her former state doth easily overcome what remains Let us direct our aim then at this point since in my judgement any other method of Cure though it may appear never so useful will prove ineffectual for the future I do not touch upon your Diet being certain that those to whose care you have committed your health will not pretermit any occasion of either doing what is fit or omitting what is inconvenient let us proceed to remedies of these I think it will be vain for the future to continue in the use of slight ones which are usually prescrib'd more for the comfort of the Physician then the Sick which are really adiaphora or indifferent they are innocent truly but by being so they afford no help This Evil is to be pluck'd up by the Roots otherwise it will be perpetually hatching and producing a new Brood Let Vomits lead on the first and main Battle as well for their efficacious removing the filth of the first regions of the body as also to remove by their specifick efficacy from which only the Triumph and Victory over Melancholly is to be expected future impediments Of these I know none more prevalent nor of less danger than the infusion of Crocus Metallorum made in Canary Wine allowing an Ounce of this to a Pint of the Wine of which if you are easie to Vomit you may take the first time one Ounce adding of simple Oxymel half an Ounce and one Ounce of Cardus Beneditus Water if you are hard to work upon then you may take from the quantity of ten Drams to an Ounce and half of it though I think it safest to begin with a small Dose except the vehemence of the Disease perswade otherwise Vomit three or four times nay more making use of no other Medicine between but if your endeavours to Vomit prove fruitless the Stomack may be easily moved to it by drinking of Barley Water or thin Chicking Breath nay only with warm Water procure this sort of Evacuation at least three times allowing the space of two or three days between after which apply your self to Purgation beginning with Elleborat and Hypochondriack Apozems If by rubbing and pressing hard with your hands the whole Abdomen and the Hypochondries there be found pertinacious obstructions there it will be necessary then to exhibit some preparing Medicine for 7 or 8 days together which being perform'd the Purgation of the humour is to be administer'd again If there be any occasion to open a Vein from which nevertheless I expect little benefit let the Physician that is present take care of that I note this one thing to you that I prefer the opening of an inferiour Vein in the Malleoli or Ancles rather then a superiour in the Arms unless there be somewhat else that hinders it The Body being thus conveniently Evacuated the whole business of the Cure is to be directed to the use of Steel in this Cure the chief Medicine There are three Weeks at least to be imploy'd about the foresaid general praescripts and in the mean time care must be had of that intense dryness of your Tongue which is so troublesome to you which I hope in a small time will be dissipated from which no great danger is threaten'd so that care be took that the Body be cleansed from those hot dry and vitriolick juices of the nature of Canker of Brass which doth enduce this intense and unsatisfy'd thirst in which case there is great relief found in the opening the Veins situate under the Tongue by which the heat of the Lungs and Heart is allay'd and the Brain effectually discharg'd if you find the Brain to be possess'd with this matter and if you find the continual Numbness of the Members to remain together with an imbecility to move apply a great visicatory to the Nuck of the Neck and make two Issues in the topes of the Shoulders The Head being shaved put upon it Fernelius his Cataplasme or some other Epispatick Anointing the whole Back-bone every day with Balsom of Earth-worms or Batts c. And when the Weather is convenient for it go to the Baths of Borbon or Aquense which are not far from your House and use to wash your Body with them and let the whole Spine of your Back be dropt upon by these Waters I do firmly believe your Panick fears will vanish if you devote your self to the use of Steel by the virtue of which I have seen many Melancholly persons deliver'd the weakness of whose Limbs did declare that they were already Paralitick And among these a certain Maid of Honour committed to my â—…re the last year by the Queen of Bohemia who by the force of this Melancholly juice had the motion of all her Limbs took from her whom by Gods assistance I restor'd to the Queen again Merry and enjoying a firm health to the admiration of all those which had her in Cure before me in whose judgement she was afflicted with a Palsie I proceeded altogether another contrary and yet common way by the help of which she attain'd her health For 't is only old Dogs that are the best Hunters But concerning your Fistula I think it is not far from being healed if your Chyrurgion may be credited who is a most expert man to whom which you before desired me to do since I have lately writ there is no need that I take up my pen again that he may be further satisfy'd of my kindness Outward Remedies are needless for the future but lest I should seem to be wanting in my Care and Friendship if there is any thing needful to dry and confirm the Cicatrice use the Balsom of Sulphur of which you have heard me spake