For an Electuary to be distributed into several Doses that of Hermannus Vander Heyden is a very good one and as he asserts approved by frequent Experience Take of Diascordium one Ounce and a half of Venice Treacle two Drams of Confectio Hyacinthi one Dram Pouder of Nutmegs Rue Seeds Root of Angelica Enulacampane of each one Dram and a half Wine Vinegar or rather Pestilential Vinegar one Ounce Oyl

of Bread and Mace and sweetn'd with Sugar Besides to the richer sort give now and then a draught of a Cordial Julep and sometimes a Dose of a Cordial Electuary which kind of Medicines should be given likewise after Sweating is over once in three or four hours of one or other to refresh the Spirits and to keep the Malignity from the Heart Give him no cold Beer in two or three days After Sweating wash the Mouth with White-wine Vinegar and Rose Water Also dip a Spunge in the same warm and gently stroke the Temples of the Head and Nostrils with the same Between whiles give of the Medicines following Take Woodsorrel Water and Dragon-Water of each Four Ounces Scordium Water two Ounces Treacle Water or Plague Water one Ounce and a half Syrup of Gilloflowers or of Juice of Citrons two Ounces Pearle finely pouder'd one Scruple Spirit of Vitriol twelve Drops Mix them Or make a Decotion thus Take of Harts-Horn rasp'd and Ivory of each three Drams a Pear main sliced Wood-sorrel half an handful Boyl these in three Pints of Water till a third part is wasted Strain it on two Ounces of Conserve of Gilloflowers or Woodsorrel or Red Roses Let it infuse an hour then stir it and strain it out Give a Quarter of a Pint warm Whereas we give Emulsions made with such a Decoction and Almonds and cold Seeds in Fevers Diemerbroek affirms upon his frequent Observation Emulsions never do well in the Plague Take of the Conserve of Woodsorrel four ounces of the Rob of Goosberries or Rasberries two Ounces Species Diarrhodon Abbatis two Drams Confectionis Liberantis one Dram and a half of Prepar'd Pearl half a Dram Red Coral prepar'd one Dram with a sufficient quantity of Syrup of Juice of Citron Let it be made an Opiate The Dose is one or two Drams often in a day Sometimes the Plague is accompanied with dangerous Symptoms to which if Remedies are not suddenly applied all we do besides is to little purpose Such Accidents which call for respective ways of Cure are chiefly Fluxes of Blood and Loosness of the Belly and Vomiting The first use to happen several ways viz. at the Nose and Mouth by Stool or Urine by the Haemorrhoids and in Women by Menstrual Purgations Some of which as by Urine always and oft times by Stool are mortal none of them ever tend to good Therefore in all such cases Remedies must be administred which may stop Bleeding And though Sweating and Refection of the Spirits be still the principal intention of Cure yet the other must come in as collateral with both of them and Medicines that restrain Fluxes of Blood be mixed both with Sudorificks and other Cordials and also be administred with Diet too In all Haemorrhages Sudorificks must be compounded of Medicines that are temperate and not astringent For Potions they be made thus Take Pimpernel Water or Tormentil Water two Ounces of Scordium Water six Drams of Vinegar that has Tormentil Roots infus'd

Vinegar be made thus Take of the Roots of Angelica Butter-Burr Tormentil Elecampane of each half an Ounce Virginian Snake-Weed choice Zedoary Contrayerva of each three Drams Leaves of Scordium Rue Goats-Rue of each one handful Marigold Flowers Clovegilloflowers of each half a handful Seeds of Citron and Carduus of each two Drams Cut and bruise these and put them in a Glass-Bottle with three Pints of the best Vinegar to digest for ten days When the Stomach by frequent taking of one sort of Antidote begins to loath it In such Cases the use of it may be changed into some other And if the Stomach withal should be ill and defective in Appetite and Digestion let the Party take every Morning ten or twelve Drops of Elixir Proprietatis in plain Wormwood Water or else in Wormwood Wine Those that have Coughs and ill Lungs may take five or six Drops of Balsum of Sulphur made thus Take Flower of Sulphur two Ounces melt it in an Earthen Dish glaz'd on the fire then put to it two Ounces of Salt of Wormwood stir it for a Quarter of an Hour taking care that it does not catch fire Then put into it of Aloes Myrrh Olibanum finely pouder'd of each one Dram of Saffron half a Dram Keep this stirring half a Quarter of an Hour Take it off and put half an Ounce of it pouder'd to digest in five or six Ounces of good Spirit of Wine It will take in a short time a very excellent Tincture Which keep for use Or else this Balsam may be made with Spiritus Theriacalis Camphoratus and so will be more effectual against