudities Fish are allowed that swim in stony-bottomd Rivers 2. By Alteration and Digestion where Oxymel and Oxysaccharum are good 3 By Resolving with Discussers but the part ought first to be heated by frictions and fomentations 4. By Suppuration if by pulsation and pain we perceive it tending thereto Whereof see Platerus The Differences are sundry I. One springs from Flegm alone which is more lasting and is for the most part discussed by Resolution that is to say through the pores of the Skin Another comes from it and other Humors mixt therewith which sometimes suppurates especially if it be in an hot part II. One arises of it self which is not dangerous Another sort follows other Diseases as the Consumption cooling of the Liver c. Which is dangerous and threatens death In the Cure regard must be had of the Diseases upon which it depends Chap. 4. Of Tumors proceeding from the Melancholick Humor Article I. Of the Tumor called Scirrhus THe Tumors which arise from the Humor of Melancholick are the Scirrhus and Cancer The Scirrhus is an hard Tumor without pain springing from a Melancholick Humor which is thick clammy and roaping The SIGNS are little or no pain over-great hardness want of feeling when it is pressed The CAUSE is an Humor either Malancholick that is to say the dreggy part of the Blood or the natural Malancholick Excrement or somtimes also Flegmatick which is either thickned by heat dissipating the thinner parts from thence Inflamations St. Anthonies fire c.

T is known by the swelling of the Veins and the part being Lead-colored or black It arises from thick Melancholick blood which fals into the place either through its own weight or being thrust thither by some violent Cause Varices ought not to be Cured if they be critical and free the patients from other Diseases as they are wont to do from madness If they are to be Cured they are hardly Curable by Section but best of al by extraction of which see Aquaependens III. Elephantiasis of the Arabians is a Tumor of the Feet springing from Melancholick Flegmatick blood and the Varices Herein the Thighes are swelled of a Leaden-color black and ful of Ulcers It can hardly be Cured without a continual and long Course of Phyfick Chap. IX Of Malignant Tumors A single Article Of the Elephantiasis MAlignant Tumors are sundry Viz. Buboes Carbuncles Smal Pocks Meazels Elephantiasis Of the rest I have spoke or shal speak elsewhere I shal here treat only of the Elephantiasis T is called also Leontiasis Satyriasis and Lepra Being a Cancerous Tumor of the whole Body springing from black choler infected with a Venemous quality and shed
There is here Good hope of a cure if there appear on the fourth day good and promising Signs if pus to wit snot or filth or water flow forth by the nostrils ears or eyes But is somewhat doubtful if there be present with it an acute feaver and that the ut in be white because then the choler is carried upwards and an inflamation is greatly to be feared if the Patient vomit up that which is Eruginous or in color like unto brass and that the Party be over long kept awake and deprived of his rest especially if a deafness accompany it in regard that by reason of the choler that is gotten together they suddenly fal into a violent and vehement madness if they be surprised with a Congelation or taking as we cal it together with a stoppage of the belly a fierce and wild countinance and that the face be extraordinarily red and fiery because then they are suddenly surprised with a crick in the neck that affect which we usually terme opisthotonos if likewise there happen together with it a sound or ringing in the ears without a Feaver if there accompony it a vertigo or giddiness in the head a hoarsness of the voice and a benummedness in the hands for then they sudenly become either appoplectical or Epileptical and Apoplexy and Epilepsie or falling sickness most commonly following thereupon But there is no hope at al or if any very little if where â—â—it was very vehement it suddenly vannish away and conceal it selfe there following no alleviation by the crisis if the extream parts become exceeding cold because that the native heat being drawn back a Phlegmon may easily be excited if it happen to be with an acute feaver and that on the fourth day there appear some pernitious sign or other if a sound person so soon as he is surprised and taken herewith become instantly speechless and snort and yet is not afflicted with any strong feaver wherby probably he might be freed from the aforesaid distemper The Cure if there by any is performed I. By mettigation of the pain either by anodines of river craw-fish beaten wel together with rose vinegar vervain water and the root thereof wel bruised and imposed on the part affected the Allabastrine unguent before mentioned al which ought to be applied unto the suâ—ures and temples or else by narcotick remedies which may only be applied unto the forehead and layd thereon II. It is to be accomplished by removai of the Causes and strengthening the part touching which see further in the differences The Differnces of the Cephalalgy are many and those very various I. One difference hereof is symptomatical of which we here treat Another is Critical which beginneth not to afflict the patient from the first rise of the dâ—stemper but much about the time of the Crisis and then the breathing suddenly becometh short and very difficult the Hypecondria being drawn back the veins are swoln and the arteries beat in the Temples the cheeks wax red and tears flow forth of their accord the patient not being able to withstand it the sick party streacheth his nostrils with his hands and then most commonly there floweth a streaming forth of the blood II. Another is External which seizeth the pericranium is perceived in the very superficies reacheth unto the roots of the eye-lids is exasperated by the compression of the hairs and hands Another internal which becomes easy and moderate upon the very touch especially if it be without any distention and it extendeth it self even unto the roots of the eyes III. Another is from Causes External to wit 1. Ebriety with beer in which the herb Chamaepence is boiled easily and soon causeth And then the matter fluctuating in the stomach is to be cast forth thence by vomit The leaves either of the Colewort or Cabbage throughly moistened in warme water or else the leaves of Rue wel brused together with rose vinegar are to be applied The head is to be al over wet and besprinkled with the spirit of wine and the feet are chafed and rubbed with salt and vinegar 2. By a Contusion stroke wound in which case the cure is to be sought for above in and from their proper places 3. By the heat of the sun the heat of a Bath and of the soucherly winds And then the head is to be delt withal by cooling fomentations c. 4. By the use of other things offensive such as are dates walours chestnuts Filbirds toad-stools hempseed the seeds of Coriander not prepared Frankinsence styrax and Mirh if moderatly taken c. Another is from Internal causes to wit 1. From a distemper without matter which if it be hot the pain is vehement and the head becommeth hot if it â—e cold the pain lasteth so much the longer and the head is cold In this case the little rols or cakes of diamâ—scum dulce and a little bag of heating Cephalicks are very convenient If it be dry the pain is moderate dul and notacute and there went before causes that were extreamly efficating and drying 2. From a distemper with matter which is either from blood and then the paine is more gentle and moderate which cheifly seizeth the fore part of the head and increaseth before the time of repast The Cure is to be sought in its due and proper places Or else it hath its original from yellow choler and then the pain is extreamly pricking and corroding and for the most part fasteneth upon and seizeth the right side of the fore part of the head In the cure those things that are most fit and likely to effect it are Epithenâ—s of Opiat Laudanum with rose water vesicatories applied unto the neck the smelling of rose water with Camphire washing of the head with a decoction of agarick together with the flowers oscamomil scarification of the lips of the ears c. or else it procedeth from flegm and then a pain afflicteth the patient on the right side or the hinder part of the head rather then else where Medicaments good and sucessful against this malady are oxymel with squils the water of the flowers of the elder tree of penyroyal of rosmaâ—y with cristal of nitre the shels of peaches beaten together with verveyn water the oyl of nutmeg pressed or drawn forth the Balsam against the Apoplexy that of yellow amber and the sacculus or little bag of Hartmannus Or else it ariseth from blak choller or melancholly and then the watchings are very extream greivous together with a pain of the left side of the hinder part of the head Let the cuâ—e be sought for in iâ—s proper place 3. from a wind and then the pain wandereth as it were and flyeth up and downe hiâ—her and thither it puffeth out and extendeth the part where it is often returning and running back again at some certain constant hours of the day It is discussed scattered if so be that the temples and the coronal suture be frequently anoynted and