often which will supply the place of all other Medicines which are fit for the part affected you may apply Emplastrum Diasulphuris to the part which since it needs some detersion and cleansing upon that account it is convenient to use the solution of Crollius his Lapis Mirabilis or another according to my judgement of equal efficacy consisting of pure Bole-Armenick White Vitriol and Camphor prepar'd according to Art or you may well use the Mercurial Water described by Hartman made of Mercury sublimate freed from its corrosive Spirits by Tynne according to Art When the fear of a Palsie shall be dissipated and the humour bred in the Hypochondries overcome and cut off also when it shall only remain to imploy our endeavours that the Cure of the Fistula be made firm and undoubted And that the birth of the same germinating kind of Ulcers in those lower parts subject to corruption may be prevented then the use of Mercurial Medicines taken inwardly will be seasonable which in convenient time and place shall be prescribed to you with necessary cautions as also certain other exsicating Medicines taken from the Classes of Minerals and these such as promote a Diaphoresin or transpiration at the pores whose power and faculty is to discuss malignant vapours and

COUNCEL the Fifth In the same disaffections of the Hypochondries for the same Noble Councellor at Law Sent into France MY last Letters gave you a large account how to make use of the Steel which as I suppose is the chief and apt remedy to recover your health it only remains that I send it to you ready prepar'd which I now do you are to receive seventeen Ounces weight of the Syrup which that it may be temper'd and fitted to be used according to the rule laid down in my former Letters take order to have this following Syrup carefully made Take sweet smelling Apples commonly call'd Queen Apples with short Stalkes as many as you please cut away their rind afterwards draw a water from them in a double Vessel in a boiling Balneo Maria till you have got a sufficient quantity pour the foresaid water upon the rinds which have been first laid upon a Table until they are almost dry add to them new Lemon peels cut small distil this Water again by a Body of Belvee Earth or Tin or so that the Distiller may carefully avoid the breaking of the Vessel in a large glass Alimbeck and head of the same Metal put into the inward part of the spout of the Alimbeck a Nodule or little Bag made with fine Linen and fill'd with half a Dram of Ambargreece and six grains of Mosck put the Vessel into a Kettle of Water filled with Hay or Saw-dust Make the joining of the Body Head and Reciver fast with Lute or Paste made of Meal Quick-lime and the White of an Egg draw a Water from this by distillation in which with a gentle heat dissolve as much white Sugarcandy ground to a fine powder as it can possibly contain to make it of the consistance of a Syrup of which take exactly twenty three Ounces dilute and mix it with that quantity of the prepar'd Steel which I send to you which is sufficient for you to use threescore days which is the time prefix'd by me This Syrup is included in an Earthern Bottle well stopt and sealed with my own Seal which Note least it be chang'd I would willingly have sent you the whole prepar'd but that the price of the carriage would have been insufferable keep this as a Treasure for the recovery of your health which perhaps you will not attain too in the place you now dwell in take it all leaving no remainder of it I wish I were nearer you for my presence would conduce much for the right use of so great a Remedy although you cannot want expert directers when you shall be in that vast City of Paris Give me an account of the success chiefly if the desire of recovering your perfect health shall call you home and hinder you from expecting the Spring which assists the efficacy and operation of Medicines As to the swelling behind your Ear it is a thing of difficulty and for the most part eludeth the force of Medicines I hardly think you are in that condition now that upon the account of that you need my advice since I imagine this grief of yours is already past the declination but if there do remain any stubborn hardness let that be overcome by some Mercurial Remedies which will advance the power of other Medicines and efficaciously overcome the hardness I do often make use of them and I do find if all hope of suppuration be gone yet these do so rarifie the humours that nature is able to dissolve that humour that was congeal'd into the form of perfect Matter This besides other Experiments happen'd in two Pestilential Tumours of which one was under the Arm-pit they retain'd their hardness for six weeks though the Malignity was extinct yet by the help of Mercurial Remedies they were brought to a happy suppuration COUNCEL the Sixth In the same Disease for the same Gentleman IN convenient time as the next Spring a little after the Equinox the general praescripts being before made use of and by them the peccant juices carefully prepar'd and evacuated then exhibit the Chalybeat Medicine Continue the use of it according as it ageees with you for threescore days observing necessary cautions Wherefore let this number of days be so divided that there be exhibited of our Steel Syrup two Drams for six days three Drams for as many days four for xii days five for