A14053	A new boke of the natures and properties of all wines that are commonly vsed here in England with a confutation of an errour of some men, that holde, that Rhennish and other small white wines ought not to be drunken of them that either haue, or are in daunger of the stone, the revine, and diuers other diseases, made by William Turner, doctor of Phisicke. Whereunto is annexed the booke of the natures and vertues of triacles, newly corrected and set foorth againe by the sayde William Turner.

quite out of the towne I think no. Euen so if smal white wines should driue humors from diuerse places of the bodie and shoulde not carrie them forth by the water vesselles but let them lie stinking there it ought not to be called a scourer but a defiler an hurter of the bodie If the maister of the pudding cart before named would let the filthines of the butcherie tarie so long there vntill it stanke so sore by reason of long continuing in that place and for lacke of carying out betime that both they of the butcherie and all the neighbours about were grieuouslye vexed with the foule stinke of that filth that taried so long there if an other carter offred for the same wages euery seconde day to carie out all the vncleannesse of the towne which of these two mē were more worthy to haue the office and name of the townescourer Smal white wines scoure and driue out the vncleannesse of the bodie as much as it is possible to be done by them and red and Clared wine stoppe and hold backe and fill the bodie full of ill humors now which are most profitable to be taken most commonly of a man for the kéeping of his health But although small white wine by nature hath such properties to driue out by vrine vnprofitable humors that are commed within the compasse of their working yet the vertue of it is hindered either if the man by eating and drinking to much continually fill the bodie with so many excrementes that nature euen being holpen with white wine cannot driue them out by reason of the ouerflowing plentie of them also if that the meat lie to long in the stomach and the excrements to long in the guttes and goe not downe at conuenient times to the stoole White wine sometime cannot driue out humors sufficiently if it be hindered by ill diet Than the white wine for lacke of helpe can not doe his office And it is plaine that banketting and much eating and drinking and keeping of the meat to long in the stomache and the excrements vnscoured out of the bellie giue the most part of the material cause vnto the stone which thing may be easilye proued by the authority of Aetius writing of the stone in these wordes The materiall cause of the stone Ye must beware of such meats as are hard of substance and are not esie to be broken with chowing and also them that haue much substance Holding of humors to long in the body is the cause of the stone and not the driuing of them forth dayly in good season and nourish verye much and those that are conueyed in by heapes into the bodie before they be fully digested or made ripe also meates of an heauy qualitie and are hardly chaunged and swim aboue and go to slowly downe to the belly fill it ful of wind Flie also such as stop the ways and veynes of the bodie or otherwise abide to long in the bellies for the bellie being made wearie with such meates sendeth them forth either as yet raw or halfe sodden to the liuer and kidneyes and so it that was brought in by heapes rawe is sifted or streyned vnfitlye and against nature and with an hastie rage is caried to the kidneyes and by and by it groweth togither and is thickned and standeth there still Thus farre Aetius Of whome we may learne plainly howe the stone is made and of what causes and that neither small white wine neyther any other wine will preserue a man from the stone except he kéepe good diet withall and emptie out the excrements of the bellie dailye And the same sayth afterward ventrem semper probè laxum habere oportet Hic enim si bene subierit puriora lotia prodibunt That is ye must haue your bellie alway well losed for if the bellie worke well downeward your water shall come forth the fairer and cleaner If so often emptying of the bellye as nature requireth maketh a mans water cleare and faire then the to much stopping of the bodie maketh a foule drousie or dreggye water But such foule geare bréedeth the stone therfore to much stopping of the bellye is oft the cause of the stone For when as such plentie of filthie matter cometh forth by the water there must néedes be much aboue in the kidneyes and bladder wherof the stone may be ingendred if there be anye excessiue heate in the kidneyes and bladder All men therefore may plainly sée that small white wine is falslye accused to be a bréeder of the stone when as ill diet and the stopping of ill humors within the bodye is the cause thereof and that wines that are hoter and stronger than white and Rhennish