does not only cool and refresh the Spirits and the whole Body but also powerfully strengthens the Action of the Stomach But I pity the young Children most who are so tender and of so delicate a Nature both in their Body and Spirits that every Disorder does wound them to the very Heart Nothing is more grateful and refreshing to them than the pleasant Air It comforts their Spirits and causeth a free Circulation of the Blood and Radical Moisture begets Appetite and makes them grow in Strength But on the contrary hot sulphurous Airs with great Fires and warm Clothing do not only hinder the Circulation of the Blood but suffocate the Spirits and destroy the Appetite causing an unnatural Heat to possess the whole Body whence does proceed various Disorders and Diseases making them to cry and be very froward Also close Bindings and over-warm Clothings and thick hot Airs do oft in weak-spirited Children cause Convulsions Vapours and Fumes to fly into the Head sometimes occasioning Vomiting which People call Windy Diseases Again The Food of most Children of late Years is so enriched with West and East-India Ingredients that is with Sugar and Spices that thereby their Food becomes so hot in operation that it does not only breed too much Nourishment which generates Obstructions and Stoppages but it heats the Body drying up and consuming the Radical Moisture and infecting the Blood with a sharp fretting Humour which in some Complexions and Constitutions causeth Languishing Diseases contracting the Breast and Vessels of the Stomach and hindering the Passages of the Spirits so that the Joynts and Nerves become weak and feeble in others with the help of bad Diet and other Uncleanliness does cause Botches Boils and various sorts of Leprous Diseases Also many that have wherewithal will frequently give their Children Sack strong Drinks and fat Meats as long as they will eat which is abominable and absolutely contrary to the Nature of Children There are a hundred other Disorders and Intemperances that many Mothers and ignorant Nurses affect their Children with which I have no room in this Place to discourse of Therefore I commend unto the Women Milk that is raw only made so hot as the Mothers or Nurses Milk is when the Child sucks it and sometimes Milk and Flower boyled together giving it the Child about the warmness of Breast-milk and indeed neither Children nor others ought to eat any Food hotter Also no Children ought to drink any kind of strong Drink I could commend Water as the most wholesom but it being contrary to our Custom ordinary Beer may do well or rather small Ale If Women did understand but the hundredth part of the Evils and Diseases those indulging and intemperate Ways do bring both to themselves and Children they would quickly be of my mind which I never expect They are too wise A SHORT DISCOURSE OF THE PAIN in the TEETH Shewing from what Cause it does chiefly proceed and also how to prevent it THE terrible Pains and Diseases of the Teeth do chiefly proceed from two Causes The first is ●rom certain filthy phlegmy Matter which the Stomach and Vessels do continually breathe and send forth which does lodge or center in the Mouth especially between the Teeth and on the Gums and some People having fouler Stomachs than others such do breathe forth very sowr stinking phlegmy Matter which does not only increase the Pain but causeth the Teeth to become loose and rotten And for want of continual cleansing and washing those Breathings and this Phlegmy Matter turns to Putrifaction which does eat away the Gums as though Worms had eaten them And this Defect is generally attributed to the Disease called the Scurvey but it is a mistake the Cause is chiefly as is mentioned before from the Stomach or for want of Cleansings 2. This Distemper of the Teeth and Gums does also proceed from the various sorts of Meats and Drinks and more especially from the continual eating of Flesh and fat sweet things compounded of various things of disagreeing Natures which do not only obstruct the Stomach but fur and foul the Mouth part thereof remaining upon the Gums and between the Teeth For all such things do quickly turn to Putrifaction which does by degrees corrupt both the Teeth and Gums Besides our Beds take up near half the time of our Lives which time the Body is not only without motion but the Bed and Coverings do keep it much hotter than the Day-garments especially of those that draw the Curtains of their Windows and Beds so close that the pure Spirits and thin refreshing Vapours of the Air are hindred of having their free egress and regress which does dull and flatten the Action of the Stomach and this is the chief Cause why Suppers lie hard in the Stomach and require more than double the time for perfect Concoction than the same Food does when a Man is up and in the open Air For this Element if it hath its free Influences is sucked in as by Spunges through all the Pores of the Body and does wonderfully refresh comfort open and cleanse all the Parts having power to assist and help Concoction but hot dull thick Airs do destroy the Action of the Stomach and as it were suffocate the pure Spirits drying up and consuming the Radical Moisture Therefore the Night does foul the Mouth more than the Day furring it with a gross slimy Matter especially those that hav● foul Stomachs and are in Years which ought to be well cleansed every Morning 3. Whatsoever are the Disorders in the Body the Mouth does always partake of them besides the Evils that the variety of Food and the improper mixtures of Flesh and Fish and many other things which do foul and hurt both the Teeth and Gums When any Person is disordered with inward Diseases does not the Mouth quickly complain of the Evils thereof This very few do consider in time 4. It is to be noted That most People do attribute the Diseases of the Teeth to Colds and Rheums and other outward Accidents It is true outward Accidents will further this Disease but then there must be Matter before-hand otherwise outward Colds can have no power to cause this Pain The same is to be understood in all Stoppages of the Breast and other Obstructions as Coughs and the like For if any Part be obstructed or there be Matter for Distemper then on every small occasion of outward Colds or the like Accidents Nature complains If your Teeth and Gums be sound and free from this Matter take what Colds you will and your Teeth will never complain as daily Experience doth shew For all outward Colds and other Accidents of the like nature have no power to seise any part of the Body except first there be some inward Defect or Infirmity Suppose the Teeth be defective then the Disease falls on that Part or if it be the Head Eyes Breast Back or any other Part or Member of the Body that is

