A61890	The Lord Bacons relation to the sweating-sickness examined, in a reply to George Thomson, pretender to physick and chymistry together with a defence of phlebotomy in general, and also particularly in the plague, small-pox, scurvey, and pleurisie, in opposition to the same author, and the author of Medela medicinæ, Doctor Whitaker, and Doctor Sydenham : also, a relation concerning the strange symptomes happening upon the bite of an adder, and, a reply by way of preface to the calumnies of Eccebolius Glanvile / by Henry Stubbe ...

go about to cure it as my Adversary reports by stopping the sweat by adstringents and cooking things is an attempt I cannot believe till I see some good Author for to averr it it being contrary to the most received rules of Medicine And it is certain that in England at least the first time the cure is not said to have been performed by Eustemachies and counterpoysons that did immediately obliterate the Idaea of the venome corroborate the enormon and exterminate the intoxicated Ichon and ill-conditioned Latex through the habit of the body For the Patient was to lye still during the whole twenty four hours and so cast the clothes on him as in no wise to provoke the sweat but so lye temperately that the sweat might distill out softly of its own accord and to abstain from all meat if he might so long suffer hunger and to take luke-warm drink Out of which it is manifest that they did not use such means as Thomson relates and if small beer warmed may pass for a cooler the use thereof was more beneficial than he will allow of But whatsoever were the Method at the first time of that sickness in the time of Dr. Caius though they were cautious of giving any thing if the Patient did sweat till some hours were past yet did the Physicians use temperate cordials but moderately given and such as he would have termed somewhat cooling but that so powerful and prodigious effects as were then seen ought not to give credit to Galenical Medicines yet had they no other in those dayes vulgarly used In Germany when the diseased party did not sweat they gave them treacle and other Galenical medicines to enforce them when he did sweat then did they give them manus Christi perlated jelly of currants berberies and the like mixed with the conserves of red roses borrage and marigolds and if the patient could not refrain drink then was such a Iulep as this prescribed R. Of the waters of Sorrel Scabious and Carduus Benedictus of each three ounces of the Syrup of Sorrel and that of Syrup Citron-juyce of each an ounce and an half m. This direction is irreconcileable to what my Adversary writes yet were such Galenical medicines effectual in that strange disease And to see with what indiscretion this Pyrotechnist mentioned the cure of this distemper one Tyengius was famous in Holland for his success therein whose method is thus described Petr.

M. called me intolerably ignorant for it but 't was he was so nor the collecting of sundry receipts and Arcana that accomplish a practitioner but a more laborious study in the grounds of Medicine skill in the diagnosticks prognosticks Method of curing and the History of Epidemical diseases and particular cases together with the Experimental accounts of our Materia Medica and the Art of compounding Medicaments occasionally which must perfect him in his profession 'T is to such the world hath been obliged in its extremities hitherto and 't is the felicity of our Nation that the Colledge at London is composed of such and such our Vniversities do breed and were all the books in Europe to be consumed by fire 't is the works of such men I would intercede for and rescue whilst all those of the Lord Bacon the Baconical Philosophers and Van Helmont should be consumed by the flames There are other faults in this account of G. T 's that I might insist on as that the intoxicated Ichor should issue forth in a copious measure symptomatically without any euphoria or alleviation Which is absolutely false For though violent sweats were mortal the more moderate though copious did not only alleviate but recover the Patient if all circumstances besides were duely observed I might reflect upon the canting language and jargon which he useth He that writes in that manner does prudently to dedicate his books to such as are not befitting Iudges of what they contain FINIS AN EPISTOLARY DISCOURSE CONCERNING Phlebotomy In Opposition to G.

Neither is it to be denied but that Rulandus frequently cured Pleurisies even the most desperate by vomits of Aqua Benedicta or the Emetic infusion and pectoral drinks without ever proceeding to Pectoral liniments or Phlebotomy except there did appear further occasion thereof after the vomit So Cent. 1. cur 41 81.

The like course was practised by Hartman who begins with the same vomit and if occasion require descends to Phlebotomy and Diaphoretics Liniments and expectorating Medicaments In Plethorick bodies doth Hartman bleed before he vomit his Patients Sometimes Rulandas doth vomit them with his Aqua benedicta bleed and sweat them for several dayes till they be well using other pectoral Medicaments as Cent. 6. cur 18. Sometimes he sweats and vomits them at once with the powder of Asarabacca-roots and a Decoction or Water of Carduus benedictus and doth not Phlebotomise as Cent. 5. cur 6. Concerning the use of his Aqua benedicta or the Emetick infusion in Pleurisies he avows it to be Experimentum optimum contra hunc morbum et omnium aliorum Medicamentorum certissimum Cent. 1. cur 66. I must profess I have generally guided my practise in the Countrey by the Presidents of Rulandus proceeding to Phlebotomy after vomiting if the pain were not mitigated and expectoration facile but if it were I acquiesced in topicks and expectoration and sweating Where the Patient could or would not vomit ● I followed the Presidents of the said Rulandus for to purge with the decoction of Senna Agaric and some pectoral additions and then to expectorate and sweat the sick not bleeding except occasion required it and then I either

