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

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