the Plague Or which is more applicable to use Put an Ounce of that Pouder newly made into a pretty large Glass and put to it a Quart of good Sack Set it in a gentle heat for three or four Hours it will take a Tincture And of this one may take half a Spoonful at a time And I suppose two Spoonfuls in a convenient Vehicle may be a good Sudorifick to be given one that is infected Though Purging in time of Pestilence is not good as Diemerbroek by frequent Examples has observ'd yet in Cachochymick Bodies it may be convenient once in a fortnight to take a Dose of Pillulae Ruffi Take half a Dram at Night and next Morning take the wonted Antidote as at other times Also for those that live in an infected Air that there is suspicion that they may daily take in some pestiferous Vapours which fermenting with the Blood and Humours may insensibly at last break out in the Plague it may not be amiss once or twice a week to take pretty large Sweats in their Beds And this to be done especially if the Party has had any occasion whereby he may suspect himself to have been more open to infection or that he has taken any After such Sweat he should keep his Chamber the forepart of the day till the Pores are reduc'd to be as they were before To provoke such a Sweat Take of Venice Treacle one Dram dissolve it in three Ounces of Carduus Water add a Spoonful of Syrup of Pestilential Vinegar Or take a Draught of Posset-Drink made with Pestilential Vinegar In which boyl a few Petasitis Roots To promote and continue the Sweat take Posset-Drink with Meadow-Sweet or else with Carduus or Marigold-Flowers boyl'd in it Besides the daily and constant use of such Alexipharmacal Remedies there are other Means which occasionally and sometimes continually should be taken For in regard we always draw in the Air at our Nostrils and Mouth these parts should be well guarded with some Antidotes that may keep out the poysonous Vapours from entring in and especially as often as upon occasion we are more nearly expos'd to danger of Infection To this end some things to smell to others to be held in the Mouth chew'd and swallow'd down are frequently to be insisted on That which seems at once to fulfil most of these intentions is taking of Tobacco in a Pipe the Smoke of this secures those parts which lye openest and at once intercepts the Contagion from the Brain Lungs and Stomach Nay more than this it stirs the Blood and Spirits all the Body over and makes them shake off any poysonous Matter that adher'd to them Insomuch that Diemerbroek accounts it not only a Preservative but tells us that himself when he was several times infected by taking five or six Pipes of Tobacco together was presently cur'd And amongst us in England 't is reported That in the last great Plague no Tobacco-Shop was infected If 't is not of so great virtue still amongst us the reason is because most Men have been accustomed to take it so excessively wherefore it is grown so familiar to them that it produceth no alteration when it should be us'd as an Antidote Besides the frequent use of Tobacco which doubtless in time of Plague may be profitable for them that can take it others and also Tobacconists at some times should be furnished with something to smell to when they pass through infected Places Wormwood and Rue Galbanum Castor and Vinegar are good The vulgar practice of putting Mithridate or Treacle or Tar in their Nostrils may be very useful or to have a Pomander to carry in ones hand or put into the top of a Staff Take of the Roots of Contrayerva and Virginian-Snakeweed pouder'd of each Two Drams of the best Myrrh pouder'd half an Ounce of Camphire half a Dram. Let it be made a Pouder Part of this may be enclos'd in a fine Silk Bag and oftentimes dip it in Pestilential Vinegar and so smell to it To the other part of this add Oyl of Nutmegs by Expression and Oyl of Cap-ivy of each a Dram or as much as will make it into a Mass also add of Balsam of Peru one Scruple Dip Cotton Wool in Elixir Proprietatis inclose it in fine Silk and put it in the head of a Staff or Civet Box to smell to For Medicines to hold in the Mouth and chew on Roots of Zedoary Contrayerva and Snakeweed are very good also Roots of Enulacampane Angelica and Masterwort these either alone or macerated in Vinegar and dried again Myrrh is very excellent Some commend Tobacco and chew it almost continually These are the chiefest Remedies which help to keep Infection out of the Body There is yet another sort which serves to let it out and carry it away before it grows to a head viz. Issues which have been found by often experience to be good Preservatives in time of Plague For as much as Nature having a constant vent for excrementitious matter thrown off the Blood by the same way expels poysonous Atoms soon after they are receiv'd into the Body Concerning Rules of Diet I need not say much because such Precepts are commonly known 'T is to be observ'd in general that only wholsome Food should be taken Very salt Meats as hang'd Beef Bacon Pork salt Fish also shell-Fish

