A30934	Sudorificum regale, or, The royal sudoforick	Barker, Richard, Sir.	1676 (1676)	Wing B779A; ESTC R29065	14,525	39

but many times conspire with and advance or confirm the Disease and suddenly draw on Death it self And lastly the pernicious effects and cruel accidents inseparable Consequents of poysonous crude and untruly prepared Medicines For the Remedy hereunto and thereby as much as possible to take away the shame and reproach which lyes on the Art and discouragements which oftentimes fall on the studious learned and ingenious Physitian It seems to me that it would be very expedient to publish promote and bring into light and use some more noble safe gentle effectual and certain Remedies which might by their excellency and power discountenance and exclude the dangerous uncertain and ineffectual Medicines now in frequent use and sometimes necessarily retained in practice by able Physicians as being the only known Remedies for some Distempers From these considerations of Love and Pity to my Country and respect to the honour of the Profession and of the Learned and Experienced Professors of Physick I have oftentimes been pressed to emit something out of my many years very chargeable and laborious Experience and Practice which might worthily aspire to their real Acceptance and unfeigned Approbation as tending to the preservation of Mankind from many miserable and deplorable grievances of Diseases and thereby to evince and demonstrate that all the productions of our Elaboratory are not meer new nothings as many so creperously noised about the World but which deservedly expect a just preference before the obsolete and Vulgar Preparations Of which sort this now commended unto thee by the Royal Name and Signature is not only so efficacious and powerful as hath been spoken but also so safe and innocent from any opposite or indirect quality to Nature that Infants have and may take it with great success in most Distempers they are incident to without the least manifest operation more than a moderate breathing Sweat which happens not neither unless the party be required to keep a little more warm than ordinary but if so ordered then its operation is as aforesaid Sudorifick or Sweating moderately and by that quality with all its true and noble effects well known to the truly Learned it roots out and cures most Diseases of which I here will particularly mention some viz. these following having not now opportunity or leasure to treat of the Causes Natural and Accidental of each known particular Distemper to which it is helpful DIRECTIONS Generally this Sudorifick may be taken in Conserve of Roses or Juice of Liquoris for Stone French-Pox and Scurvy in Juice of Liquoris for Rhumatism in Marmolet of Quinces or Conserve of red Roses for the Gout in Syrup of Elder-Berries or Decoction of Pelitory of the Wall sweetned Common Dose for a Child of one year one grain and so encreasing to seven for one of seven years For a Man 15 grains in extraordinary cases rising to 20 or half a dram in the quantity of a Hazel-Nut of Conserve or half a spoonful or more of Syrup or like matter For those that are subject or inclinable to have the Stone or Gravel let them take this Medicine every night with three or four spoonfuls of warm white Wine after it and the next Morning drink after they have made water a draught of Wine and Water viz. two spoonfuls of white Wine to four of Water and so proportionably for a draught sweeten or otherwise as they like it and it will prevent the gathering and Coagulation of the Stone by bringing away the Gravel Now for those that have already the Stone it may be taken likewise every night with a little warm white Wine after it and the next morning drink a draught of white Wine and Ale proportionably as abovesaid of the Wine and Water wherein hath been boyl'd Parsly and mercury-Mercury-roots of each ½ a handful grumel-Grumel-seeds a quarter of an ounce and in either of these Directions to keep a moderate dyet both as to food and drink refraining any thing of Milk sharp sour or salt things but if extreamly afflicted in this case let them repair to us for a farther and more particular Order and Rule by which and the Blessing of God if Nature be not too far spent and the Parts too deeply ulcerated they may find certain relief as several have done For those that are troubled with Rheumatisms or Destructions let them take it a week together every night and morning and go about their occasions avoiding sharp salt or sour things as aforesaid but such as French-Wine will agree with in this case may drink sometimes a glass or two but not to exceed For the French-Pox those that have newly got it and would again in a little time be quit of it Let them take a Dose of this Medicine every Night going to bed drinking only a little Mace-Ale and be covered in a gentle breathing Sweat for 3 or 4 Hours and the next Morning eat a Mess of thin Broth or Water grewel without Salt keeping moderate Dyet and Drinking and to repair once or twice in a Week to some able Physitian for a gentle and proper Purge in that Case But those that are much troubled with this Distemper and have been already under Flux Salivation purging with Mercurial Medicines prepared with Corrosives Dyet-drinks c. the common long and tedious ways of curing and seldom perfectly cured Such I say that neither are cured nor ever like to be cured by that way let them take a Dose of this Medicine every Night going to bed with a little Mace-Ale after it and keep in a gentle Sweat or indifferent warm and the next Morning take another Dose with a Mess of thin Broth or Water-grewel after it walking about your occasions and observing the same rule and a Moderate dyet as aforesaid for a Month now and then taking a proper and gentle Purge and by this order you may free your self from this sad Distemper and its dangerous Effects If this Medicine be laid upon Shanker Buboes Pustules or any Venereal or other Vlcer that is not too deep it cleanses them from their Poyson defends them from their Humours coming to them and takes away all putrified Flesh that is in them Wherefore it is deservedly commended to all Chyrurgeons as one of the most Effectual Medicines to lay a foundation for the cure of the aforesaid sores or any other if curable whose Symptoms are various As for the Scurvy much treated of in this our age and many Medicines prescribed for it yet too often are other Distempers taken for it by reason of the similiariness of their Symptoms though the Causes are quite contrary by which both Physician and Patient are deceived the one in Judgment and the other for want of Cure Now for those that have the real and true Scurvy this Medicine most certainly helps if duely taken every Night for a time with a draught of warm drink and an Orange squeezed in it going to Bed and lying in a breathing Sweat for two or three Hours and for those that find only some small Symptoms of this Distemper and suppose it to be growing upon them Let them likewise take this Medicine every Night as aforesaid for a time and it will prevent the Scurvy for ever coming to its strength and vigour as sufficiently hath been proved For the Gout those that would be preserved from it let them take this Medicine two or three times a Week at Nights with any warm thing after it and they shall never be troubled with it but those that are already much afflicted with it may please to repair to us for further Directions and more particular Order in this Medicine and they may find certain Cure as many have done though it be a Cure difficult and in this Nation not fully known FINIS
