yet you must not so much look at the manifest qualities as to that force which is in medicines to oppose poyson in the whole substance Therefore in hot poysons you may give Treacle and Mithridate and if the poyson will give leave first abate the Cacochymy Lastly let him that hath taken poyson either at the mouth or other waies sleep but little for he must constantly take medicines and observe whether the Symptoms increase or abate by the Bezoardicks more of which hereafter Chap. 7. Of the Cure of Poyson taken in at the mouth WHen any one thinks he hath taken poyson let him presently have a Vomit before the poyson exercise its cruelty and let it be repeated often and made of things that may dull the sharpness of the poyson as of fat Broaths Oyl Butter-milk boyled Broom Dill Iesamine flowers Radishes and the like to which you may add Bezoardicks so that they stop not vomiting Therfore make choice of things that bind not as Harts-horn Bezoar stone If the poyson get to the stomach and guts give Clysters As Take Mallows Pellitory Althaea each two handfuls boyl them in water strain them to a pint and half add Oyl six ounces Electuary of Fleabane two drams make a Clyster And purge thus Take Scorzon●ra roots two drams Sorrel half a handful Agarick two drams Zedoary Citron seeds each a scruple Cordial flowers a pugil hoyl them strain and ad to four ounces Manna two ounces strain it again and add Syrup of Citron-peels While these are doing anoint every third hour the heart feet hands and temples and places where you feel the arteries beat with Oyl of Scorpions of which Mathiolus it is excellent Let the reliques of the poyson be driven from the heart and bowels by sweats and leave not sweating til the evil disposition be quite conquered For diet give Milk for meat and drink and fat meats Butter and Oyl Borage Bugloss Figs with Cordials Harts-horn Coral Pearl Hyacinths Smaragds Zedoary Saffron Citron peels Chap. 8. Of the Cure of Poyson from without THat poyson may not creep in draw it out presently by Medicines and Chirurgery As Take Galbanum Sagapenum Mirrh Pellitory each half an ounce Pigeons dung three ounces Calamints a dram dissolve the Gums in Vinegar and with Honey and Oyl make a Cataplasm Or apply Chickens or Kids cut in two hot to the part where the poyson is These laid on work by a hidden quality oyl of Scorpions Spiders and the Creatures that poysoned applied to the part Galen saith that he knew the biting of a Crocodile cured by the grease of a Crocodile and the sting of a Scorpion by the Scorpion applied to the part These act by the likeness of substance You must continue the use of things that draw out poyson till pain evil colour and other Symptoms cease and there is laudable quittor in the part And to keep the poyson from runing inward or about tie the vessels above then cut off the part that is poysoned if it may be done with safety Give Antidotes at first to drive poyson from the heart and kil it and to take away the venemous quality that is in the body And 〈…〉 ulcer follow a bite or venemous sting keep it long open scarifie it and burn it as shall be shewed Poyson taken by scent must be opposed by contrary scent as Mirrh Amber Musk Ambergreece Civet Rue Asphaltum Wood-aloes Sanders Cloves Saffron Storax and the mouth being shut you must take the scent of these at the nose Of these we shall speak in the special or particular Cure of Poysons Sennertus concludes this general Doctrine of poysons with relation of diseases that come from fear and frights because they are like poysons and he reports out of Cardan that when a man is frighted by Ghosts or the like the heat is drawn in and the mind is troubled and he becomes dumb and if the fright be great the outward parts are cold and contracted and the hair falls off and if the body be cacochymick he is very sick and if strength fails he dies This he confirms by many Histories which I have left out only I shal relate one of which I was an eye witness When I studied in Physick in Oxitan Anno 1617. a woman that grew melancholick from anger hung her self the Crowner sitting upon her sentenced her to be hung in gibets about a mile from the City Another woman that was her familiar acquaintance seeing her ●ut of a window neat the place cryed out and fell into a great Diarrhaea suddenly with a constant dotage that could not be cured From whence I conclude that in these diseases from terror the heart is not only affected as Cardanus thought but the brain also Hence they usually give Epileptick Waters this is good for children Take Tile-flower water Piony black Cherry water each an ounce and half ●earl prepared Coral and Har●s-horn each a scruple Fecula of Piony half a scruple THE SIXTH PART Of Poysons from Minerals and Metals Chap. 1. Of unsleaked Lime VNSLEAKED Lime hath some venom in it though it is a stone and may be reckoned among poysons for its malignant quality also it hath fire in it that wil burn Symptoms and Signs This taken into the body afflicteth grievously for it corrodes and vexeth the stomach and guts and causeth unquenchable thirst bitterness of mouth and tongue ●oughness cough want of breath Dysentery stoppage of urin swounding and choaking A child of eight years old supposed it to be Chalk and eat much and died the sixth day with these symptoms Provoke vomit with things that abate the sharpness of the Lime give the warm Decoction of Violets Mallows Althaea Lineseed Rice Oyl fresh Butter and Mucilages of Lineseed Mallows Althaea Fleabane and keep the belly open with Cassia or a Clyster with Barley water and Mallows roots and all Mucilage of Fleabane Cassia lignea Waterlillies and the like The Antidotes are the gal of a Kid from a scruple to a dram and the gall of an Hart or Deer a scruple drunk with warm Water Earth of Lemnos two drams with Milk Give fresh Butter and sat Broaths in which Mallows is boyled Chap. 2.