most kind of Herbage and raw Fruit should be avoided The Meals should be moderate and eaten in due season Some Antidotal Things may be taken with the Meat or mix'd in the Sauce Clove Gilloslowers pickled also Citron Peel and Juice Rasberries Currants Pomegranate Juices Pestilential Vinegar and Mustard made with the Seeds of Thlaspi may be of some good effect These kind of Remedies and manner of living ought chiefly to be insisted on as Preservatives against the Plague Those that are timorous and of tender Constitutions require a support from the use of more means whereas Persons that are strong and of a bold temper have need of the less Remedies But 't is not safe for any to be so confident as to dare to converse with infected People or live in the midst of Contagion without any Antidote at all In the use of means caution is to be had that strong and hot Cordials be not too often taken nor yet indifferently by all People for that will inflame the Blood and make it apt to kindle a Fever which at such times soon turns to the Plague The like caution is to be had against immoderate drinking of Wine though a moderate proportion chears and fortifies the Spirits yet too much greatly disorders them and thereby People are more expos'd to take Infection Letting of Blood in time of Plague has been observ'd to be very pernicious so also oft or strong Purging for the Veins being emptied either way will readily suck in whatever poysonous Atoms lurk in the outward Pores of the Body which being admitted become the more prevalent because the Spirits being depauperated are less able to subdue or repel them Thus much of the way of Preservation Next we are to treat of the Cure of those that are infected The Cure of the Plague admits of no Delay neither indeed is there need of any deliberation what ought to be done but as soon as any one finds himself infected let him forthwith take to his Bed and having pray'd to Almighty God for his Blessing begin to use the Means If the Party is much oppress'd at his Stomach and strains to vomit or else with vomiting throws up bitter and stinking Matter let him presently take a large draught of Carduus or Camomile Posset-Drink and in it either half a Dram of Salt of Vitriol or two Ounces of Liquor of Squills and with his finger or a Feather fetch up what is contain'd in his Stomach but take no Antimonial Medicine that will work beyond the Stomach As soon as he has vomited or if there is no occasion for this Evacuation let him presently be put into a Sweat and continue for twelve hours more or less according as his strength will hold out and not sleep in it or not till the latter end of it If when he begins to Sweat or endeavours it his Vomiting still persists then apply to the pit of the Stomach a Toast of White-Bread spread over with Treacle or Mithridate and dipt in Claret-Wine or Pestilential Vinegar made Scalding hot in a Peuter Dish Wrap this in fine Linnen and apply it very hot After a plentiful Sweat for twelve fourteen or eighteen hours give him some Refective as Broth Caudle Mace-drink or the like and a little while after suffer him to sleep if he can Then give him temperate Cordials by way of Confection or Julep or both which repeat every third or fourth hour Also at the time that the Party settles to sleep lay Vesicatory Plaisters behind the Ears and under the Arm-pits and also in the Groin After he has slept or endeavour'd it and his Spirits are pretty well refresh'd at a moderate distance from the first sweating viz. Eighteen or Four and Twenty hours sooner or later according as Symptoms are more or less urgent and his strength is able repeat the Sweating again and so proceed through the whole Cure one while Sweating and another while refreshing his Spirits by temperate Cordials and Sleep betwixt whiles administring fit Nourishment until such time as the Symptoms are abated wholly and either the Disease terminated or else the Malignity is driven all out in Boyls or Carbuncles which how they must be order'd shall be set down Though the same kind of Sudorificks may be given indifferently to most People yet because there is variety of such Medicins in respect both of the Matter and Form of them therefore some choice may be had in the administration of them that so we may comply with the Patient's taking them best in this or that kind of Form and also that those that are hotter be given to Persons of a cold Temper and those Medicines which are more temperate to such whose Constitutions are hot I shall set down several Forms