wines be engender rewmes and bréede the goute more than the white small wines do as it is by places aboue alleaged fully prooued Of the natures of wynes after their tastes THe wines that are commonlye brought into England named by their tastes in Gréeke 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that in Latine vina dulcia astringentia austera acerba and such like as are acria and acida for the most part wherof we haue neuer one proper name in English though we can name dulce vinū well in English swéete wine but what shall we call acre austerum and acerbum in common vsed English surely I cannot tell for I cannot giue to euery one of these wordes one seuerall vsed English word without circumlocution wherfore séeing that the proper English wordes are so harde to be found and the meaning of the words are as little knowen of the most part of all men I think it shall be necessarye to shewe by the authoritie of some old learned writer what these words adstringens austerum and acerbum acer and acidus doe signifie and betoken If any man say that I nede not to take this paine bicause the great and costlye booke called Thesaurus linguae Romanae Britannicae that is the treasure of the Latin and English tongue hath done that thing alreadie I aunswere that I asked counsell of that great booke and in dede as I found great plentie both of good Latin wordes and fine maners of speaking gathered wyth great paines and ordered with no small learning and iudgement but in the English as I found to much plentie of light and new inckhorne termes so in some places I founde such scarcenesse lacke and want of proper and true Englishe names that the author is faine to giue one name to diuerse Latin wordes for when I looked how he englished Acer he englisheth it thus Eger sharpe tart soure or fell Lo here is great plentie of wordes and yet we can not tell what acer in taste doth properly signifie and a litle after he writeth these wordes acer acidus succus Vitruuius eger By this booke we may English lac acidum eger milke And afterwarde where as of purpose he expoūdeth what Acidus betokeneth he englisheth it eger soure sharp

therefore the drinking of wine is profitable for olde men but to them that are in growing it is excéeding hurtfull moreouer Plato did not suffer that the souldiers shoulde drinke any wine in the campe neither bondmen in the citie neyther princes nor gouernors in the cōmonwelth neither iudges neither any other that should enter in the counsell about any matter bicause that wine as a certain tyrant doth rule ouercome the powers of the soule Hitherto Galen But bicause it hath bene diuerse times sayd that wine is good for olde men and it is not as yet fullye shewed what maner of wine that should be it shal be best to teache men by Galen what wines are best for old men Galen lib. 5. de sanitate tuenda sayth All your counsell must goe to this ende in chosing of wine fit for old men that it may be very thin or subtil in color redish yellow or yellow or pale yellow which is of a middle color betwéene bright yellow and white The warming of all the members in olde mens bodies There are two profites that come to old men by the vse of wine one is that it warmeth all the members of their bodies and the other is that it scoureth out by the water all the whayishnesse or thin waterishnes of the bloud and bicause it doth so effectuallye The scouring awaye of the whaiish waterynesse of the bloud it is best for olde men But such wine is it that is thin in substance driueth forth water and is yellow in color for that is the proper color of hote wines and so also which haue bene from the beginning verye white and haue gotten a certaine yellownesse when they haue waxed old wherevpon they begin first to be a little yellowishe pale and afterwarde to be plainly yellow pale But such wines as are eyther pale yellow or bright yellow and a fat substaunce increase the bloud nourish the bodie by reason wherof they are now then good for old men to wete at such times whē as they haue not much wheyish moisture would be more plenteously norished but for all that aged mē had more nede for the most part such wines as make a man pisse much bicause they haue such plenty of waterish excrements Now good reader séeing that almighty God our heauenly father hath giuen thée this noble creature of wine so manye wayes profitable for our bodies and mindes thanke him with all thy heart not onely for it but also for that he hath sent learned Phisitions to tell thée how in what measure and in what time thou should vse them and not vse them and for what complexions and ages they are good and for what complexions and ages they are euill If thou take any harm by misusing this noble creature of God blame not him but thine owne selfe that hast abused it contrary to his will and to the learning of his officers seruants that taught thee the right vse of it Honor be giuen