Goe now to the last of those tumors against nature which is called Scirrhus and be as breefe therein as the former well how will you deale against that grosse hard and melancolick tumor Of the true Scirrhus Stud. The first intention for the cure of Scirrhus is referred to a due order of diet which must bee but little attenuating somwhat hot moist The nourishment must bee such as may breed pure and good blood such as the Grecians call Euchyma The bread must bee of pure wheate not too stale or hard baked Wine that is thinne and pure such as Gascoigne or white wine may be allowed New laid egs chickins capons cockrels partridge veale lambe may bee eaten also broth may bee made with spinage beets borrage buglosse Al goates flesh beefe buls flesh hares flesh brawne bacon and all salt fish must be auoided In like manner colworts cabbage beanes and peason and such like pulse old cheese salt meates and sharpe with pepper mustard garlick and onions must be refused so the Patient must auoid anger griefe vehement cares with immoderate exercise and watchings for those are exceeding driers of the body the belly must bee alwaies kept laxe and soluble The second intention is to purge the matter antecedent to performe which may be prescribed some emollient clyster or some bolus of cassia and catholicon also a veine may be opened especially if the body bee altogether melancholik taking heed that the melancholick humor bee not altogether alienated from the nature of the blood for then we must abstaine from blood-letting minister purging medicines Doct.