Shal be thought fit and sufficient the Trochisques of Poppy of Mynsichtus If the humor be salt then Spike is to be added and in those that are Asthmatical al sorts of Odoriferous suffumigacions and perfumes are to be shunned So soon as they awake in the morning that that hath flown down into the Breast is to be Evacuated Another is Suffocative and choking which with great violence floweth to the Lungs and Heart Unto this we must with al possible speed apply a Remedy by Revulsion by Clysters Frictions Applications of Emplasters the hair being first cut short or shaven that have in them a power to suspend and keep off the Catarrh inunctions and often anoyntings of the Nostrils with the balsam of yellow Amber Suffumigations c. In this case likewise there is not known a more present Remedy than a Vomit in regard that it also driveth and casteth forth whatsoever is stuffed and impacted into the Lappets of the Lungs III. Another is from a Matter that is gotten together in the brain through some default of the said brain Another is a certain matter that is communicated unto the brain either from a colder stomach and a Hotter Liver or else from some other Bowels In the Cure of this the parts commanding are especially to be heeded and due provision is to be made for them And those that find themselves subject and liable unto more frequent Catarrhs these ought every month a little before the new of the Moon gently to purge the Body and more especially if their belly be dry and costive The Wine of Pope Adrian which is so extreamly commended against Catarrhs is Composed of the Rinds of al the Myrobalans together with ther Kernels first of al dryed of each two drams and an half Cinnamom one dram Cloves Galangal Cubebs Cardamon's Grains of paradise of each half a scruple Red Roses dry one dram and half the flowers of Rosemary or Anthos and of Lavender of each half a dram wel beaten together and then mingled with seaven measures of Wine Title III. Of the Diseases of the Eyes Chap. 1. Of the Affects of the Eye-Lids WE have thus finished the Affects of the Brain the Diseases of the Eyes either they affect the parts encompassing about the Globe of the Eye or the constituting the same or else they touch and affect the whol globe it self of the eye Those parts that surround and encompass the Eye are the Eye-Lids the Eye-brows and the angular flesh at the corners thereof The Maladies and affects of the Eye-Lids are I. That we cal Trachoma or a certain roughness of the internal part of the Eye-Lids It is known by the redness thereof the itching and as it were the sticking out of Millet grains It ariseth from an adust humors that is Salt sharp and biting and oftentimes likewise from over sharp Collyries It is Cured by the Evacuation of the body by the averting and turning away of the matter by Repercussives by the application of Topical first those that we cal Emollient or mollitying and qualifying the Acrimony of the peccant humor and then by and by such Topicks as cleanse as for instance Aloes dissolved in Rose Water and Myrrh dissolved in a Womans Breast Milk which ought now and then to be intermitted lest that they over forcibly make an impression of their strength upon the Eyes and by rubbing of the Eye-Lid inverted and turned the inside outward with Sugar Candy even until the blood follow It is divided in a two-fold manner I. Into that we cal Dasutes in which the Eye-Lids are only red rough and itching Sycosis in the which there are sticking out as it were the smal grains or seeds of Figgs Tylosis in which the part being exulcerated contracteth to it self a scissure and callosity or an insensible hard and thick Skin and that we term Psorophthalmia or a scab of the Eye which affecteth the whol Eye-Lid and specially toward the corners of the Eyes and this is Cured Universal and general Remedies being first premised by a Liniment of Roses and adding thereto a very little of Tuty prepared II. It is divided into that which hath its original from the blood in which the itching is not so great as in the former from yellow Choler in which there are smal pustules or pushes from Salt Flegm out of which there passeth forth more of the serous or wheyish humor and lastly from black Choler or Melancholy in the which that which cometh forth is discoloured Black and Blewish II. The second Malady and affect of the Eye-Lids is that we cal Emphysema a Tumor or swelling of the Eye-Lids which happeneth either from external Causes to wit the spiders touch the stinging of the wasp the Bee or the Nettle and then a Bee bruised and beaten to pieces is to be imposed upon the place Treacle and the Juyce Of Plantaine are to be spread and the place anoynted therewith Or else from Causes internal to wit a Hot humor where the Ophthalmick of Rhasis hath its place and is of singular use A Waterish and Wheyish humor in Feavers of long continuance watchings and in the Cachexy and here Fomentations of a Decoction that Mollifyeth and scattereth are rightly and fitly administred III. The third Affect is termed Coalitus when either the Eye-lids grow together one to the other or else with the white or the horny or both those Tunicles of the eye It is not to be Cured without much difficulty if the Eye-Lids wholly grow together but seldom or never if they grow together with the Cornea or horney Tunicles but more easily if it stick only unto the eye in the extremity thereof and if it be only as it were agglutinated or glewed together unto the Adnata Tunicle It ariseth either from an Vlcer negligently and unskilfully Cured in the which whatever in the healing thereof might have been drawn forth hath been agglurinated and here in this case opening of the part affected taketh place or else it hath its Original from a Flegmatick and Viscid or clammy matter flowing unto the eye-lids and here we are to make use of Revulsion by Vesicatories and likewise Repulsion or driving back of the aforesaid matter IV. The Cancer whether exulcerated or not of which we have sufficiently spoken before in the second Book V. Inversion which we may likewise cal Ectropium to wit the turning inside outward of the lower Eye-Lid arising 1. from a Resolution or Palsie of which see elsewhere 2. From the Increasing of the flesh in the internal part which is either to be consumed by Medicaments or else wholly to be taken away by section and cutting thereof 3. From the ill curing of the wound or Vlcer where likewise incision hath its fit and proper place Or else it is that which we term Lagophthalmos to wit of the superior eye-Lids proceeding from the undue conformation or ill frame thereof which in regard of its composure wil hardly admit of any Cure 2. From the custom