to God for euer Amen FINIS This Booke sheweth at large the powers commodities vertues and properties of the three most renouned and famous Preseruatiues or Triacles to weete of the great Triacle called in Latine Theriaca Andromachi of the Triacle Salt and of it that is called by the name of the first finder out and maker Mithridatium Gathered out of Galen and Aëtius by the labours and paines of William Turner Doctor of Phisicke Newly corrected and amended Mellis si nimia est copia bilis erit William Turner to the gentle Reader FORASMVCH AS both Christian charity and the common ciuil loue that euerye man oweth to his countrye woulde and doth require that all Christians and men liuing ciuilly togither in one common countrye shoulde one helpe another with such giftes either of the minde as learning knowledge wisedome and cunning or with bodily giftes as riches strength and all kinde of mans helpe if they be more richly replenished therwith than their neighbors be Methinke we that professe the science of Phisick and can shewe great helpe and comfort vnto our brethren and countrymen as wel as men of other countries to wete Italians Germanes and Spaniards haue done might iustlye be accused of vnkindnesse if none of vs being so many would take in hand to declare in the English tong the manifolde and worthie vertues of the great Triacle made by Andromachus and of the Triacle Salt which is called in Latine Saltheriacalis Wherefore seeing that hitherto I haue not perceiued any man to haue taken that labour in hand for the loue that I owe vnto almightie God and his people my countrymen of England I will aduenture as well as I can to declare the nature vertue propertie and operations of the forenamed Triacle and also of the Triacle Salt And bicause I am not minded to bring out any new thing of mine owne inuention I entend for to gather the summe of this whole matter out of an olde Graecian named Galen the most famous writer of Phisicke that wrote this .xiiij. hundred yeare in all Europa Asia or Africa and out of another famous Graecian named Aëtius a man of great learning who gathered into a booke that is now abrode in Latin all the most notable compositions that his predecessor noble Galen lest behind him and a great number of compositions of medicines written before Galens time by noble Phisitions wherof Galen made no mention and also of no small number of excellent compositions of medicines inuented by learned Phisitions after Galens time If this my paine taken in this matter shall be perceiued to be thankefull vnto thee and to be well taken if God sende me longer life and health I will set something more forth to the profite of all my country men both my friendes and foes also The maner of making of the great Triacle and Triacle Sale and Mithridatium maye be had both in Galen to Piso and also in Aetius Wherefore if there be any Apothecaries of Lōdon that dare take in hande to make these noble compositions they may know now where to haue thē or if that for lacke of some simple medicines not easilye to he had in England they dare not aduenture vppon the making thereof they maye haue them made alreadye from Venice as faithfully compounded at this time as euer any Triacles haue bene made there these .xl. yeres But now let vs reherse the vertues and properties of these excellent medicines And first of the great Triacle ¶ Galen writeth to Piso this THE TRIACLE DEuised by Andromachus the elder is verye good against the biting of all wilde beastes and Serpentes against poysoned medicines against diseases of the stomach shortnesse of winde against the Colicke against the iaundise the dropsey the consumption of the lunges all kinde of crampes or drawings togither the pleurisie sores of the bladder stopping of water paines of the kidneyes pestilent diseases and also the biting of a mad dog if it be taken in the weight

of the Beane of Egypt with thrée ciathes of warme water that is about the measure of foure ounces and a half It is also good against the long during paines of the head disinesse of the head and hardnesse of hearing it mendeth the dulnesse of the eye-sight it helpeth the falling sicknesse and them that cast out bloud if a man will giue it with the broth of Comfrey It draweth out the wormes in the guttes it helpeth those that haue diseases of the liuer and milt it helpeth thorowlye the bloudie flixe and the common flixe that commeth of the slipperinesse of the guts and stomacke and the turning torments of the guts especially if the guttes haue no inflammation or great burning heate in them Besides this when as the body wasteth away with to much sweating and his strength is brought to weakenesse the nature of the disease will not suffer the vse of wine this triacle drūken stayeth or stoppeth the sweate and restoreth the strength that was weakened before It doth also prouoke downe to women their sickenesse that hath bene