of Sweating Medicines which are given either in Potion Bolus or Pouder Potions Take of Small Plague Water Two Ounces Pestilential Vinegar half an Ounce of Venice Treacle one Dram mingle them Take of Compound Scordium Water two Ounces Treacle Water half an Ounce Venice Treacle one Dram Salt of Wormwood one Scruple Spirit of Vitriol Six Drops Mingle them Take of Butter burr-Burr-Water three Ounces Venice Treacle Diascordium of each one Dram Pestilential Vinegar one Spoonful Mix them Take of Carduus Water Four Ounces Pestilential Vinegar One Ounce Pestilential Extract One Scruple Mix them Or make some Posset-Drink with Pestilential Vinegar in a Draught of it dissolve one Dram or a Dram and a half of any of these Confections adding one Scruple of Salt of Wormwood In a Spoonful or two of treacle-Treacle-Water or Vinegar or both mix'd give fifteen or twenty Drops of Spirit of Harts-horn or of the simple Mixture from half a Dram to a Dram or of Balsam of Sulphur from ten to twenty Drops or fifteen Drops of Elixir Proprietatis For the Poorer sort make Posset-Drink with Pestilential Vinegar and boyl in it some Butter-Roots and give a Draught hot Or make this Potion which Henricus a Bra magnifies above all other Remedies from the Experience of it in a great Plague once raging in his Country Take Celandine and Rue of each one handful Marigold Flowers half a handful boyl these in a Quart of White-Wine Vinegar strain it out and keep it in a Glass Bottle give two or three Spoonfuls in which dissolve of Venice Treacle or Mithridate one Dram. This will provoke Sweat very powerfully Some others commend a Decoction of Guaiacum to provoke Sweat with it as in the cure of the French Pox. A plain Decoction of Rue in White Wine with a little Vinegar added to it is highly commended by others Seeds of Rue pouder'd and one Dram of it mix'd with half a Dram of Treacle dissolv'd with White-Wine is accounted an excellent Sudorifick Sudorifick Medicines may be given in Pouder thus Take of Virginian Snakeweed Contrayerva and Gascoigne Pouder or Lady Kent's Pouder of each one Scruple give it in two Spoonfuls of Posset Drink or of a Cordial Julep or in Syrup of Gilloflowers Take

in it two Drams Confection of Hyacinth one Dram of prepar'd Bole half a Dram Extract of Tormentil one Scruple of Syrup of Coral three Drams Or make Posset Drink with Tormentil Vinegar boyl in it a Root of Tormentil and Bistort in one draught of it dissolve of Venice Treacle two Scruples Confection of Hyacinth prepar'd Bole of each one Scruple Make this Apozeme and give two or three Ounces three or four times in a day Take of Tormentil Roots half an Ounce Bistort three Drams Red Sanders one Dram of Pomegranate Peel one Dram St. Johns Wort Plantane and Burnet of each half a handful Flowers of Roses and Pomegranates of each one Dram and a half of Plantane Seeds one Dram Boyl these in three Pints of Water till a Pint is wasted strain it and add to it of Syrup of Coral two Ounces Confection of Hyacinth two Drams Mingle them Pouders may be compounded thus Take of Confectio Liberans or Confection of Hyacinth half a Dram Tormentil Roots Fine Bole of each one Scruple Pearl and Coral prepar'd of each half a Scruple Give it in a Spoonful of Syrup of Coral with a Spoonful of Tormentil Vinegar Make a Bolus thus Take Confection of Hyacinth and Venice Treacle of each half a Dram Tormentil Roots and prepar'd Bole of each one Scruple of Extract of Tormentil half a Scruple of prepar'd Pearl six Grains of Syrup of Coral as much as is sufficient For Iuleps and Confections to give in and betwixt Sweating they be compounded thus Take of Medesweet Water eight Ounces small Plague Water Scordium Compound Water of each three Ounces of Syrup of Coral two Ounces Confection of Hyacinth two Drams of Tormentil Vinegar half an Ounce Mix them Give four or five Spoonfuls every third hour Or take of Conserve of Red Roses four Ounces of prepar'd Coral two Drams of prepar'd Pearl half a Dram Confection of Hyacinth and Alkermes of each one Dram of Tormentil Vinegar half an Ounce or as much as is sufficient Make it up into an Electuary Give once in three or four hours as much as a Nutmeg These kinds of Remedies which are proper in Haemorrhages are also to be used in Fluxes of the Belly likewise by Women with Child because other more hot Medicines may provoke an Abortion Make Tormentil Vinegar thus Take Roots of Tormentil Bistort dried and sliced of each an Ounce Cinnamon half an Ounce Red Sanders one Dram Bruise all very well and put to it a Quart of White-Wine Vinegar digest it in a common Furnace for four days At the same time take Red and White Coral finely pouder'd of each half an Ounce Dragons Blood Blood-Stone of each one Dram Fine Bole two Drams Digest these in the same manner with a Quart