Clammy and Flegmatick whether generated out of the meats or flowing thither from some other part The Cure ought to be fetcht from the Chapter of distemper 3. by a defect and weakness of attraction Either by reason of a cold and moist distemper or by reason of the interception of the passages by the obstruction of the mesaraick and hollow part of the Liver in the Cure of which those parts must be respected 4 By hindrance of Evaporation either when the substance of the body is not emptyed either by reason of the constipation of the pores and thickness of the Skin which a Bath of sweet water wil take away or the weakness of Native heat whether acquired by a cold distemper or idlenss or by reason of the tenacity sixt and firme concretion of the substantifical moisture which doth not easily yeild to the gentle and pleasing heat that feeds upon it There is another from the not perceiving of the sucking which 1. by Diseases of the brain in which either the Nerves of the sixth pair are affected or the Animal spirits are not generated or their influx is hindred or which happens in acute Feavers they do languish or the faculty as in the Phrenitical c. is converted another way The Cure ought to respect those Diseases 2. by Diseases of the Stomach it self whether they be of distemper or of Composition or of solution of unity of which we treated before The appetite is raised by taking away the causes partly by cooling things if a hot Cause did precede partly by heating things if a cold Wormwood Wine is very much commended Article III. Of too great Appetite Too great Appetite is distinguished into two Species viz. A Dog-like Appetite and Bulimus I. A Dog-like Appetite is a continual insatiable desire of Eating arising from a Vehement sense of sucking in the mouth of the stomach afflicting somtimes with vomiting somtimes with a loosness There is no need of SIGNS whereas they are exprest in the definition The CAUSE is a Vehement sense of sucking and pricking in the Orifice of the stomach but whence it comes is explained in the Differences The CURE which is timely to be administred least the sick fal either into a custome of vomiting or into the Caeliacal passion or into a dropsie doth respect 1. The hunger it self which is allayed either with the Use of Fat things or with the Yolks of Egs hardened in Water or what is best with Wine 2. The Causes of which we wil treat in the Differences The Differences are taken from the Causes urging the Suckings I. One is from the too great want of nourishment in the Body or by Reason of worms feeding on the Child which shew themselves by biting and they are cast forth by the use of Hiera Picra or by reason of too great Evacuations both sensible and insensible by the habit of the Body by Reason of too great a heat of the moisture to which conduceth much the tenuity of the Humors and thinness of bodies Laxness of pores c. And then sweats do molest The Cure is to be turned to the Particular Diseases Or by reason of the long use of Detersive Nourishment as Pigs Lobsters c. II. There is another from cold acid and more austere Humors wrinkling the Orifice of the Stomach compressing and pulling it as are acid Flegm and Melancholly poured into the Stomach and then the signs of a cold distemper are present amongst purger Hiera Picra is good as also Zacutus his Wine Lib. Ult. Hist Prax. ca. 2. n. 9. II. Bulimus is a great Appetite Periodical which aftentimes ends in a Nauseousness with Faintings away and loss of strength The Signs are explained in the Definition The Cause is doubted of by Physitians yet most do hold that t is a cold distemper of the Stomach whereupon t is wont often to happen to those that make long Journeys through deep snow There is no Cure if it happen in Chronical Diseases somtimes after Feavers and other Diseases it threatens a relapse It respects 1. The time of the fit when the swouning happens in which we must use frictions and revivers as the smel of Wine Vinegar c. 2. The time out of the fit in which after the sick hath recollected himself meats of good juyces must be ministred bread dipt in Wine c. And by external means the heat must be restored to the Stomach Article IV. Of a Depraved Appetite or Pica Pica which is also Citta and Malacia is so called from the bird Pie which is sick of this disease it is an absurd appetite to a strange substance liquid or solid beside the ature or essence of nourishment from a sad sense of sucking and corrupt judgment not discerning things fit or unfit for eating from a Vitious Excrement imbibed in the coats by a peculiar propriety of substance molesting the mouth of the Stomach The SIGNS are manifest because they desire meats of Vitious qualities there preceded excess indigestion use of meats and drinks of evil qualities a suppression of the Courses c. The CAUSE is a sad sense of sucking Molesting which is Caused by the matter impacted in the Coats of the Stomach either acting by its whol substance or by a manifest quality arising from an evil Course of Diet or sent from some other part as from the womb whereupon t is familiar to Childing Women about the second and third Month but there is wont at the beginning while the Causes do alter to be raised a desire of contrary things but when by long custome there is a familiarity contracted things like are desired The CURE must be haistened left a Cacochymy or Dropsie be caused The peccant matter is most commodiously cast forth by vomit which in Childing Women must be Caused by those which are more gentle The Stomach may be strengthened with water of Cinnamon of Orange Pils magistral of Corals c. Article V. Of too great Thirst Too great thirst or Poludipsia is a greater and oftner desire of accustomary drink by reason of a sad sence of sucking in the Mouth of the stomach arising from the defect of moist nourishment and the alteration of its proper Humidity The SIGNS of the Symptom are manifest of themselves The CAUSE is a sad sense of sucking which the want of moisture and the plenty of heat have raised but whence that proceeds shal be explained in the Differences The CURE doth respect 1. The too urgent Symptom which is mitigated by Crystal or Coral held in the Mouth cold water corrected with a little Vinegar the iuyce of live Crabs with water of violets and Housleek sprinkled with a little Niter a Lohoc compounded of the Mucilage of the Seeds of fleawort and quinces of each half an ounce Sugar Candy of violets pouderd Starch Tragacanth of each one dram Syrup of violets as much as is sufficient With spring Water boyled with Sugar Candy adding a Pome Citron cut in two c.

By things that drive them forth which are melted butter great quantity of Oyl a Bath of sweet Milk fuming hot if the Worms be yet alive Diaturbith with Rhubarb Ruffus Pils and de Tribus Solutivis if they be dead The Difference is taken from their figure I. Some are smooth or round in which the knawing of the Belly is more vehement a dry cough more frequent the hickops nauseousness loathing of meat faintings of the heart troubled dreams with trembling rising up crying out motion of the Jaws c. Clysters are not convenient for these unless they be dead II. Others are broad in which the Excrements are not unlike to gourd Seeds there is an insatiable desire of meat and a quick casting forth of the Body of that which is taken a greater leanness and wasting of the Body a pain somtimes in the right side somtimes in the left Fearn or its water is good against them Walnuts Treacle with Vinegar or the Juyce of Lemons Concerning the broad worm see Tulpius in his observations III. Others are called Ascarides in which there is a continual pain a most troublesome itching about the Fundament as if it were ful of Aunts with a heaviness in the back continual Motions to stool moth-like worms are every where mixt with the Excrements of the Belly which smel very strong c. Article IV. Of the Rupture of the Guts A Rupture of the Guts is a falling down of the Guts out of their place 'T is called by the Greeks Kele by the Latines otherwise Ramix and Ruptura The SIGNS are a Tumor which somtimes encreaseth somtimes decreaseth according as a greater part of it it fals down or is filled with wind or Excrement there is no pain unless by chance the Excrements be fallen thither The Patient being prest down or laid on his back the guts slide back into the belly and that with a murmur c. The CAUSES are those things which can Relax or break the process derived from the Peritonaeurn as shal be said in the Differences The CURE is not to be neglected both because that thin and Nervous Membrane cannot easily be united and because somtimes the Patient his Guts being inflamed is brought into danger of his life and the Guts inflamed do mortefie It respects 1. The Replacing of the Guts which if they be swelled with wind as the