well called Venemous Of the first sort are the humors that cause an Epilepsie fear of water dancing madness Scurvey Colick and malignant Dysenteries Elephantiasis Gangrene and simply malignant Feve●s Of the second sort are the humors that beget pestilent feavers and the plague As for the first sort the Epilepsie and the other diseases are not the evident causes or from obstruction of the ventricles of the brain nor is fe●● of water from the biting of a mad Dog But this Epilepsie is from a humour or vapor that hurts the membranes of the brain and the nerves especially And fear of water may come from internal humors without the biting of any mad creature Mercellus Donatus hath five Examples of this and the diseases mentioned are not from manifest qualities but from malignant occult and venemous causes As for the second kind the humors are so corrupted that they do not only turn malignant but breed deadly diseases that kil like poyson as pestilent Feavers and the Plague Buboes and Carbun●les of which before Chap. 6. Of the Signs of diseases that come from malignant venemous Humors that are bred in our Bodies THe signs of these diseases are from the causes mentioned in the fourth Chapter especially from the air which if it keep not its natural constitution the humors must needs be corrupted as experience confirms Another sign is when famine hath been either by scarcity or siege and men have had an ill diet the inward humors are corrupt The third is when no manifest Cause went before and the man had not to do with any man of the like disease and there are the signs of malignity and venom it shews that it is from the internal fault of the humors And by comparing the strength with the disease you may know the event of the disease Chap. 7. Of the Preservation from and Cure of these Diseases WEE have shewed the Cure largely before only if there be a malignant or Epidemical disease stirring either from air or bad diet or the like let it be removed by convenient Evacuations lest the humors corrupt And observe from what cause the fault is that you ma● apply sit remedies as Pills de Tribus Rhubarb and Syrup of Roses and the like These must be repeated at a distance and good Antidotes used After purging it is good to sweat and take heed of anger fear or passions which stir up the hum●●s that he stil and close and make a plague without any society with them of the plague See for the Cure Lib. 4. de feb Cap. 6. THE THIRD PART Of occult Diseases from Water Air and Infections and of infectious Diseases Chap. 1. Of occult and malignant Diseases and Venom that arise from Waters MANY Diseases come from bad waters as Dysentery and Dropsie and malignant Diseases also as the Scurvey Marsh standing Pools easily corrupt and the drinking thereof in Armies causeth malignant pestilent Feavers because they are infected by Froggs Toads and Serpents and other venemous Creatures Also Waters are unwholsom in which Flax or Hemp are steeped And some Fountains have killed them that have drunk thereof and therefore the Waters of the River Styx are so odious among Poe●s Pausanias and other Historians mention of many poysons that wil infect waters You may cure these Waters by boyling thē or quenching steel or stone or iron in them when you are in Armies or on a Journey and cannot boyl them at least you may strain them And if any have drunk such Waters let him presently take an Antidote Chap. 2. Of malignant Diseases from the Air. AIr as it is a pure Element neither corrupts nor is infectious but it may be corrupted by other things Paris is seldom free from the Plague by reason of inundations for besides the stink of the mud all the Jakes of the City are full of stinking water that go not into the Common-shore but to the Gates of the City and cause a stink especially in hot weather Also malignant vapors arise from Dens and Caves saith Mercurialis he had seen many Caves near Rome into which if either man or beast go they presently die The air becomes pestilent when the smal bodies that use to be in the air that of themselves are not venemous do corrupt These are all dangerous diseases and none can be secure from them for none can live without air Therefore let such as by reason of their imployments or the like cannot flie never go abroad but with good Antidotes in their mouths and anointed about their noses Chap. 3. Of Contagion IN contagious diseases 1. There is the disease which is called Contagious because it infects another with the same disease 2. There is the Medium by which the like disease is produced in another 3. There is the action by which the like disease is produced in another And lastly the disease which is produced in another A contagion is an infection or a body sent from a sick body that can produce the like disease in another To clear this 1. Consider the contagious body 2. The infection by which it doth infect another 3. The body that is infected 1. The contagious body is not onely a man but an Ox or Sow or the like And that is only contagious that can breed any thing in it self which being sent to another of the same kind produceth the like disease 2. When that Contagion passeth to another body