before hydrophobie For that hauing once gotten the possession most men are of opinion that all physicke commeth to late Now concerning the gouernement and dyet of the bitten bodie it is thought best to lodge him in a chamber that is hot and very lightsome for the better euocation of the spirits and blood to the outward parts of the body and neuer suffer him to be alone but accompanied if it may bee w●●h such as with pretty pleasing tales and merry iests or instruments of musicke or both are able to giue refreshment to his dulled spirits Let no means be vsed to put him in feare nor to make him sorrowfull His diet must be in a mediocritie neither very plentifull nor slender Emptinesse or want of eating encreaseth the euill qualitie of humours which is a very pernitious thing in any malignant vlcer He may eat of veale mutton hens chickens or capons flesh and such other as breed good iuyce being seasoned with the iuice of orenges limmons citrons which he may eat by themselues also And the powders of tormentill pimpinella mary-golds borrage and such other like herbes very good to strawe or sprinkle vpon his meat Rabbi Moyses forbiddeth the eating of pigeons because saith he they be very exceeding hurtfull for such as be thus affected through a speciall property of substance in them But contrariwise he commendeth the mutton or flesh of rams though it breed but bad iuyce for that it hath a secret property to do good in this infirmitie All writers with one consent approue and counsell the vse and eating of fresh water crabfishes for the natiue inbred propertie they haue against the poyson of this malady as often experience hath proued Creuises also boiled in good wine are approued Paulus Aegineta aduiseth that such meat and drinke should chiefly be vsed as is of force to dull and extinguish the strength and working of the poison and keepe it from spreading it selfe through the bottome of the stomacke both which properties hee saith are performed by drinking of pure wine that is sweet and old or by drinking of milk and eating of garlicke onyons or leekes Aetius approueth the eating of garlicke and such other sharpe and hot meats in the beginning but not after least the poyson thereby might become more forcible but he forbiddeth the drinking of wine Neuerthelesse most writers doe esteeme it very medicinable to drinke strong wine at the very beginning as wel as to eat hot and sharpe meats And some like of grosse and slimie meats also that by encreasing of obstructions may the better hinder the piercing of the poyson to the principall parts But after fiue or fix daies be past from the beginning then will it be best to reduce all to mediocritie as was sayd before and forbeare very hot meats and drinkes Then will it be good to vse drinke of meane strength in which are steeped the leaues of pimpinella that is burnt and the flowers of marygolds A Iulep also made of firupe of cichorie and the decoction of sorrell and barly is good to drinke This Iulep following is very goodalso to vse Take of the iuyce of limmons and citrons each halfe an ounce of the iuice of sower pomgranates two ounces sorrell water and rose water each an ounce spring water boyled as much as will suffice Make heereof a 〈◊〉 according to art of which it is good to drinke often Rost meats are not so good to be vsed as meats boised especially in some liquor that opening simples apt to procure vrine are sod in Their bread should be made of the best wheat and well leuened Of fruits they may vse walnut sigges and almons and some say that chesnuts haue a propertie to doe good Let such as accompanie the sicke at their meat take heed they can not of any meat they haue tasted And some thinke it dangerous also to drinke in the cup or glasse that they drinke in except it be first very well washt The vse of vineger and sower fruits or herbes is thought good Some admonish the bitten body not to touch the cornell tree nor rest within the shadow of it or the tree called Sanguinaria which is the female cornell tree or shrubbe nor to sleepe vnder the sernice tree but to shunne them for the space of a whole yeere because these trees are reported to haue such a kind of propertie in them as will quickly hasten forward their madnes Sleepe especially if it be much is hurtfull till the strength of the poison be well abated or till the sicke be much distempered for want of sleepe Venerious actions should be forborne a yeere together It were very requisite that the sicke body should be kept indifferent loose or soluble all the time of his sickenes or infirmitie and to goe once or twise in a day to stoole and pisse freely if he can Now for the better dilucidation of the manner of curing this kind of maladie I thought it good heere to insert the method and meanes which Franciscus Valleriola a very learned Physitian vsed in curing one far gone toward madnes by the biting of a mad dogge This man was bitten a little aboue one of his ancles Obser lib. 3.