rumbling in the Guts and breaking of wind do declare it must be done by discussives if they swel with Excrements hardned then both with Emollient Clysters and Cataplasmes and Fomentations If with Flegmatick matter it must by little and little be emptyed by Clysters and suppositories and be attenuated by internal incisive means if there availe nothing we must flie to Chirurgery concerning which consult with Authors 2. The retaining of them in their place here are proper Horse Tongue which is most excellent the pouder of Mouse-Eare given with meats Through wax Rupture wort The Ashes of a sucking hare given to drink in red Wine The Seed of Flix weed the plant fern pouderd and given each half a dram The Differences are taken from the Causes and places into which they fal 1. One is from a Rupture of the Peritonaeum which is known by this that a Tumor is suddainly raised and also is quickly increased the Gut fals down to the very bottome It ariseth from violent Causes fals straining to cast forth the Child or the Excrements of the Belly holding of the breath straining of the voice wounds of the Peritonaeum c. In the Cure a Ligature being applied shal be given inwardly one spoonful of the essence of the greater comfrey with two drops of the balsome of Sal Gemmae Outwardly must be applyed Villanovanus his Plaister of a Rams Skin Mynsichtus Armam p. 364. And the same Authors Vnguent against a Rupture p. 352. The fat of a Hedg-Hog concerning which see Hartman If these do no good seek for help from Chirurgery of which see Platerus Another is from the Relaxation of the Peritonaeum which is known by this that the Tumor grows by little and little and the Gut doth not descend to the very bottome It ariseth both from the moisture of the Peritonaeum whence Children often fal into a rupture and from those things which break it if by degrees and often they assaile the Peritonaeum though not so violently II. There is another called Oskeocele when the Guts descend into the very God 't is known by seeing Another Bubonocele when they fal down no lower than the groin This somtimes doth very much distend the Skin and is stretched out under it and Causeth a great Tumor Both of them is either Enterocele when the Ileon Gut cheifly fal down or Epiplocele when some part of the Cal. See Geigerus in his Kelegraphy Hither belongs Exomphalos or Omphalocele when the Navel either Relaxt or broke struts forth somtimes the bigness of a nut somtimes of an Apple nay somtimes there is a Tumor raised like a Bag. If it be lately first of al foment it with a Decoction of tree Mosse self Heal made in astringent Wine afterwards lay a Cataplasme of Plantane and Lentils If it be Old after the like Fomentations t is Cured with the Oyntment of Mushrums of Nuts outwardly applied with convenient ligature inwardly with the essence of the greater comfrey with the Arcanum of Sal Gemmae Article V. Of the falling down of the Fundament and of the wounds and Vicers of the Guts 1. The falling down of the Fundament is a hanging forth of the outer part of the right Gut There is no need of SIGNS The CAUSES shall be spoke of in the Differences The CURE requireth I. A putting up of the Fundament fallen down which is performed gently with the Hand premising a Fomentation of emollient and
One spoonful of the tincture of orange peels extracted with spirits of wine Sperma ceti with oyl of sweet almonds Outwardly gum taccamahac and Caranna applyed to the Navel The antiapoplectical balsome with one or two grains of Zivet c. IV. One is exquisite of which we have hitherto spoken Another Spurious whose cause sticks either in the peritoneum or in the membranes which are spred over the abdomen and parts of the belly 'T is known by this that the paine is most greivous and very lasting and cannot be mitigated neither by glysters nor medicines nor fomentations nor by those remedies by which the true collick pains are abated and yet it succeeds to long continued feavers and other cholerick diseases whose solution is difficult For nature endeavoring a crisis and the expulsion of the hurtful humor by the stoole when she can no where find a ready and cleare way to empty it doth often cast it out of the veins and bowels into the membranes whence do arise pains more grievous than the former disease 'T is observed by Fernelius that both continuall feavers and tertians and more frequently quartans are terminated with these pains which a long time had their exacerbations at certaine circuits and retained the like order of fits See concerning this Mattheus Martinus on the diseases of the Mesentery V. Another is which tends to a particular palsey which Palmarius was wont to cure with a syrup compounded of white wine six ounces Rose water two ounces pouder of Alarbazi or antimony prepared one dram choice cinnamon one dram and an half infused al night strained by gentle pouring it off adding of Sugar eight ounces The dose is from half an ounce to an ounce after a draft of chicken broath Article 3. Of Costiveness of body Costiveness of body is no casting forth of excrements or very little in proportion to the nourishment received There is no need of signs The causes shal be explained in the differences The cure is not to be neglected for from thence the head is assaulted with vapors the whole body grows heavy the concoction of the stomach is hindred the appetite destroyed the loines grow weak to wit the veines being burthend and a preternatural heat caused in them Sometimes the belly is moved by sneezing and coughing sometimes if the diseased walk on the ground bare sooted c. The difference is taken from the excrements and guts I. One is by default of the excrements which either are not by reason of fasting and the use of meats of good juice Or do not stimulate either by reason they are small in quantity or by reason of the want of choler which either is carried to other parts as in the jaundice or is not produced out of cold meats Or they are hard either by fasting and a hot habit of body or by a continued restraint there by which it comes to pass that they forthwith grow dry and the veins of the mesentery do suck forth somwhat of their juice Or by reason of gross tough astringent meat eaten at first and not moistned by reason of the too great heat of the liver and kidnies and then there must be care taken of those parts we must act by mollefyers Solenanders liniment is approved of if the navil be anointed therewith 't is compounded of new oyle of sweet almonds goose grease May butter dialthea each two drams Coloquintida sixteen grains Salt one scruple and half the pouder of Simple hiera one scruple diagridium four grains II. Another is by fault of the guts which either do not feel either by reason of their long custom or by their stupidity such as is caused by the drowsy disease palsy apoplexy or by reason of flegme adhering to their coats of which in the chollick Or do not cast it forth either by reason of the narrowness of the passages from the obstruction of the guts of which formerly or of some tumor of the mesentery or bowels pressing the guts or from the fault of the muscles of the belly or from the strength of the retentive faculty from the moderate dryness Article 4. Of a Looseness Point 1. Of a Lientery and Coeliaca Fluxes of the belly are A Lientery Coeliaca Diarrhy Dysentery and Hepatick flux A Lientery is too sudden a voiding by the stool the nourishment in that forme in which it was received proceeding from the fault of the retentive and expulsive faculty of the stomach and guts The SIGNES are evident whether you consider the consistence or the colour smel and other qualities of the aliments taken The CAVSE we have laid in the definition on the faults of the retentive and explusive faculty of which hereafter in the differences The CURE must be hastened because this symptome proceeds from a great prostration of the natural heat and a weakness of the tone of the stomach 'T is difficult if it be supervenient to acute and chronical diseases because the strength is impaired It respects 1. The cause which must be taken away 2. The symptome which must be stayed by astringent means and things that stregthen the stomach and guts The Diffence is taken from the causes One is by default of the retentive faculty