with which it hath some likeness the passage is by infection or seed in which there is force to act by the quality that flows from the force But we are ignorant of that quality and the form from whence it flows therefore it is truly called an occult Quality For this quality and form are in as smal a body as an Atome and is so called and as one saith The infection of diseases is multiplied by little bodies that like seeds comprehend the whole essence of the disease Now the quality by which the infection acts so powerfully is not manifest for no manifest quality hath such force but it is occult and not sensible but known only by the effect Nor can you say that this infection is the effect of rottenness for that putrefaction be made many alteration are required and long time But Contagion taken in suddenly infecteth and often kills and begets the like contagious humor in the party and works like contagious poyson before there is any putrefaction wrought as appears in the Plague This Miasma or Contagion is spred and sowed about by the pores of the skin Somtimes it comes forth with the sweat or sticks to the skin with a thicker excrement or filth Somtimes it goes out of the body by the breath somtimes by matter or quittor that comes out of the ulcers Somtimes those Atomes flie about in the air and therefore the seeds of the Plague are sowed far about A Contagion or Miasma is sowed and spred abroad two waies either by fewel alone or by the

presently Cardan saith th●se are fables because Galen 1. Simpt med f. c. 1. saith he never saw it and knew none that did But Dioscorides lib. 6. cap. ult describes the biting of it and saith the wound is a Gold-colour and was cured by three drams of Castor drunk Therefore let none deny that there is such a Serpent though not so bad as reported yet very venemous that if any touch him with a Spear he kils him The Symptoms and Signs After the biting of a Basilisk there follows great inflammation of the whole body and the part affected is yellow the flesh melts away and falls off by piecemeals he dies in a short space Aetius thinks it in vain to prescribe medicines against such a sudden killing poyson Chap. 9. Of the Viper THough a Viper be a kind of Serpent yet he differs from them all because they lay Egs but the Viper brings forth young the male Viper differs from the female for she hath four teeth with whi●h she squirts out poyson when she bites but the male hath only two they are hollow and lie at length in the Gums and are only lifted up when they void the poyson by biting Symptoms and Signs After the wound is made the first blood is pure the next is mattery froathy like Verdugrease the part bitten and the whole body swel suddenly red or green or black or purple as the humors are there is pain that runs about great heat with black pustles about the part there is vomiting of choler Hickets Megrim Astonishment Feavers stoppage of urin Bleeding cold sweats Trembling Fainting difficult breathing and death In some countries it is not very deadly but in ●ot Countries and in Summer and when the Viper is provoked and angry it kils in seven hours If any swound or bleed at the ears or be struck as with hail death is at hand Presently draw out the poyson at the part bitten as before with the same remedies the flesh of the Viper is the best remedy inwardly or outwardly taken Treacle or troches of Vipers or oyl of Vipers Rue Garlick give Antidotes presently Costus is the Bezoar against this poyson a dram with Wormwood-wine To all Antidotes add Rue to make them stronger Treacle and Mithridate are good two drams with four ounces of strong wine Mathiolus lib. 6. see Dioscorides for his famous water against all poyson Chap. 10. Of the Scorpion THere are many sorts and all kill by a sting which squirts out poyson they are more dangerous in some countries then in other Symptoms and Signs The Sting is small but very deadly for pain inflammation and tumors follow in the part affected and the whole body pustles arise about the wound like warts and all the body is as struck with hail there is cold sweat with paleness and sweat the hair stands an end the face is drawn aside they weep filth comes from the eyes in the corners like glew they foam at the mouth and the body somtimes hath black spots all over Women and Virgins chiefly are killed by Scorpions and men when they are stung in the morning I have found by experience that if the same Scorpion be bruised and laid to the part or if it be anointed with oyl of Scorpions it is speedily cured which is done by similitude for like wil to like a Garden-Snail bruised with the sh●l and applied allaies pain presently Or Earthworms Calamints Garlick wild Rue Scorpion-grass bruised often renewed after the part is washed with the decoction of wild Rue Sulphur Bay-leaves and the like Of compounds the best ar● Venice Treacle Diatessaron Aetius commends this Take Castor Succi Ciren●ici Pepper each half an ounce Costus Spikenard Saffron juyce of Centaury each two drams with clarified Honey make an Electuary take the quantity of a Walnut Let him eat Butter often and drink old wine as much as he can and eat no Smallage Chap. 11.