of Vinegar Then strain out both the Liquors and mix them Let Extract of Tormentil Roots be made thus Take Tormentil and Bistort-Roots of each one Ounce of Cinnamon half an Ounce of Red Sanders two Drams Salt of Wormwood half an Ounce bruise all together adding of Tormentil Vinegar two Ounces put it in a Vessel to digest with three Pints of Medesweet Water Strain it and evaporate it with a gentle heat in Balneo Mariae to the Consistency of Honey In the Cure of the Plague if a course of Sweating timely administred do plentifully succeed and withal other private Excretions be either prevented or presently supprest the Patient may be judg'd to be in a hopeful condition and sometimes the Venom is quite expell'd without any other accident But for the most part because the Poyson by fermenting the Blood and Humours is soon greatly encreas'd so that all of it especially the grosser Particles cannot easily evaporate it settles in the outward Parts and there causeth the swelling and breaking out of divers kinds Those that require any application of Remedies are Boils and Carbuncles The first of these commonly happen in Parts that are very Glandulous as behind the Ears under the Armpits and in the Groin They arise with a hard Swelling which ought to suppurate and break and the Corruption to be drawn all out by the running of the Sore for some time These Tumors call'd Bubo's should be ordered thus If a Blister is not rais'd on or near the place already 't is good to apply a Vesicatory Plaister just below it but on the Tumor it self to apply some drawing Medicine to attract the Venom outward as at first the Fundament of some living Fowl or else a Colewort-Leaf dipt in scalding Water and dried again and smear'd over with Oyl of Lillies or Scorpions To ripen the Sore lay on Pultises or Plaisters or rather first Pultises and then Plaisters when it tends to suppuration which should be renew'd every twelve hours at least For Pultises Take an Onion and White Lilly Roots boyl them or else wrap them in a wet Paper and roast them in the Embers afterward stamp both together adding a little Treacle and Oyl of Lillies as much as is sufficient Or else roast a Fig with either or both these above-nam'd and make a Pultis in the same manner Or else with either or all above-named Remedies add an handful of Scabious or Sorrel wash'd and after beat all into a Pultis Take Pimpernel roasted on the Embers mollifie it with Oyl of Scorpions adding a little Pouder of Myrrh and Venice Treacle and lay it to the Sore Some do commend live Frogs to be applyed and renew'd as oft as they die For a Plaister to break the Sore when it is open'd Diachylon with Gums or else those two Emplaisters viz. Emplastrum Paracelsi and de Fuligine mention'd by Diemerbroek pag. 213. Paracelsus his Plaister is there thus order'd to be made Take of Gum Oppopanax two Ounces Seraphin or Sagapen four Ounces Bdellium three Ounces Galbanum one Ounce Olibanum two Drams let them be dissolved in Vinegar and strain'd and adding the Pouder of a dried Toad and Frog of Natural Brimstone one Ounce of Camphire one Dram Let it be made a Plaister to be put upon the Tumor and renewed every six hours Emplastrum de Fuligine or Plaister of Soot is thus made Take of Chimney Soot ten Drams Leaven Turpentine Butter of each one Ounce Venice Sope one Ounce and a half of Honey of Roses six Drams Common Salt half an Ounce the Whites of two Eggs Treacle and Mithridate of each two Drams Let them be mixed For the Poorer sort Shoemakers Wax is as good as any If when the Tumor is ripen'd it do not soon break of it self it is best to open it by Incision and when it is broken put in a Pledget dipp'd in Turpentine mix'd with the Yolk of an Egg or dress it with Basilicon alone or the Liniment of Arceus A Carbuncle which is the other kind of Plague-Sore which requires the operation of the hand happens but seldom in any of the Emunctories and when it does it portends ill but useth to be in most places else It ariseth with angry Pustules sometimes one sometimes many which soon grow discolour'd and tend to Mortification and the substance mortified must be cast out and then the hollow Ulcer which remains must be healed When a Carbuncle first appears Diemerbroek commends to be applied to it for the first and second day a Red Colewort Leaf smear'd over with Rape Oyl The same Author mentions a Pultis which he us'd for the most part renewing it three or four times in four and twenty hours till the Gore was taken out and then Digestive Medicines and others succeedingly are to be us'd as in other Vlcers Take Scabious and Devils Bit of each two or three handfuls stamp them and then beat them with the Yolks of two Eggs and a little Salt lay it to the Carbuncle warm renewing it three times in a day at least FINIS