which is hurt 1. By the refrigeration of the guts which is caused I. By immoderate drinking of cold water especially when the body is hot by a southerne wind over moist and excessive cold especially in bodies of a fine texture c. 2. A cold distemper which ariseth from flegm either generated there or sent from some other part covering over the wrinkles of the guts doth make them laxe and slippery duls their heat and closeth up the mouths of the mesaraick veins In this for the most part a Celiaca was precedent If sour belching which was not before be supervenient to this of long continuance it is a good signe The Cure requires a casting forth of the matter either by vomit or stoole to which end serve Myrobalans Chebul Citrini tamarinds Rbubarb A restraint of the same and strengthening of the stomach by the distilled oyles of masticke wormwood mint c. order of dyet in which wine takes place II. by a laxness from the continuall use of things oyly fat and emollient from whence is too great a mollification of the Mouth of the stomach whether also belongs the resolution of the nerve of the sixth payre that contracts the fibres of the inward coat III. By a strange quality inured and that either from an evil constitution of the aire as happens in a popular lientery or from the unseasonable eating of mushrums melons cowcumbers c. IV. By a thick and smooth scar such as is wont to follow a great disentery and a deep ulceration which by its thickness stopping the Mesaraicks hinders the distribution by its smoothness the Retention This must be rubbed off and wiped away as it were by eating of sharp things attenuating and strong abstersive as musterd Seed Onions Garlicks honey of
must be emptyed especially with things that purge water 3. To open obstructions is commended the cachectick pouder of steele prepared one part Cassia lignea three parts of the whitest sugar four the pouder of young geese turds 4. Sweats are happily moved with antimony diaphoretick 5. The Cachexy of virgins is driven away by the distilled water of Walnutts fresh cut into thin slices steeped in white wine twenty four hours sweetened with Canary sack and exposed some few days to the sun and taken three ounces weight using exercise after it Article 3. Of the dropsy in general The dropsy is considerd either in General or in special The dropsy considered in general is a tumor of the body or of part of it preternatural arising from a watrish and serous humor or a collection of wind The Signs of it are a swelling and puffing up of the body a heaviness difficulty of breathing an extensive pain in the right or left hypochondry a filthy color of the face betwixt green and whitish or declining to a yellowish or lead color little urine and deep dyed continuall thirst partly from the defect of natural and alimental moisture partly from the ascent of hot salt vapors drying up the mouth of the stomach partly by reason of the little aire drawn in whence the heart and lungs also boyl with thirst But concerning the tumor of the feet we must note 1. That they cheifly swel after excercise of the body and in the eveining because the waterish humor by its own weight tends downwards 2. In the night concoction being finisht the swelling bates by reason of the increase of the heat the heat of the bed helping somwhat too 3. They do often swel in those that are recovering either from acute diseases or of long continuance because the languishing heat cannot concoct so much as the patient receives and the crude and serous part which ariseth from thence flyes to the feet without any eminent danger if it be timely taken care of The Cause is the fault of nutrition proceeding from a cold distemper of the liver which is induced either by the extention of heat either immediatly by the six non natural things or mediately by diseases of the whol or of other parts Or by the dissolution or dissipation of it either from too much heat or from other causes The cure is not difficult if the dropsy be of late Difficult if after another disease it seize upon a body weakned If it be inveterate We must observe in it 1. That we begin with gentle things 2. Because the disease is chronical remedies must be used the longer time 3. Least nature be accustomed to them they must be varied 4. Somtimes for a while we must forbear least nature be opprest See the manner in the species Article 4. Of an Ascites The dropsie considered in Specy is either an Ascites or Tympany or Anasarca An Ascites is a distension of the belly from a watry serous and Salt Humor poured forth into its Capacity by default of the Liver Spleen and Kidneys with a Tumor of the â—eâ—t Thighs and somtimes of the God The SIGNS are a swelling of the Belly which begins from the lower parts as being most distant from the heart the fountaine of heat a slenderness of the upper parts the belly being struck a hoarse sound as from a bladder half ful the sick turning from side to side a â—â—ife like the Murmuring or waving of Water The Disease growing strong there follows a difficulty of breathing by reason of the abundance of water lying on the midriffe A Cough somtimes either from the compression of the midriffe or from the peircing of the Water into the breast from whence suffocation in a short time ensues the impression of the Fingers Leaves behind it a manifest mark in the flesh The CAUSE is a watry and serous Humor whence Dropsie people pisse little they that pisse much after great draufts are not taken with a Dropsie And some by abstinence from drink have been restored to health That humor is collected if you consider the place between the stomach and kidnyes through which otherwise naturally the serum is wont to be emptyed especially in the spleen veine the mesaraick and perhaps in the branches of the spleen artery and the roots of those veins about the hollow parts of the bowels gastrical and epiploical Whence after quartanes and long continued feavers whose cause is in the mesaraick veins a dropsy follows If the cause 't is collected from too much drink and moist meats by the accession of the fault of the bowells which either attract or contein the serum by which it comes to pass that it stays in the belly and afterwards is poured forth into its cavity But it is poured forth into the capacity of the belly or that space which is between the peritoneum the caule and the guts cheifly by the epiploick and gastro epiploick branches yet so as neither the caul which hath veins only from the vena porta and can easily receive the burthen of the mesentary and spleen nor the pancreas which in its middle hath a splenicke veine passing to the spleen with the left branch of the celiacal artery are free from fault The humor poured forth although it be cold yet because it contains many salt parts and borrows heat from the neighboring parts 't is hot also but by continuance of time it putrefies from whence is raised a corruption of the bowels a Feaver thirst whiles the vapors strike the mouth of the stomach The Cure is of better hopes if the patient be young and strong If a slave who is able to endure hunger thirst and other troubles if more moisture be voided by urine than is taken if the water which is in the veins flow to the belly or stool the bowels unhurt Of none almost if it come from an acute disease because the bowels the radical moisture being waisted do contract a cold and hectick distemper which cannot be corrected If the water break forth into the caul and that be corrupted If it happen to the splenetick after a longe dysentery because by the passing of the evil humor the symmetry of the innate heat is perisht in the guts and bowels If a cough come upon it because it shews that the watery moisture is so much increased that it penetrates into the breast and doth already possess the rough arteries If impostumations or spots break forth in the thighs if being eased by remedies 't is wholly renewed again because it signifies the bowels are corrupt and possest either with a schirrus or consumption and hectick distemper If it arise from a colliquation because al the strength is dissolved and the body languisheth 'T is perfected 1. By the emptying of the water poured into the belly premising a preparation of thick humors if they intervene But it is emptyed 1.

