in their proper places which I commit to the iudgement of the skilful Surgeons to vse wisely as the disease and partie affected dotis require Now there remaineth to speake of drinks for wounds before wee teach the preparations of medicines De potionibus vulnerarijs THese potions for wounds although they driue not out the humors downwards yet preuaile they very much to clense woundes because they clense superfluous humors and the blood from all filth and by a certaine marâ—eious qualitie where with they excel they knit the broken bones and help the sinowes that are hurt by wounds helping nature they at the last fil the wound with flesh and close them vp without vsing any other remedie when as I sawe in Germanie the maruelous and almost incredible effect which came by the vse of these potioÌ„s euen in curing desperate Vlcers I thought it not meete to passe ouer the mention of them and that so much the rather because I knew the vse of them in time past was alowed but nowe through the necligence of Phisitions to be almost growne out of vse Also I haue experieÌ„ced those potions to be taken not only as medicins but also as norrishments and to helpe all the passions and incommodities whereunto wounds are subiect The simples whereof the medicines are made are these Cyclaminus Consolida maior Consolida mediae quam Sophiam nonnulli vocant Sabinae Galangae Vinca

if you cut the greene bearbes verie small and wring out the iuice of them into a Pelicane or blinde Limbeck or circulate them three or foure daies in Balneâ— Mariae This last way is most conuenient

another place Out of Saturne calcined is drawne a sweetish salt in balneo with distilled vinegar pouring it so often vpon the Pheces vntil it draw no more The menstrew euaporated the salt remaineth in the botome which by often dissolutions and coagulations is made Cristaline and afterward easily dissolued into oyle being set in a moist place But if you circulate this cristaline salt in a Pelicane with the alcool of wine 15. daies and after take away the menstrew by distillation put to new wine circulate it putting to a fit dose of cristaline salt of Tartar you shall make a Balme sweeter then sugar which will maruellously preuaile against all maligne vlcers and diseases of the eyes Decoct Antimonie made in pouder with a capital lie prepared of Tartar calcined and Sope ashes and quicke-lime the space of one houre then let it coole pouring vpoÌ„ it a litle Vinegar and there wil appeare a certaine rednes swimming vpon which you shal gather then againe let it boile for one houre or two againe let it coole and gather that which swimmeth vp Do this so often vntil there appeare no more rednes For it is the sulphure of antimonie which dried at a soft fire you shal keepe it to good vses Mingle Antimonie with Sugar and Alum and put all into a Retort of glasse make a soft fire for 4. or 5. houres afterward increase it and there will come out an oyle red like bloud It is also done with mercurie sublimate but great â—eede is to be taken lest any errour be committed in the degree of fire Boyle Sulphur prepared with oyle of Linseede with a verie soft fire and it will be like blood congealed Let the matter coole put it into a retort and giue it fire and there will distill out a verie red oyle of Sulphur It is also done if you mingle bran with your Sulphur and distill it Take of Sulphur Vinae P. i. with which mingle with a soft fire so much pure vâ—trioll molten that it may be one body Distill this by a discentorie and there will descend a red oyle into the receauer If i. pound of the flowre of sulphur be mixed with ii or iii. pound of oile of turpentine in a drie heate the flowres wil dissolue into a red oile Then the menstrew rightly artificially separate circulate the rubin of Sulphur with the Alcoll of wine eight dayes and you shal haue oyle of Sulphur that hath the qualities of the naturall Balme The sower oile of Sulphur is made by Sulphur by setting it on fire and hanging ouer it a bell or a large glasse head to 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 which 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 into that 〈…〉 Put Viâ—â—ioll beaâ—en into pouder into a Cucurbite giuing it a fire of the second degree and there wil issue a sower water which is called the â—leame of Vitrioll Take the Pheces which remaineth in the bottome of the vessell which is called Colcothar stampâ— that and if you mingle flyntes withall with a violent fire there will come out a red oyle It is also made with the simple Colcothar driuen out with a violent fire three daies space and there will come forth a verie hot oyle which is made sweete by circulation with spirit of wine Tartarizated But if the Colcothar bee dissolued in warme water and the rednesse in it separated and the water euaporated the Colcothar will remaine sweetish that which remaineth the rednesse being taken away is called Creta Uitrioli But if Vitrioll be drawne by the ninth a limbeck pouring on alwaies the liquor vpon the dead head and after circulating all by the space of eight dayes you shall haue the spirit of Vitrioll verie profitable for many things The â—leame of Allum is made like the fleame of Vitrioll But Allum is prepared if the â—leame be 5. times powred vpon the pheces out of which it was drawne and distilled last of all drie out all the fleame vntill it be drie Make brine of salt into which cast hot burning stones that they may be imbybed those stones so imbybed put into a retort giuing fire by degrees there wil come forth a very hot oyle of salt I said before that there was great force in Butyro Arseâ—ici fixo to cure al