long stopped and it doth now and then open the stopping of the issue of the mother and of the Emrodes for séeing that it is endued with sundrye and mengled qualities or properties therfore it spreading abrode something making them thin draweth them togither that they maye be sifted out It vseth for to staye other things that flowe aboue measure by reason of the weaknesse of the strength of the body or the power retentiue or holding power and therefore restoreth the strength againe and also it helpeth all diseases of the ioyntes when as the time of increasing the disease is past and it is come to the highest for then thou shalte giue to drinke this triacle after thou hast made fometations vpō the aking place the which in déede shall driue awaye the flowing humors that are stuffed in and shall driue backe those that woulde fall in afterwarde This Triacle is good also for them that are of perfite health if they take it oft With the vse of this Triacle I haue oft times helped those that haue the disease called in Greeke Elephantiasis and now commonly called the lepre or leprosie which is not in déede the lepre of the olde Grecians neither it that the scripture maketh mention of It is not onely good for the bodie but also for the minde for if it be oft drunken it healeth melancholyke diseases and wasteth away blacke choler by reason whereof it is also good for the Feuer Quartaine which commeth of blacke choler But it may not be giuen in the beginning of a Quartaine otherwise called melancholy I haue deliuered many verie easily that haue bene sicke of the Quartaine with this remedie For I vse first to purge the sick person by vomiting which is done after meate and the next daye I giue hym to drinke the iuice of wormwood and then two houres before his 〈◊〉 I geue him this Triacle and oft times the pacient is by and by deliuered from his fit This medicine hath accustomably taken away the feare of water which of all diseases is the worst and vseth to come to a man after he is bitten of a mad dog They that haue this disease are afrayde of water and for the great drynesse that they haue within thē they are desirous of moysture but they forbeare or hold themselues from drink bicause that they are departed from their right minde and vnderstanding and consider not what woulde helpe them or doe them good And therefore it commeth to passe that they flying eschuing water wither and are drawen togither with a deadly crampe by the reason of a hote ague that they are inwardly burnt with and so at length die the wretchedst kinde of death that can be I haue vsed somtimes to put some portion of this triacle mengled with rose oyle into the wounde that the madde dog hath made that it might after the maner of a boxing glasse sucke and draw out from the bottome the vennome in so much that the Triacle is not onely good to be taken in but also to be layde outwardly vpon the wound which as soone as the dog hath made with his téeth must be launced and cut rounde about and kept open for the space of foure dayes that the venome may therby breth out that the wounde be not stopped or growen vp againe And for this purpose ye may make a cauterisation in the wound to kepe it long open but bicause the most part of men can better abide the akings than the burnings If the wounde can be kept open with only cutting it shall be better to let it abide so in tender and weake persons but if it wil néedes grow to then must it be kept open with burning or cauterisation A man cannot finde a better remedie than this triacle against the pestilence which being also as it were a wild beast bred of the corruption of the ayre leaping vpon men by the inbreathing of that ill breaths which destroyeth wasteth and maketh hauock not only of one man but of whole tounes and Cities And as Hipocrates draue away the pestilence out of Athens with great fires made of spice woods and swéete floures chaunging the temperature of the aire that men by this meanes might draw in with their breath the purified or clensed aire for a remedye against the common euill that reigned there then Euē so this Triacle like a scouring or purging fire will not suffer them that take it in before they be infected to be infected at al and deliuereth them that are infected already if they take it in afterward chaunging the malicious poyson of the aire which they haue receyued by breath And suffereth not the disease to spread any further Wherfore I counsel thée euen whē as thou art in thy best helth to vse oft this Triacle But especially when thou makest thy iorney in the winter And this Triacle strengthneth also the wittes or senses It quickeneth the minde or vnderstanding and so defendeth the body by reason of the mixture that it suffereth not the bodye to be ouercome by anye poyson or venemous drink or potion As it is reported of king Mithridates who defended himselfe so not with the great triacle which at that time was not but with a preseruatiue of his owne making which after his owne name was called Mithridatium that he could not be ouercommed with any poyson a man must vse this Triacle after he hath perfitely digested Somtime in the quantity of a beane of Egypt with thrée ounces a halfe of water And somtime when he hath more time to digest the medicine he may take the quantitie of a Hasel nut with four ounces a halfe of water But I would counsell no body to take this triacle in the heate of Sommer Neyther ought it to be taken oft and much of them that are of flourishing or lusty age neither of thē that are of hote natures or complexions