Of an Vlcer and Wound of the Kidneys Concerning an Vlcer of the Kidneys Let it suffice to have observed these things I. That it doth very seldom happen from an Impostumation of a phlegmon by the Acrimony of the matter flowing thither corroding the Kidney by a blow or fal breaking the Veins yet if it do happen the Cure doth require that the falling down of Humors be stopt by Diet by bleeding and purging they already fallen must be temperd with coolers nephritical means must be emptyed with turpentine reduced with the yolk of an Egg into a liquor or with the pouder of liquorish into a Bolus II. That it is alwaies truely Cause by a Stone restraineth within it which either by its weight doth bruise the Kidney or by fretting diminish and corrode it Then the Urin before it begins to be purulent becomes bloody especially after exercise and labor none or an obscure feaver troubles them If at any time the matter be stopt by the obstruction of the Head of the Ureter that by degrees either redounding by the emulgent into the greater veins will defile the blood and habit of the body or heaped up in that place wil distend the Loyns from which the Skin being opened it wilflow much and a long while III. In the Cure the Decoction of Parsly discribed by Doringius in his Mithridatotechina p. 150. Bears the Palm from al others Concerning a Wound of the Kidneys it shal suffice to have noted these things I. That it is known by the Situation suppression of Urin or difficulty of it by its bloodiness by a pain extending to the groins II. That it is divided into that which is in the Superficies and fleshy Part and then much blood flows forth the Urine goes not forth the stronger agglutinatives may presently be administred and into that which Penetrates even to its Cavity and then the blood goes forth with the Water In the Cure the blood must be stopt This stopping things agglutinating must be given inwardly and laid upon it and here is of force unguentum Sanctum of Andreas a Cruce which see in Sennertus c. Chap. 2. Of the Symptomes of the Kidneys COncerning the Symptomes of the Kidneys Viz. The Separation of the serum hurt and Pain few things present themselves I. The separation of the Serum is hurt by the fault of the emulgent Vessels and Kidneys which either labour of a cold distemper and then the Urine is not suddainly supprest Or of a streitness of which formerly In the Cure Diureticks must be given an hour or two before meat II. The Nature of the Pain may be fetcht from the Chapter of inflamation and stone of the Kidneys At the seat of the Kidney 't is fixt and firm on either side unless that somtimes 't is extended either to the Hip or to the Stone of the same side by the Course of the ureter They that are accustomed to it by reason of the dilatation of the ureters are not so easily affected unless perchance the stone be thick and rough but they who are not accustomed to it or have been seldome and gently troubled with nephritick pains are tormented with the least stone c. Title IX Of the Affects of the bladder Chap. 1. Of the Diseases of the Bladder Article 1. Of the Stone of the Bladder THe Diseases of the Bladder are The Stone Inflamation Vlcers to which ought to be added the streitness of the passage for Vrin What the Stone of the Bladder is may be perceived by the definition of the Stone of the Kidneys The SIGNES of it are an Itching and sharp pain in the Neck of the Bladder the Pubes and Perinaeum which by progression and distention of the Bladder torments with great tortures the Patients are wont to scratch their Privities and often to distend
Parts in Men. Chap. 1. Of their Diseases Article I. Of the Diseases of the Stones THe Diseases of the genital Parts in men have under them the Diseases of the stones Cods and Yard The principal Diseases of the Stones are which follow I. A Distemper and that either hot which is known by a proneness to Venery by too much and hot Seed by heat of the stones by swelling of the Veins about them with blood 'T is Cured by a contrary Diet and cooling Medicines of Littice Water Lillies Purslane but especially by those compounded of Sugar of Saturn and sallow Leaves Or Cold which is known by little and Watry seed by casting it forth with little or no Pleasure little desire to Venery cooling Causes went before or immoderate and unseasonable Venery 'T is Cured by a contrary Diet and taking of medicines inwardly Betony Calamint Marjoram Sage Nettles Nutmegs Diamoschum Outwardly Oyl of Costus Spike of Aunts Or moist which is known by this that the Seed is cast forth too soon Or dry which yeilds little and thick They are Cured by their contraries II. A Tumor which either is an Inflamation in whose Cure for of the rest I have nothing to say observe I. That whiles Medicines are applied to them the ligature ought alwaies to tend towards the upper parts that they may not hang down too much and the defluxion may be less 2. To intercept the flux a defensive must be laid on the side of the Pubes where the Veins and Arteries from the belly tend to the stones and Cod. 3. Other things being a like the Decoction of Agrimony with Wine and Vinegar is commended The Root of wild Cowcumber likewise boyled The Herb Paris green bruised and applied c. A Schirrus or another cold and hard Tumor which oftentimes ariseth from an Inflamation ill Cured 'T is taken away with a Cataplasme of Littice Roots boyled in sweet wine with the flowr of Flax Barley Faenugreek Onyons c. Which must be followed with a Liniment of the Balsom of Sulphur and the Plaister Diasulfuris Or an inflation for the Cure of which serve the Leaves of Henbane and a drauft of Juniper water one ounce weight every day with the Rowls of Diacyminum III. Vlcers which because they are in a moist place are dangerous and somtimes turn to a Cancer or Gangreen They ought to be washt with the decoction of Roses Leaves of Speedwel and Plantan they may be mundefied with the Oyntment of the Apostles IV. A Conâ—usion which is joyned with a great pain it corrupts their Oval Figure and oftentimes takes away the power of generation We must timely oppose the pain least a Defluxion be Caused Article II. Of the Diseases of the Cod. The Diseases of the Cod are Inflamation Excoriation Wounds Vlcers and Rupture Of them there is no need to say any thing An Excoriation is often Caused by the Urin the upper Skin being corroded and 't is Cured by sprinkling of Pompholyx or dryed Myrtle finely poudered searced and mixt with Frankincense or Myrrh A Rupture of the Cod is a Tumor of the same arising either from the cause falling down into it or from wind or water collected there or a masse of Flesh generated there The Species of it are four if you consider the Differences I. One is windy or a Pneumatocele which is known from hence that the Cod somtimes also the stones is very much distended without a weight heaviness the wind is felt if the Cod be prest with the hands and is removed from place to place w th a noise It ariseth from winds which are either collected there or transmitted from the neighbouring Guts and Belly and 't is most familiar with Children 'T is Cured premising universals by things discussing outwardly and inwardly applied A Cataplasm of Bay-berries the flower of Beans and Fenugreek with Bran the pouder of Cummin seed ammoniacum turpentine oxymel and oyl of bays mixt together is good II. Another is watry or a hydrocele which is known because there is perceived a waving the cod appeares as it were shining the tumor alwaies continues at the same bigness neither doth it go up into the belly by pressing it It ariseth from water which for the most part flows thither from the belly for those causes which are mentioned in the dropsy It is cured 1. By prohibition that the watery humor be not generated or flow thither of which see the differences 2. By emptying the water fallen thither either insensibly to which end the former cataplasme wil serve or sensibly by opening of the cod of which see Authors 'T is divided diversly 1. One is from water only distending the cod another also from wind joined with it in whose cure we must have regard to both another from flesh growing together about the stone whose cure must be warily handled that it turne not to a cancer 2. One is with a dropsy and then the cure must be directed against the dropsy Another without a Dropsy in which although there is not such great plenty of water that it can raise up the belly into a tumor that there is somwhat of it collected in the cavity of the belly by reason of the weakness of the parts especially an external cause being added as striking c. The tumor either possesses the whol cod or only one side and then the humor sticks in the erythroidal membrane that conteines the stone The right stone never alwaies the left swels Or the fault is in the left kidny through which when the serum cannot descend it fals through the seminal veine proceeding from the emulgent of the left kidny into the erythroidal coate from the cure of which we must either abstaine or the cod must be opened only in the lower part Or it is not and then the cod must be cut in the upper part neer the groin that both the humor may be emptyed and the afflux of more through the skar of the erythroidal coate be hindred See Frabricius his observations 3. One is when the water is conteined between the erythroidal coat and the darton in which the tumor is rounder like an egge the stone is hidden from the sight and touch the cod it self is more white and is distended little or nothing another is when 't is out of that betwixt it and the adjacent skins in which the stone is to be felt the cod is more distended Another when 't is in its proper skin or coate growing over it in which the tumor is every where globical resembles the draft of another stone III. Another is a fleshy rupture or a Sarcocele in which somthing fleshy is bred It is known by a hard tumor increased by little and little afflicting without a tumor of the groine by which it is distinguished from a rupture of the guts 't is for the most part in the right stone because nature doth most comodiously cast off the blood to the stones by the seminal veine issuing