like case when all the discretion of a knowing Chirurgeon could not secure the like tumour from an imminent Gangrene the pain also dilating it self as in this case and to the tumour on the back of his hand was applyed green Wormwood shred and heated as hot as could be indured Being called out of Town at my return the next day I found the tumour and pain much abated the Man so well as to sit up without any ill symptome only he had made no water since the Bite whereupon I appointed him to take once in two hours a drachm of Sal Prunellae in his Mace-ale and at the first dose he made much water but it was of so deep a red that his Wife imagined it to be blood the next was high-coloured but on the next morning I found its colour to be natural The tumour on Tuesday being almost gone and the pains every where vanishing I appointed the Chirurgeon to keep the Scarifications open and to order them as common Sores but to continue to the bitten place both holes being run into one the Basilicon and Treacle and being willing to preserve my Venice-treacle I appointed he should take a Clove or two of Garlick every morning which howsoever it be commended in this case did produce such a pain in the Sore that I was forced to alter it for some Mithridate to be taken every night and morning The same week he was so well as to take me but with more caution twenty Adders and now after three weeks time the Sores are all well and not any tumour remains he being purged only in the conclusion with the decoction of Damask-Roses But after a few dayes a new and strange Symptome appeared all his Back Breast and Belly became spotted with yellow spots of different Figures resembling exactly the colour and bigness of those of the Add●r which bit him the rest of his skin being white and this continued from about the fourth day till now with this discrepancy that in process of time from yellow they turned brown and so by little and little disappeared some remains thereof are still visible but he is perfectly well excepting a sense of benummedness in that and the two subsequent Fingers which seems to shoot from the head of the radius at his Elbow and hath been on mowing several times and is more corpulent than ever before And that part of the Skin on his Back Breast and Belly which was so spotted now peels off and a whiter one succeeds in its place Having given you this account of the Accident and its Cure I shall add some remarks thereupon It may perhaps be expected that I should have applyed the Head of the Viper unto the wounded place or some sliced Pigeons or Chickens but the Accident being proceeded so far I durst not adventure the Patients life upon such Remedies as if they proved ineffectual might frustrate the use of other more generous Medicaments The use of the heated Fire-shovel you see answer'd not those praises which Mr. R. B. honours it with as little doth Mr. Charas attribute thereunto in the cure of that unfortunate Gentleman whom He recovered I add that the Remedy is older in England than Mr. R. B. and his Friends I have read in sundry ancient Receipts both Printed and Manuscript where for the sting of a Wasp Hornet Bee or Adder the application a Coulter red hot as near to the affected place as possible is advised and certainly the efficacy of the heated Coulter must be greater by reason of the intenseness of the heat then his thin Knife or Spatula can promise Let us hence learn that though the Virtuosi do write yet do not we improve alwayes in useful Knowledge and if at any time the Medicaments of the Ancients do fail our expectation those of the Moderns I wish they would not upbraid us with old Remedies lye under the same uncertainties I did not cauterise the place that was wounded because it was so near the ligaments and nerveous parts besides I had no great opinion of its successfulness for the venome having diffused it self so far could receive no stop by such a cautery I add that when Baccius had so cauterised his Apothecary who was bit in the Thumb and that within half an hour after the bite notwithstanding that he fell into most virulent vomitings and other dangerous symptomes and had in all likelihood died had not he been carefully attended and followed with Antidotes forty dayes Whatsoever is said of such cauterising it strengthens the part hinders afflux of humours and their efflux also whereby the venome is continued in the Body but 't is our intention to evacuate it by the place bitten as every man knows In the Cure it is observable that the Man principally attributes his recovery to the Viper-wine though I much doubt whether it would have been so effectual had I not uncessantly administred unto him the Mixtura simpla or until I threw him into a sweat However you see that there is no such absolute necessity of the Volatile Salt of Vipers that Mr Charas so much magnifies my Cure was more expedite by much than his though the Wound were more dangerous and he acteth the Virtuoso not only in stealing that preparation of the Salt of Vipers from the candid and learned Zwelfer and never mentioning him but in boasting so much of a Remedy which the Galenists may want without any prejudice and which in many cases I have found far inferiour to Viper-wine and of no other effect than what you may expect from the Volatile Salt of Harts-horn fixed in the like manner As to the Symptomes which befell this man most of them are taken notice of by several Authors though all that are bitten do not suffer all the same Accidents the idiosyncrasy and anger in the Adder and the divers constitutions and apprehensions of the Patients creating such variety of Accidents but in many things did our case differ from what is related by any one Physician as you may see in Sennertus and Santes Ardoynus Paraeus and Doctor Read The rising of the black Pustules and the stoppage of Vrine seems to be designed by Sennertus and Santes Ardoynus by their Difficultas Vrinae But how far it was from any inflammation which some speak of you may judge by my Relation which favoureth the Opinion of Galen Mesve and Aaron that the poyson of Vipers is cold Upon his sucking of the Wound and the evil consequents thereof it is observable how unsafe that direction of C. Celsus Vesalius Forrestus and others is who advise that a man should suck the bitten place In Amatus Lusitanus you will find a relation of one who dyed by sucking of the place bitten by a Viper The same is avowed by Matthiolus as Paraeus recordeth the Story out of him and instanceth further in a Patient of his own who was much endangered by by sucking upon the bite
