A03917	Of the vvood called guaiacum that healeth the Frenche pockes, and also healeth the goute in the feete, the stoone, the palsey, lepree, dropsy, fallynge euyll, and other dyseases.; De guaiaci medicina. English	Hutten, Ulrich von, 1488-1523.; Paynell, Thomas.	1536 (1536)	STC 14025; ESTC S104331	66,421	166

noted howe be it al doth nowe knowe it that this one thynge is hit that maketh this sycknes to be verye greuous bycause there is great difficultie in dyetynge For whan this disease is ouercome it is not one onely that must be obserued in the order of our lyuynge but many thynges and dyuerse must be rekened vppon In so moche as what so euer thynges there be whether they be with or agaynst all the diseases whiche I sayde before folowed this syckenes he that is recouered must set them before hym endeuorynge him selfe with al diligence to obteyne them that make with hym and to anoyde them that be ageynst him Wherfore he must be alwayes very careful in his lyuyng that al thyng maye be done ordinatly Not with standynge if this medicine haue saued any there is for theym great comforte bycause they that are expert therof plainly thynke that after the pacientes haue ones receyued theyr helth the time of obseruation which foloweth this cure be past nothinge that is not contrary to theyr olde maner of lyuyng can putte them in any daunger soo that they vsed not before to lyue without order vtterly For that same order shal serue hym that is thus restored as shall serue theym that neuer had the sycknes Wherfore they thinke it not so moche to be regarded what a man eateth as howe moche he eateth And therfore no kynde of meate to be forborne no choise of meate to be hadde concernynge the qualitie of fedynge nothynge to be cared fore but that whiche is knowen to apperteygne to the commen conseruation of helthe and to the vniuersall auoydynge of all maladies and diseases Wherin that that Celsus teacheth perchance shall not be the leest whiche is that euerye man take hede leste whyle his bodye is in prosperitie the aydes and succour ageynst aduersite be consumed and wasted ¶ Helth is preserued as the same Celsus sayth by dyet by medicines by oyntynges by frictions and rubbynges by baynes by exercyse by caryage aboute by clere and pleasant readynge whiche thynges howe they ought to be considered fully and holle I leaue you to aske of hym Here wylle I breuely touche a fewe thynges and suche as apperteyne to dyete This I thynke they muste fede pleasauntely and moderately and take suche meates and drynkes as be of lyghtest dygestion For as Poule saythe The chiefest poynt of education is that the meate be suche as wyll lyhgtly dygeste and nourysshe well not slowe in digestynge nor clammye nor plentuous in superfluities and the drynke to be smalle wyne whyte pure and a lyttell delayde with water And Celsus saythe Se your meate be not fatty clammy nor wyndy And by his coūsell ye muste absteyne in all suche dyseases from all maner salte meates sharpe sowre and bytter For the same reason I thynke wherof I made mention before And Paule saythe In eatynge the greatteste faute is satietie and fulnes For all thoughe the bely digeste well yet the veynes to moche replenysshed labour soore they swelle they breake they be stopped and fylled with wynde and playne it is that the worst dyseases of all comme of sacie●ie He thynketh this onely to be auoyded that no man fylle him selfe And I iudge the same but not only for I wolde more ouer nothynge to be dressed deintuously nothynge to be ●auced curiously and that many dysshes of dyuerse kyndes be not sette before vs nother wyll as these ryche menne vse sixe or .vii. or sometyme .x. messes at one soupper to be broughte in For a manne wolde not beleue howe moche these thynges hurte not onely the stomacke but also the holle digestion And therfore I wil repete again this thing whiche is spoken of the same authore Varietie of meates is greattely to be auoyded specially whan contrarye operations and vertues be in them For whan they be soo thruste in they resist digestion and the same thinketh Galene and Auicene and as many as be of pure iudgement in phisicke ¶ Cato as Tully wryteth commandeth so moche meate and drynke to be receyued as may refresshe the strength and power of the body and not oppresse it Wherfore by the counsell of Xenophon we muste make for the most parte a small dyner that there may be a place for the supper ¶ Playnly this disease is of that sorte that Galenus thynketh to come of fulnes whiche thynge is thus to be vnderstande not that I thynke all that lyueth in surfetynge streight waye to be cast into the french pockes all thoughe suche shall not escape dyseases no not most greuous but if any haue ben vexed before with them and than healed eate and drynke intemperately he must nedes fal agayne into theym And therfore the meate that is receyued let it nother be dyuerse nor moche that the stomake be not loded and dygestion letted And agayne let it be as I monysshed easye in dygestynge Plinie sayth all maner sharpe meates all that is to moche and all that is hastely receyued be harde in workynge and