SOme are frighted at a Cat in the Room though they see her not and have cold sweats and faint if the Cat be not removed Some say the brain and blood of a Cat are poyson and a History confirms that a Girl that had an Epilepsie was perswaded to take the blood of a Cat which made her of the nature of a Cat in voice mewing and leaping and creeping as a Cat when she mouseth Avenzoar saith that the breath of a Cat infects the spirits and causeth Marasmus Symptoms and Signs After the taking of the brain of a Cat there is a megrim astonishment and madness If it be in the stomach vomit it up if it be distributed purge with a scruple of the Extract of Hellebore then give half a scruple of Musk every week or give Diamoschu dulce Or Take Conserve of Rosemary flowers two ounces Piony-seeds Caraway Cubebs each half a dram Diamoschu dulce a dram with Syrup of Bettony make 〈◊〉 Chap. 19. Of Diseases and Symptoms which Poysons leave behind them SOme poysons have greater antipathy to some parts and therefore the evil disposition remains somtimes in one part somtimes in another as Cardan mentioneth Somtimes there is after poyson an evil habit of the whole body Leucophlegmacy Jaundies Consumption Strangling and Quinzie the teeth drop out there is melancholy sadness watching madness bad concoction the belly bound pain in the guts and stomach Dysentery spleen swollen difficult breath resolution of members or palsie hardness of joynts feavers fainting weakness of eyes or stareing convulsion pain of the whole body burning of urin and stoppage megrim loathing forgetfulness and the like The Cure consists in two things 1. By giving proper medicines to the evil disposition if it be known 2. By taking away the venemous quality which cherisheth that evil disposition or correcting it at the least For the reliques of the poyson are to be taken away before you use the ordinary Cure So after the French pox there are Symptoms as dropping of urin and the like which cannot be cured except you regard the malignant disposition If the kind of poyson be ●ot known give ordinary Antidotes with things that oppose the manifest disease THE NINTH PART Of Diseases by Witchcraft Incantation and Charmes The PREFACE AMatus Lusitanus shews that Physitians ought to know these Diseases because such come to them for Cure I shall from Philosophers Physitians Lawyers and Divines take such things as concern us and divide thi● Tractate into four Chapters 1. Whether there are Diseases from Witchcraft 2. How they come 3. How they are known 4. How they are cured Chap. 1. Of Fascination or Witchcraft and whether any Diseases come thereby FIrst the word Fascination is to be explained it comes from the Greek word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifies to envy because the Vulgar people suppose that envious people hurt others by their looks chiefly It is a sort of inchantment by which through looks or by commendations not only infants and men but also Lambs Hens Horses and other beasts and also flourishing corn and plants are praised till they are killed or grow weak and feeble This Witchcraft is extended also to other things some fear when they eat g●eedily and others look stedfastly upon them and give part of their meat to them that so look upon them saying Do not bewitch me Some extend this to things without life Secondly Fascination is not onely by sight but by tongue and voice of which the Latin Poet Virgil Eclog. 7. When thou art prais'd let Baccar crown thy Head For evil tongues have Prophets murthered This Pliny observed writing that in Africa there are families of Witches by whose praise and commendations hopeful things perish trees grow dry and infants die Hence I gather a threefold Fascination the first is Poetical or Vulgar the second is Philosophical and the third Magical The two first I deny for the Poetical Witchcraft is fabulous and delivered from hand to hand rather superstitiously then truly according to which infants are said to be bewitched and other things only by the active look of the Witch as when any one praised another or looks malitiously upon him whom he hates Mothers and Nurses hang Amulets about their childrens necks to prevent this And the Poet Theotritus teacheth against this Fascination That they should spit thrice into their own bosomes that fear it Spit thrice in thy breast And Witches detest I suppose this Fascination is not only fabulous but superstitious and Divines have cursed the users and