the same concerning which things see the chapter of the hemrods of the anus Article IV. Of the ulcers of the neck of the wombe There is no need to define what the ulcers of the neck of the womb are Their Signs are a pain and perpetual biting in the same place which by little is increased especially if any thing abstersive be cast in a flowing forth of sanious humors and matter by intervals somtimes with blood if the ulcer be great or the courses flow A pissing often and hot if the otifice of the bladder be drawn into consent a paine in the forepart of the head extending it selfe to the roots of the eyes if the head A smal seaver which in process of time growes slowe with often horrors c. The CAUSES are al external and internal things which by their acrimony can dissolve the continuity in that part of which in the differences The CURE is difficult because it is in a place of exquisite sence moist and which hath a consent with many parts 'T is Ordered the same manner was spoke in general in the first book To inhibit the paine Steeled milk cast in doth good For drying baths The Differences are various I. Some are from external causes as medicines hard labor violent copulation And others from internal as are the secundine corrupted the flux of blood retained the flux of the womb a virulent gonorrhaea the french pox Inflamation Humors flowing thither either from the whole or a part or generated there al which must be attended in the cure II. Some are superficial from which little matter flows and medicins may be layed upon them Others profound which are in a contrary way and the medicines ought to be injected III. Some are Milde with little matter thick not stinking in which both the gentler abstersives as honey of roses with barly water whey with sugar or the decoction of lentils and the more benigne astringents take place Others sordid with plenty of matter and flowing forth with paine in which we must act with stronger things The mundifyer of smallage in Castro l. 2. c. 29. is here commended Others are eating with a colored matter green livid stinking flowing forth with paine in which aloes and wormwood amongst mundifers are the cheife IV. Some are called Phagades which are smal and longe ulcers eating the skin of the necke of the womb They are known both by the paine and blood caused in copulation and by sight if the neck be looked into and they are like unto them which in winter time are wont to rise in our hands They arise many waies 1. Externally from a painful labour violent copulation and then we must use an astringent glyster 2. Internally from an inflamation condylomata an afflux of sharpe humors which must first be taken away by purgers before we come to topick medicines There is commended for them the fatt which distils from wooden spoones used to boyl in kitchins if they be a little moved to the fire and burnt and also the oyntment pomada Others which leave behinde them a Fystula which is voide of paine unless it come to a nervous part sometimes it passes to the bladder and right gut and the excrements are cast forth through it If it be ancient it ought to be left to a palliative cure in which at fit seasons the body is purged but the callus which is alwaies joyn'd with it if that be curable after drying of the part being molefied by vulnerary potions must be wasted either by cutting or burning Of a cancer and gangrene I meet with nothing singular That is generated by menstruous blood adust and when scirrous tumors continue long This in this place ariseth from an inflamation cancer and ulcers there il cured For while these parts are moist and abound with excrements they are easily corupted and perish Chap. 2. Of the diseases of the womb Article 1. Of the distemper of the womb The diseases of the womb are distemper straitness of the vessels inflation inflamatition a scirrhus dropsy falling down of the womb wounds and ulcers The distemper of the womb is a swarving of the same from its natural temper to a preternatural distemper arising from external and internal causes 'T is divided twofold I. One is hot which is known by a proness to venery by the scarceness yellowness blackness adustion acrimony of the courses and by their difficult and inordinate flux whence in process of yeares they become hypochondriacal by the early growing of hair in the privities redness of the face and dryness of lips often pains of the head and abundance of cholerick humors in the body It ariseth either from the birth from whence are viragos and barrenness or after the birth from external causes amongst which are the use of hot thing too much venery medicines which do move the heat and blood to the womb 'T is cured 1. By the contrary diet 2. By cooling medicines both internal and external which are applyed to the loins and back but they must be moderate least the heat necessary for conception be weakned the cold substance of the womb because it is membranous be violated the vessels which ought to be open for flux of the courses be condensed and the nerves which are in the loins and back be hurt 3. By emptiers viz. Rhubarb syrup of roses solutive manna c. The flowers of Vitriol of Venus Mars from three grains to six grains given in some syrup is an appropriate purger for the womb Another is cold more frequent than the hot which is known from a less desire to venery and the little pleasure in it by the stopping mucosity flegmatickness of the courses and their inordinate flux by reason of the plenty of the like humors collected in the womb from whence is obstruction by the plenty of wind in the womb by the crudity and watrishness of the seed from whence it flows without any pleasure by the pale color of the face and other things opposite to the former It ariseth also from causes contrary to them 'T is cured 1. By a contrary dyet 2. By hot medicines applyed to the womb amongst which do excel inwardly the Roots of Birthwort avens angelica eringoes the Leaves of Mercury balme dittander of Candy pennyroyal Sage Rosemary mugwort The Flowers of wal Flower Marigold Sage Rosemary burrage Spices Nutmeggs Cubebs Saffron Cinnamon Of Compounds Oyl of Mace Amber Myrrh Cinnamon Fecula bryone Aqua vitae Mulierum The extract of Zedoary Outwardly the same things reduced into their formes Another is moist which for the most part is joined with a cold It is known by the plenty thinness and watrishness of the courses the moisture of the privities by reason of the humidity of the excrements and the passion of the Flux of the womb even when the seed is voided no delight in venery and an aptness to miscarry when the young one grows bigg It ariseth from the same causes as yet which