harder in somer than in wynter and harder in age than in youthe ¶ It is wryten in Tully he that medleth not with exquysite meates looded tables and often cuppes shal not be combred with dronkennes rawnes of stomacke or dreames But for as moch as whan this cure is done we muste prouyde howe the bodye that hath hytherto benne emptyed and made leane may be brought ageyn vnto his olde state therfore peraduenture those meates muste be vsed that increace and fyll the body not with noyfull humours but suche as Celsus reherseth in the .iii. chapter of the fyrste boke ¶ Plinie also sayth The bodies growe and increace with sweate and fatte meates and with drynke they diminisshe and go downe with drye leane and colde meates thurst But this muste be wysely vnderstande for those thynges whiche I haue often before monysshed But seinge Galenus warnethe vs in all thynges to take hede to the bealy For what so euer sayth he is corrupted in that it is a cause of rot vnto al the body and so of diseases I thynke it best to take those drynkes and meates as Celsus teachethe which do both noryshe make the bely soft ¶ But if any through the dyuelles prouocation fyll hym selfe and lode his stomake with meate more than it is able to beare if he lyste to seke helpe by slepe let him here Plinie saying To dygest in slepe it maketh more for the corpulentes than the strengthe of the body And therfore the phisytions wolde haue the great fat wrastlers to make theyr digestion by walkynge But if he had leauer ease hym selfe by vomyt as many do counsell and Paule specially teacheth for throughe vomytes many euyls oftentymes haue ben stopped and withstande lette him rede his doctrine shewynge howe one maye lyghtly vomyt And if nother of these be regarded or to late proued than peraduenture he muste go to phisike whervnto if the sycke be compelled I can gyue hym none other commaundement but

euen the same whiche I haue oftentymes spoken that he commytte hym self● to a sober and lerned phisition or to a well experte rather than to one that is of high exquisite lernynge and to hym that powreth in no medicines but of very constrainte ye and those medicines that be symple and not compowned and mingled with many thynges and as moche as maye be ministreth the thynges of our owne countrey growyng and not thynges farre fette And if suche a phisition counsell you to take a laske than see ye remembre that whiche Paule teacheth whiche is that ye do it not ofte lefte through often prouokyng nature forgette the office of clensing of the body of her owne motion ¶ As concernynge meates whiche be holsome and whiche vnholsomme and howe euery kynde of meates helpeth or hurteth excepte a man declare it to the vttermost it were better speake nothynge therof And therfore I wolde haue the authors redde as Celsus whiche entreateth shortly of the kyndes of meates And Paulus which handleth at large in .xxiiii. chapters the natures and vertues of meates or els Galenus whiche by hym selfe is sufficient for al pretermyttynge nothynge in the bokes of nourysshementes And so wolde I nowe haue made an ende of feadynge if there had not chaunced to come to my mynd certaine thinges worthy to be noted And fyrste I wyll admonysshe you of egges There is noo meate sayth Plini lyke egges that nourissheth in syckenes and lyethe not heuy and that is in stede of wyne and meate bothe And Auicene affirmeth that the yolkes of egges of a henne of a partrige or of a phesaunte do passe all meates for theym that haue theyr bloude diminished or their harte faynted Alexander Aphrodisius thynkethe that it conteyneth in it selfe the qualites of all the elementes and to conclude there is in an egge a certayne shewe of the worlde Bothe bycause it is made of the foure elementes and agayne bycause it is gathered rounde in spere fascion And hathe a lyuely power Egges fryed manye doo forbydde amonge the whiche are Paulus and Galenus And dothe not alowe the foode of herbes And many other do forbyd the same at thoughe Marcus Cato praiseth brassicam aboue the mone He that eateth dayly his fylle of ptisana his nutrimente Galenus thynketh can by none other meates be hyndred And the same thynge wolde I saye sayth he by beanes if they fylled not with wynde Of the vse of milke both in meates and also in medicines Paule dothe entreate verye goodly Alexander saythe mylke is lyghte in digestynge and nouryssheth well For that may lyghtly go into bloudde that is made of bloudde and in a maner hit is bloud made whyte ¶ Of manye thynges I haue shewed you a few but yet he that desireth to haue helth ought saythe Paule to knowe howe great power wyne hathe And the same saythe if wyne frete any man he muste drynke colde water And the nexte daye drynke the iuise of wormewode and walke vpon it he must rubbe his body and wasshe it and than refresshe hym selfe with lyttell meate Wynes that were lately must and also wynes that be to olde must be auoyded sayth Galenus For these heate to moche and the other nothynge at all That fedynge sayth Paule that kepeth a man bare and sklender is moche surer for the helth thanne that whiche maketh one fat