payne in the kidneys and backbone toward the lefte syde He hath also great colde in hys braynes whych commeth thereby that the stomak and braynes be farre asunder and the vapors drawe vp out of the stomake into the heade and thereby is the colde of the braynes augmented If the stomake were full of euell humors that are hote and were engedred of such hote meates as are Garleke Ouyons Mustard

is it to be marked that the bodye is full of superfluous humours and wyth digestyng of the humours according to mans complexion is he cured and made whole and this aforemencioned drinke and purgacion is the digestion and auoydinge of suche fylth After that ought some conserues and Electuaries be ministred to him The stomake doth somtyme waÌ„bel is quasy by reason of a heate that is engendred by

Fyrst ought he to be well letten blood in the Median in the right arme and if the aposteme is in the ryght syde thē ought he to be letten bloode in the left arme And before all is it to be knowen sayeth Galen whereby the aposteme is occasioned afore ye ministre ought to hym and also in whych syde the disease is If it is in the ryght syde then commeth it of the lyuer If it is in the left syde

seth him a dish full of Cumin wyth a yolke of an egge thesame maye he drinke colde or warme that strengtheneth hym very well ¶ For the Iaundis HE that hath the iaundis muste beware of all meates or drinckes that coole him for they hurte him But if the iaundis doth greue him then make hym thys drinke Take a peny weight of beaten Saffron and a penny weight of Ancolye beaten also put them into a porenger or wyth vinegre and steare them wel together put also a litle wine and water to them that it maye be thynne inough then let it be dronke fasting and it breaketh the iaundis withoute hurte But if the disease woulde differre and the iaundis woulde not voyde wherby the paciēt could haue no stomake if he be stronge inough geue him Rebarbara made to pouder temper it with a fresh Peasebroth and let him drinke it agaynst the daye breake If he hath strength then let him walke after it and holde a tosted pece
of bread before his mouth and fast two houres vpon it Thys purgeth Colera an Flegma whereof come the ague and the iaundis or els wydeth it the stomake aboue whereby the stomake is clensed of slyme and the iaundis But if he could not do it or that it dyd yrke hym to take the Rebarbara then geue hym halfe an vnce of Diasene the one halfe at nighte the other halfe in the morninge and let thys be beateÌ„ wyth a Peasebroth or els swalowed in wyth a rosted apple or soure thynge thesame purgeth also But if hys head dyd ake of colde then anoynte hys heade forheade and tempels wyth oyle of Camomille and put into his nose oleum benedictum and a litle into hys eares also and make him a fote bath with floures of Camomille thesame chafeth the bloude and heade very well But if he hath a moyst heade then cause him to nise and let hym take the roote of Piretrum that is Walworte in hys mouth and chawe it the same draweth out the moystnesse out of the heade and geue hym CinamoÌ„ Coriander Zeduaria or Nutmegges to eate It is good also that he that hath a colde ague which hath lasted longe wherewith a man is greatly cooled that he I saye be well anoynted the back the loynes and the belly wyth oyle of Bayes and oyle of Iuniper of eche lyke muche agaynste a good fyre that it be well rubbed in Do this in the morninge and eueninge for it chafeth the veines and wythstandeth the

right hande in the harte veyne and the nynth daye in both the fete without aboue the ankles nother must he let to muche bloud in any of the veynes But it must be consydered whether he hath strength inough whether the age is coÌ„uenient for it and whether the season doth agre to it If anye thynge shoulde hinder the letting of bloud then must his bloud be cooled wyth these thynges namely wyth water wherein is sodden Psylium that is Flewurt and wyth a litle milke of Poppy sede this oughte to be geuen him to drincke Geue him also a syrope of Violettes and water where in are sodden black Cheries But if his belly were to harde then ought it to be mollifyed herewyth Take Barly a good handfull brayed and seth it in a pint of water put ther to a litle butter and a litle salte and a litle Saunder mixte wyth a litle suger and geue him otherwhiles a slyce of bread that hath ben stiped in that water thesame mollifyeth his body and bloud nother oughte he to drincke any other wyne then that be sower and well mixte with barly water Lay otherwhyles vpon his nauel butter as bigge as a beane and laye a thinne dishe vpon thesame tyll the butter be saked in And if strength can beare it and that it doth not greue him then geue him a purgacion with a confecte de succo rosarum and geue him the night before syropes of Violettes that he maye be mollifyed before and he shall haue easy sieges But if he hath heade ake then anoynt his heade herewyth Take halfe an vnce of oyle of roses a quarter of an vnce of vinegre halfe a drame of Bolus armeny made to pouder mixe them well together and anoynt his forhead therewyth and his temples and throte Then take a dish full of colde water and put therein as muche vinegre and wette a cloth therein lyke a bande of thre fingers wringe it out and binde it about hys forhead temples And take two clothes eche as bigge as a fyt and wette them therein also and geue hym alwayes one in hys hande tyll it waxe drye Wette yet two clothes therein and binde them about his fete and wheÌ„ they are drye then wet them agayne This cooleth the bloud draweth out the euell heat whereof commeth the headake But if the headake will not go awaye nor aswage then marke by hys vrine and all hys beaucoure whereof it commeth him and vse theselfe toward hym as is taught seuerally before of the head ake It is to be noted that if the head ake commeth of the stomake then is he more disquiet after meate then before Him maye ye helpe of this wyse Purge hys stomacke wyth a laxatiue after y t muste he be measurable with eating and drinkinge accordinge to his