by the various color of the faceone while red and as soon again pale and wane Now these wounds are Caused in a twofold manner For Somtimes it so chanseth nhat the fleshy substance of tee lungs may be hurt and then in regard that the blood destilled inthe Cavity of the Thorax and that neither a spitting of blood nor any Cough whatsoever urgeth the party the breathing thereupon is not without much difficulty ther appearreth a virlssitude or interchange of heat and cold by reason of the exhalations and fumes from out of the heart Sometimes the veins of the Lungs are affected and then there floweth forth in great abundance a blood somwhat red black and frothy the Cough likewise is perpetual unless perhaps there be present a prostration and decay of the Natural strenghth and vigour or an oppression of the Lungs from the blood They are Cured I. If the profuse flux of blood be stanched and the inflamation unto which the Lungs by this means becometh obnoxious be prevented and hindered by venesetion II. If the blood in him where it was poured forth into the Cavity subsist and abide there III. If when the sayd blood cannot flow forth by reason of the narrowness of the wound the said wound be widened with a penknife Among those Medicaments that stanch and stop the blood there are these viz. The Strawbery bush Betony Scabious the herb Ladies mantle sanicle Comfry c. without these are altogether void of any biting quality viz. Bole armeniack Frankincense c. Read more of this subject in the guide to Physick and Chyrurgery Riverius Practice of Physick and his Observations and the London dispensatory al the last Editions englished by me Chap. 5. Of the Ulcer of the Lungs or Phthisis PHthisis is an Exulceration of the Lungs from a sharp corroding matter with a gentle Fever a Ccough and a spittle that is both bloody and purulent by the which the whol body is sensibly and by little and little consumed and extenuated The Subject of this exulceration is the Lungs together with the parts thereof towit the fleshy substance the lappets the vessells and the Membranes in those especially that have their heads easily and soon filled and where the head sendeth many distillations unto the organs of breathing in those that from their very nativity have their Lungs of a vicious substance that is such as is tender soft and easily wasted as being most subject to corruption And hence it is that such as are descended of a tabid stock that is to say those that issue from parents affected as beforesayd do all of them at the length as it were by a right of inheritance necessarily wast away and consume in the aforesaid manner in those that naturally have a streightness and narrowness of the Chest and likwise a depression of the same a streight neck or narrow throat a lean and spare body and their shoulder blades sticking out behind them like as if they were wings The Signs are a Gentle and moderate Fever proceeding from vapors elevated and arising out of the Lungs and assaulting the heart by their sudeen and violent irruption therunto with which there are also joyned other feavers that are otherwise sometimes Erratick and fleeting and sometimes again invading the patient after the maner of a Tertian whilest that the humors within the veins by that heat as were kindled and set on fire corrupt and putrefy and this the truth is being by its continuance and without any the least intermission turned into the Hectick immediately after meales and in the night time like as do others increaseth and groweth more prevalent 2. A frequent Cough like unto that of foxes without any great pain which cheifly afflicteth and troubleth the party in the night time and it hath its existence from a matter that is sharp by reason of the irritation of the Lungs 3. A bloody and purulent spittle but this is not in al. Some there have been found who after their retching and the spitting up of a liquid and yellow humor being soon after seazed upon by a light and gentle fever have thereupon begun to fal away and wast and after som time have cast forth by retching a certain smal quantity of blood together with a kind of Pus or corrupt matter and many have been by sensible degrees taken away in whom throughout the whol course of their lives there appeared nothing at al of this bloody and purulent spittle But I must tel you that this Phthisis is incident unto those that are young rather than unto aged persons in regard that young persons most commonly abound with blood and consequently are affected with the heat and acrimony thereof with the laxity or loosness of the vessels and likewise the hardness of the same and in regard likewise that these excercise themselves in a more violent manner and have little regard to their diet This hath one thing singular as propperly and peculiarly belonging thereunto towit that it proceed from the very substance of the Lungs it is then frothy and if it be put into the fire it stinketh and is very offensive to the scent 4. The extenuation of the body which is from the aforesaid continual but gentle fever the which by its fiery heat dispersed throughout the whol body dissolving the Arterial blood the mingling whereof together with that of the Veins is altogether necessary unto Nutrition hindereth the Concoction of the Aliment in the whole body and by its preternatural heat wasteth and consumeth that which is Concocted and stored up The CAUSE is a sharp corroding matter fallen down thither of which we shall speak further in the differences The CURE is not to be despaired of no not though it be attended with an Ulcer already appearing For Galen sendeth such to Tabae a City in Cilicia and prescribeth milk for their Diet. Yet notwithstanding it is something Difficult as wel in regard that the filth and purulent matter sticking in that soft and Spungy flesh cannot without a Cough be purged forth by which the Lungs are from day to day more hurt and prejudiced as because that in this dayly motion of respiration or breathing unto which there is moreover added and adjoyned a violent cough there cannot possibly be any Consolidation made and also in the third place because that Medicaments in their ful strength and Virtue cannot penetrate so far and lastly because that Feavers require moistening Remedies which are altogethet hurtful to an Ulcer The Cure hath cheifly respect unto these six things in Particular I. The removal and taking away of the Catarrhe touching which more below in the Difference II. The Cure of the ulcer here there is commended Flores Sulphuris or the flower of Brimstone as we commonly cal it with a soft and rere egg syrup de Erysimo or water Cresses of Lobelius of the Juyce of Ground Ivy with the Flower of Brimstone of Marsh-Mallows of Fernelius of the Juyce of Mouse
Ear Milfoil and Citron Rinds Prepared the Decoction of Pimpernel Walwort Sugar of Roses Old with the Whey of Goats Milk the Secret of Freytagius of which you may see further in the same Author in his tract of Opium China Root Guajacum c. Let the Patient every hour lick in the Lohoch of Walwort with the Conserve of Red roses III. The Correction of the Blood that so that that floweth unto the part affected may be good And therefore in the Diet Milk is accounted wholsom because that by its serosity it clenseth the Ulcer and by its Caseosity if we may so term it or Cheesie part it Consolidates and then lastly by its Aereal and buttery Fatness it Humectates and moisteneth the wasted and extenuated Body And certain it is that Goats Milk ought to be taken at dinner time at least if there be present no great Feaver or pain of the head that so it may not sour in the stomach or Cause unsavory belchings At Supper the Emulsion of white Poppy Seed and of the greater cold Seeds of each one dram of the Milk of sweet Almonds one pint also milk Boyled with Rice If Milk be not thought convenient Barley Hulled and with the broth of a Cook reduced into a Cream Distilled Medicaments are not here approved of because that their Nutritive faculty doth not transcend the Alembick IV. The Removal of the Feaver by those things that cool and moisten V. The Depulsion of the Extenuation by those things that have in them a power restorative And here Pultises of Milk the Yolks of Eggs fresh Butter Sugar and the meal or flour of Barley and Rice have their place Then let a Bath of warm Milk be made for the sick person after which let a Rosted pullet that hath been fattened with Milk succeed and then the distilled liquor of Snails and the Aqua Mirabilis of which we may see more in Zacutus his Eight Book VI. The Nerfion of the whole Nocturnal Colliquation by Sudorificks or Sweats Then in the evening we must administer the Conserve of Red Roses with the Syrup of Poppy of Jujubes and Diacodium The Breast and the Back-bone are to be anoynted and a Liniment Resumptive as Practitioners cal it with the Oyl of Roses and Violets c. The Phthisis is divided in a twofold manner according to the quality and condition of the Causes and its Duration I. One is from Blood which being got forth into the Lungs there clotteth and putrefieth And in this if al things else be answerable Phlebotomy hath its due place in the very beginning thereof Another from a sharp Humor whether it be Serous or Cholerick which is either sent from the Head neither may it be cast forth by Coughing and then the Cure is to be ordered according to the Nature of the Catarrh or else it is poured forth from the Heart into the Lungs or else it regurgitates from the suppressed Courses or Hemorrhoids and then the Cure must be sought for in its own proper place Another but that is very rare from Sweet Flegm if in too great abundance it flow unto the lungs obstruct the lappits therof render the substance thereof over moist and there putrefie by reason of its long abode there and for want of Ventilation Another from Pus or corrupt stinking matter upon the breaking of the impostum of the Quinsie of the Uvula the Pleurisie c. And hence is that of Hippocrates those saith he that after a Pleurisie happen to be impostumated if in forty daies they be not freed thereof they then become Phtysical Another by Contagion from the breath of the Phthisical and hereunto belongeth that of the Sea hare corroding and eating through the Lungs by its specifical Poysonous quality and likewise the breath and stench of Cats and Dogs sent forth especially in the dissecting and opening of them II.