A TREATISE Of CLEANNESS in Meats and Drinks OF THE PREPARATION of FOOD THE Excellency of Good Airs AND THE BENEFITS of Clean Sweet BEDS Also of the Generation of Bugs AND THEIR CURE To which is added A SHORT DISCOURSE OF THE PAIN in the TEETH Shewing from what Cause it does chiefly proceed and also how to prevent it By THO. TRYON LONDON Printed for the Author and sold by L. Curtis near Fleet-Bridge 1682. Of Cleanness in Meats and Drinks Of the Excellency of Good Airs and of the contrary Of the Benefits of Clean Sweet Beds and of the Inconveniences of Feather-Beds What Matter it is that does occasion the Generation of that pernicious Vermin called Bugs that so many Hundreds in this City and other great Towns are infested with more especially in Holland Italy New-England Barbadoes Jamaica and in many other Places That they are never bred but where Beds are And that their being generated from Wooden Bedsteads or from Hogs Hair in the Plaisterings of the Walls is a meer Story promoted inconfiderately by Persons mistaken in the Productions of Nature Also How all such Persons as are troubled with them may be cured without using Medicines and Directions how to avoid ever having them again 1. Of Cleanness in Food WHat is more profitable for all Lovers of Health and Wisdom than Food that is Radically Clean And as Bread hath deservedly the first Place together with Herbs and various sorts of excellent Fruits so the next is Milk which of it self is a brave mild and most friendly Food to Nature very fit and profitable for all Ages and Complexions and if it do not agree with some People it is because their Stomachs are made sharp and sowred by superfluity of dainty Food and the continual use of strong Drink Also Milk being altered it makes many sorts of wholesom healthy Food Next to these are various sorts of Flesh which being killed in their proper Times and Seasons and when they are free from their Uncleannesses Surfeits and other Inconveniences which most Beasts are subject to and if care be taken also that they be well and moderately seasoned with Salt and boyled in plenty of River or spring-Spring-water which is the best of all Waters except Rain-water they become wholesom Nourishment For River-water hath the advantage of running through various sorts of Earth by which it sucks into it self a fat oylie and saline Quality which the Surface of the Earth does plentifully afford which also is the cause of all Vegitation and the lovely Green Colour which all Vegitables are cloth'd with does arise from this Saline Quality For these Reasons River-water will Brew Boil and Wash and it is more profitable in all Uses in Houswifery than Spring or Pump-water and far wholesomer for Men and Beasts to drink Also your Vessel in which your Food is boyled ought to be uncovered all the time it boyls for if the Air have not its free egress and regress the pure Spirits in the Food become as it were suffocated and then the Food so prepared becomes dull and heavy for the Air is the Essential Life of the Spirit and all Food that hath not plenty of Water and the free Influences of the Air in its Preparation does certainly lose its natural Colour with the pure Smell and Taste for if those three Qualities be not preserved in all Preparations of Food then the genuine Vertue and lively Tinctures are in part lost The same is to be observed in all Physical Operations And if the above-mentioned Order be not observed then the Food is not so pleasant to the Pallate nor so easie of Concoction it lies heavy in the Stomach dulling and stupifying the Senses it generates a gross Nourishment and bad Blood whence does proceed many Diseases Whereas if the above-mentioned Rules be observed and your Fire quick that your Food do not stand still or cease from boyling till it be sufficiently done the Effects are contrary It is also much better the Food should be a little under-prepared than too much For when the gross plegmatick Body of any Food is by Preparation digested then presently the lively spirituous Quality is set at liberty whence does proceed a most pleasant Smell and Taste which pleasant Quality before the Preparation lay hid or captivated in the Body of Phlegm but so soon as this phlegmatick Body is in part destroyed the Spirit becomes Volatile and then if the Preparation be continued those pure Spirits do either become suffocated or evaporate and then the sweet Balsamick Body turns as it were sowr For these Reasons all sorts of Food either over prepared or twice prepared are of a strong fulsom taste and smell as all Meats heat again and also Pottages and all such things do obstruct Nature and generate many Diseases But if the forementioned Rules be observed the Food so prepared is not only more pleasant to the Pallate but far lighter of Digestion and breeds better Blood For that Universal Distemper the Scurvy which reigns so much in England is chiefly caused by Food ill prepared and the eating of too much Flesh and Fat things especially in the improper Seasons of the Year viz. from Iuly to the last of November In this Season the Sun which is the true Life and Power of all things declines and all sorts of Herbage which is the Food of all Beasts that are generally eaten doth the same The Grass all this Season is fraught with a gross phlegmatick Matter besides it is a fainty hot time the Air which is the Cherishing Life of all things is more gross and full of Humidity than all other times of the Year the Spirits of all sorts of Creatures are also weak and on any Accidents are quickly wounded or evaporated more especially those Beasts that come from remote Parts to great Cities Besides it is then the principal time of their Generating which renders them unclean Are not the People ten-fold as sickly in this Season and double the number die than they do at other times Also you may observe That the Rots amongst Sheep and Murrains that attend other Beasts are all or most of them in this Season Therefore all sorts of People ought to be more careful of their Health both in Exercises Meats and Drink that they do not exceed either in quantity nor eat things that are improper in quality This is the time that all Shepherds and also those that are Drivers of Horses and indeed all that have the Government of Cattel ought to have and use double the prudence in the management of them than at other Seasons of the Year as I have more largely discoursed in a small Treatise which I intend to put forth if I am permitted of the Preservation of Sheep from the Rot and Horses from Surfeits There are three Marks by which every one may know whether the Flesh be good The first is by its pure White and brisk Red Colour when Raw. The second is by its continuing its