But for as moche as lyttell meate gyueth nother strength nor stedynes vnto the bodye therfore he after addethe sayinge Suche meates as are of a meane nature are the chiefe nourysshementes of all For they ingender bloudde of a meane substaunce And as suche are mooste meteste and conuenyent for our bodyes soo be they that brynge forth yll humours most noyful and therfore muste they alwayes be auo●ded This saythe Paule And he teachethe more ouer that rye breadde nourysshethe more than all other and that weaten bread is of harde dygestyon and wyndy and that barly breade is of lyttell strengthe He that wyll knowe the vttermooste of fedynge let hym rede this Paule and Galenus as I sayde we in this countrey neuer vsed annointynges in Italy they haue vsed them but nowe they be al mooste leste And Galene commendethe rubbynges of the body aboue all thynges inculcatynge oftentymes and many thynges therof and specially in his bokes of preseruynge helthe And the same doth Asclepiades hyghly auance and Hipocrates also very greatly whose saying this is whiche was after hym repeted of many Throughe rubbynge if it be vehement the body is made harde if it be softe and easye the body is made softe if it be moche it diminisheth if it be meane it fylleth ¶ In our days that high lerned man Erasmus Roterodamus vsynge thus dayly and specially in the mornynge at his vprysynge thinketh therby that he preserueth his helth the weakenes of his body whiche is verye great not withstandynge And hathe warned me diligently that aboue all other thinges I and all other studentes shulde vse the same I folowe the counsell of my frende and fynde ease therin Some ●orbidde wasshynges and all maner bathes and they say that they be vnholsom for all such as be recouered from this disease I thynke bycause they mollifie the sinowes and lose them and therfore they wyll not that water shoulde touch thē yet they do not sauing for that improue sweatynges water hurteth the synowes though it be warme sayth Alexāder not bycause it is warme but bycause hit is moyst Paule commending warme washyng sayth thus It taketh away werynes it shaketh downe fulnes it heateth it mitigateth it mollifieth it disperseth it prouoketh slepe and maketh all the body fatte And is very commodious and agreable both to man and woman yonge and olde so sayth Paule Not withstandynge the Italianes nowe a dayes washe not but very seldome wherof I doo not meruayll seinge in tymes past they vsed it dayly as wrytynge testifieth and also the tokens of the bates remaynynge at Rome whiche were buylded lyke vnto cities ¶ In exercises Galene teacheth that mesure muste be kepte and obserued sayinge Immoderatnes I reproue euery where He lykewyse sayth As exercise before meate is the chiefest thynge to preserue hel●h so is al maner motion after meate most noyful For the meate is scatered out of the bely before it be digested and therfore gadreth manye grosse rawe humours in the veines wherof al maner diseses are wonte to be ingendred Paule auyseth vs so longe to exercise our selfe vntyll the body begynne to swel waxereed our motions strong equal and easye and the swette seme to be myxed with vapour than fyrste to reste whanne any of these begynne to chaunge They monysshe also to gyue reste and quietnesse vnto that membre whiche was lately restored to helthe And Hipocrates sayth The remedye of the foote is reste Wherof Alexāder gathereth that that which is heled again must nedes haue rest For motion sayth he causeth flowynges of the superfluous matter whiche maye reyse and styre vp inflamatiō The

Guaiacū Wherfore this I thynke that sommer at the lefte wayes in Almayne maye be beste taken but that is that part of sommer that begynneth whanne vere endeth as in May for than there is not here soo moche heate but the sycke maye well abyde and suffer thyrst And in wynter the cold is very feruente and lykewyse in vere and Autumpne the colde is sharper thanne the sycke maye abyde in this cure For it is one of the chiefe poyntes for hym that is restored by Guaiacum with all diligence to eschewe colde And as for suche incommodities as maye happen in the sommer to the intente they maye the lesse be feared I haue spoken of before and shal repete them agayne whan place shal be And neuertheles at this tyme I do affirme that this drynke of Guaiacū doth meruaylously stere vp the naturall power and strengthe and hathe power and myght to quicken and to make lusty the bodye whiche for lacke of naturall heate is weake and consumed Whiche thynges if they were not as I haue sayde and had not Hipocrates in a certayne place if I well remembre me sayde that Vere and Autūne are the moste aptest tyme● to lett● blod and minister medicines veryly the counsayll of Celsus shuld than haue sem●d beste whiche sayth Vere is the holsomest tyme to go to phisike and next vnto that wynter and that is very daungerous and Autumne mooste daungerous of al. ¶ That we muste vtterly forbeare wyne and women in this cure Cap. xv ANd maye I not boldely affirme this medicine to be gyuen vs 〈◊〉 god seynge hit neuer helpeth excepte a mā be gyuen to holynes of lyfe Verily