O. CROMWELL Advice for Prevention and Cure of the FLUX FOR preservation of Souldiers from the Flux now prevalent in the Army because it is contagious and the Disease communicated by infection from the ill Sent of the Sick where many are together as also in respect of the common cause of ill Diet by bad Waters and other drink they drink and cold lodgings care must be had to sever the Sick from the Whole Those who can have Ale or Beer may for prevention mixe some Rice with the Corn they brew withal though but in a small quantitie and hang either beatings of Iron as they are had from the Smiths Forge or other old Iron or gadds of new Steel in a bag or any way in the middle of the Vessell a small quantitie will serve diverse Gallons or else to quench some Iron or gads of Steel of which there are some twelve dozen sent in the drink before the drinking of it immediatly And so for Water when Ale or Beer is not to be had and the drinking of Water first boyled with Rice is a good preservative And because cold lodging or the lodging of the common Souldiers on the ground cannot be well prevented to such more especially a red strong Water which is sent the quantitie of one spoonfull mixed with their Drink Ale or Water I shal recommend from experience in former Camps which also in some few drops with a spoonfull of broken or powdred Bisket is a good Break-fast or a good Collation in the night for a Sentinell or Perdue to preserve himself from cold hunger and danger of the Flux And by way of prevention there would be great care had of Bisket which even at Sea oftentimes by ill stowage neglect in lying too close and receiving moisture doth beget a dry moulding on the superficies of it which if not wiped off and well cleansed doth cause by its offence to the bowels oftentimes great Fluxes and to check that ill qualitie of the Bisket as also of ill Aire and bad Water the use of Garlick moderatly taken is of much force either boyled in Milk when it may be had or in Ale or Water or rosted or in small quantitie raw And where any Water can be had from a Spring where any Chalk is that is the best Water to avoyd this Disease as also to make Medicines of for the Cure In relation whereunto there are some few Remedies sent and such as rightly made use of may be effectual As first there is Conserve of Sloes of which some small quantitie may be mixed with all the Water where other drink is not to be had warm or cold even upon a march strayned out by pouring of the thin from thick after it hath been well shaken together even in a hat where there is no cleaner nor better Vessell and this may as often be used as thirst calleth for moisture this Conserve may also be eaten in the substance to the quantitie of a walnut twice or thrice or oftner in a day Secondly Rice powder so written upon and having some other small mixture with it may either be taken alone a spoonfull or two at once twice or thrice a day or with any other food or with Beer Ale or Water and especially with Milk and Water when that can be had Thirdly for the Flux now frequent in the Army I recommend this familiar Remedy experimented in like Epidemicall Fluxes Take of the shavings of new Deal board one handfull one spoonfull of whole Cinamon of dry Balm when it can be had of which some store is sent a quarter of a handfull boyl these in an Ale quart or some what more of good Water with Milk when it may be had to a pint of this make three severall draughts at 4. or 6. houres distance Fourthly Take 3. or 4. spoonfulls of the red Water above-mentioned in Ale or Milk or Water or alone if the Sick be not much distempered with heat once in 8. or 12. houres for three or four times only Fiftly and more especially for those who are very weak and distempered and want rest there is sent a Cordiall Electuary one pot containing eight doses to take one dose or eight part at night going to bed and to wash it down with a little Water boyled or at least strayned with the powder of Rice flower above-mentioned and this for two or three nights together if need require and in