for their natures and complexions and diseases or no. The which thing if they will not doe neither will learne in what quantitie they ought to be taken neither what persons of what ages neither at what times they ought to be taken doubtlesse I thinke that it will chaunce sometime that the most precious medicines shall turnē to their owne destructions Let no man now say but he is sufficiently warned The great Triacle the Mithridatium may be had wel euen of the best making of the most part of the Apothecaries of the citie of London and sometimes of other that trauaile to Venice all these three sortes are nowe lately made and dressed in the famous Citie of Venice THE NAMES OF DISeases and griefes that maye be healed by the great Triacle called Theriaca Andromachi as Galen writeth in his booke vnto Piso THE biting of all venemous beasts and serpents All kinde of poysons and poysened drinkes The diseases of the stomach Shortnesse of winde The Colicke The Iaundise or Guclesought The Dropsey The consumption of that Lungs or ptisick All kinde of Cramps or drawings togither or shrinking of sinewes The pleuresey or side ague with a stitch and spitting of bloud and vlcerations Sores of the bladder Stopping of water or vrine Paines of the Kidneyes Pestilence and pestilent diseases The biting of a mad dog Olde headakes Disinesse of the head Hardnesse of hearing The dulnesse of the eye sight The falling sicknesse Vomiting of bloud Wormes in the guttes The diseases of the Liuer The diseases of the Milt The bloudie flix The common flix The turning tormentes of the guttes Wasting away with to much sweating The stopping of womens monthly sicknesse The stopping of the mother The stopping of the Emrodes All superfluous flowings of the body All diseases of the ioyntes Poysoning and falling to perillous diseases The common Lepre called Elephantiasis The disease of the minde that came of melancholye All melancholicke diseases Plentie of choler called melancholy The quartaine ague The feare of water after the biting of a mad dog The weakenesse of the wittes or senses THE NAMES OF THE diseases and griefes that maye be healed by the Triacle Salt according vnto the learning of Galen and Aëtius All the diseases of the skin but chiefly these that follow THe white Morphew The Lepre of the Grecians and scripture The wilde scurfe The common Lepre called in Latin Elephantiasis The blacke morphew Wilde scabbes The falling of the heare Thinnesse of the heares Stopping of sweate Ouermuch plentie of flegmaticke excrements Lacke of digestion Lacke of appetite Dulnesse of senses or wittes Suffusions that bréede the hawe and pearle in the eye called of some Cataracta Stopping of venemous diseases The outragious flowing of venemous diseases The bitting of venemous beasts and serpentes The pestilence and contagious aire The disease of the kidneyes The debilitie and weakenesse of the kidneys Olde headaches The falling sicknesse Olde Iaundise The diseases of the Milt The Colicke The dropsey The vnsatiable hunger called Bulimos The cold that a mā taketh in cold weather Shakings and tremblings that come before agues Consumptions Ptisicks and wastings of the bodye The Palsie and weaknesse of the ioints and other members The Goute All diseases of the ioyntes Olde quartaines Dotings and madnesse that come of melancholie All kinde of wormes that breede within a man The rotting other diseases of the téeth Rheumaticke humors in the head Certaine diseases of the eyes THE NAMES OF THE diseases that may be healed by the noble preseruatiue medicine called Mithridatium as Galen and Aëtius and all other learned Phisitions that wrote after them of such matter do beare witnesse in their writings THe stopping of the Liuer Olde reumes flowing downe into the stomacke and brest Impostumes Déepe vlcerations and of scraping of the skin that are farre in the body Consumptions and Ptisicks Windynesse in the body The common flixe The dull appetite Euill fauored color of the face and other places of the body The stone Hardnesse and painefulnesse in making of water Gathering togither of melancholy Dulnesse of the eye sight All deadly poyson FINIS ¶ Imprinted at London by William Seres dwelling at the West ende of Paules at the signe of the Hedge-bogge