where as we be brought into the fauour of god by two vertues specially that is by the chastite of body and abstinence of meate and drink as the lawes of chrysten people beare recorde let hym be ●ure excepte he bynde him selfe straytly in these bondes he shall nat onely come vnto this medicine in vayne but shall go forwardes also in the same with no lytell danger In so moch that it is playnly knowen that he shall dye without remedy that vseth any woman before the .xl. daye after the cure is begonne either bycause the body so emtyed is not able to suffer the iniurie of that acte or elles bycause god wyll not that any man shulde vse suche his great benefyte vnpurely And therfore amonges al them that proued this wod in Almayne it hapned one felowe to dye that through this faute as they that were present affirmed by theyr othes ¶ And nexte vnto this the vse of wyne is knowen moste pestilent and muste be auoyded in this cure For it loseth the ioyntes of the body and hurteth the sinowes And for as moche as it hath vehement power to enter into the lymmes and shake al the body it is thought that this decoction of Guaiacum shal not profyte in his body that vseth wyne but shall rather put hym in ieoperdy and feare of death whanne these thynges Guaiacum and wyne whiche are most contrary mete and come to gether Therfore some there be that monysshethe to absteyne from wyne an hoole moneth after the time of this cure is paste for so moch as this medicine kepeth his course of workynge many dayes after it is dronken And therfore lest any thynge shulde stoppe or let it they take away the vse of wyne and he that fleethe the voluptuous pleasure of the body muste take hede that he gyue no place to glotonie For the olde prouerbe witnesseth that hunger neuer begetteth adultery And agayne it is sayd that Venus waxeth cold without bread and wyne Aelian●s wrytethe that Zaleucus the lawyere of Locrense forbede sycke men wyne vnder peyue of dethe with out the phisitions coūsel But be it the nature of Guaiacum might suffer this voluptuous act and dyd not abhorre wyne yet doth the phisitions bokes with ful mouth make mentiō that they are very hurtful greuous vnto that body whiche is take with this sicknes and principally for the ioyntes Wherfore Celsus reporteth that there were some that were vexed with ache in theyr limmes whiche throughe one yeres abstinence from wyne and women haue benne safe all theyr lyfe And the same Celsus concludeth that suche as are borne chaste or be gelded or chyldren or euer they fal to womans company and lykewyse women excepte theym that haue their flowers stopped are seldom tempted with this disease And Alexander in his problemes sayth that suche as drinke water onely are quycker in all senses than other For wyne stoppeth the wayes of the mynde and dulleth the senses And Cicero sayth that for so moche as wyne profyteth the sycke but selde and hurteth very often it is moche better not to gyue it than vnder the hope of doubtfull helth to runne into open ieoperbie And Venus in what so euer state a man be coldeth the bely and dryeth it if Aristotle be true For in such coupling the naturall heate departeth and throughe the euaporation that than is made drynes is caused and ingendred ¶ Lo sobernes and chastite two holy ordynances of lyfe be the principal obseruation in this thynge the highest precept the chief poynt of helih whiche diligently kepte noo ieoperdye can ryse For be it they tarye the medicine or vtterly stoppe and lette hit yet they put not a man in ieoperdye of his lyfe whan they be neglected ¶ That salte must be eschewed in this cure Cap. xvi AMonges al the thinges that muste be auoyded somme men do meruail why salte is forbydden to be vsed for the space of this dyete consyderynge there is other tymes nothyng more holsome for mannes bodye and they say that they can not perceyue howe any hurt shuld comme therof in this disease The whiche commeth all to geter of the corruption and putryfaction of the bloudde seynge onely salte mooste of all thynges preseruethe and defendeth frome bothe these And more ouer the nature of salte is to make faste and drye vppe to bynde and clense whiche propretie were thoughte mooste metest and necessary to be ministred to plucke vppe this disease by the rotes Fyrste bycause the bodye infected with the pockes is loosed and shaken secondly bycause the humours procede and flowe out from one matter Thirdly whiche is the chiefe poynte of al bycause the corrupt and infecte blo●de is yet within the bodye vnpourged For this syckenesse is no other thynge than a certayne order state of the body changed through the trouble of the bloode Euen as it hapeneth in a ●ytie whan a sedicion partakynge entreth into a commen welthe and the cōmen people be moued in theyr myndes than are all thynges scattered abrode without order and moued out of theyr places nothynge hangeth to gether nothynge standethe nothynge abydeth no quietnes no peace but all full of trouble vnto the which chaunge of the body motion of membres and thakynge of ioyntes with all suche troubles there muste come some sadde and wyse father