xii days more six for eight days together seven for eight days eight for eight days let it be given in any grateful Liquor whether it be in Clarified Whey the water of Apples of Fumaterry Burrage Baume or thin Capon Broath Wine small Beer c. or in the Restorative Water of which mention is made in what follows After the taking of the Medicine you must walk or use some other gentle exercise by which the body may be moderately warm'd without procuring sweat but forbear Dinner for four hours which may be sufficiently large according to your Appetite and the disposition of your Stomack easily to concoct meat of good juice But let your Supper be sparing not cramming in Meat before the former Food be digested let your ordinary Drink be Oligophorick Wine that is such as will bear but little water of a Brick colour or a Flesh colour very well

COUNCEL the Ninth In a case of a Caruncle in the Yard For a Noble Person The Description of the Disease THe Noble N. is of an excellent habit of Body strong and now is past the 37 th year of his age and is by Nature of a hot and dry temper When more then xij years ago he had contracted a Gonorrhea by immoderate and too violent Copulation and had been afflicted with it for some time he relateth that a certain Night in the act of carnal Copulation he had a large efflux of pure blood instead of Seed From the beginning and truly for many years since out of modesty he concealed his Disease and almost quite neglected it by degrees there followed upon it a difficulty of Urine which for all that was sometimes more violent at other times more remiss according to his Diet and Exercise But in the mean space for many years this Patient could scarce ever make water without difficulty and heat and in the time of making Urine he felt also pain almost in every part of his Yard and a Branny substance did often appear in his Urine and doth also still appear he voids his Urine not in a strait line but sometime on one hand and sometimes on the other also for many years there hath continually distilled by his Yard a certain purilent matter but without pain and sometimes though not often after the excretion of Urine there hath follow'd a drop or two of Blood Though his pleasure in Copulation be less then it was formerly yet nevertheless he-hath many Children by his Wife Moreover when the last Summer by reason of publick business and that of great moment he rode Post a very great journey on Horseback the disaffected part was so bruised and rubb'd and also the grief was so exasperated that all the Symptoms which I have related were wonderfully increased wherefore about the end of the Month of September at which time I was call'd to him I purg'd him divers times with Cholagogs and the Patient used a Semicupe or half Bath as also I exhibited by 〈◊〉 the Syrup of Violets and Marsh-mallows with the water of the Opening Roots that it might be as it were a vehicle to the Syrup I commanded the Perinaeum to be â—…inted with an anodine liniment and the â—…ins twice every day with a refrigerating Ointment which Medicines were not made use of without advantage his pain abated and he began to make Water with less difficulty when therefore all things were safe for I knew nothing yet of the Caruncles or that it was a Disease inveterate I did hope that I might return to my own Family and what was further to be done I left to the Patient and his Domesticks to perform Not long after my going away when the Disease began to renew it self again there was another Physician call'd in to advise He again purged his Body with Cholagogs and with Syrup of Violets and Marsh-mallows he exhibited also with great success Emulsions made with the greater cold Seeds and sweet Almonds when I was call'd again the pain still continuing the sick person then discover'd to us that it was a Disease of long standing it was agreed upon then by us that I should search with a Probe and a Catheter what was at the bottom of this grief or what was its cause Wherefore the Body being re-purged with Cholagogs composed of the compound Syrup of Roses solutive together with the Electuary of the juice of Roses and the Catheter being put in I found Caruncles in divers places chiefly towards the left side of the Urinary passage which Caruncles do even now so stop up the passage and are so painful that to this very time he could not search farther then the half way of his Yard neither with the Catheter nor with the Syringe or could the Patient Probe or feel any further with wax Candles which instruments and Medicines he hath hitherto applyed to himself with his own hands therefore I could not hitherto make any Medicine reach any farther though I doubt not that a great part of the Distemper nay the root of the Disease is hid in the Prostatas For if the Urinary passage was exulcerated from the long continuance of that Gonorrhea and the Caruncles grew from that occasion how much more reasonably may we suspect the disaffection and exulceration of those Glandules Moreover the pain although obscure which the Noble Patient did feel more then two months since about his Fundament as I shall declare afterwards did denote some kind of Grief to be lodged there for truly as Hippocrates and Experience cause us to believe Ubi dolor ibi morbum esse where there is pain there the Disease is His Urine also the last Autumn did many times flow from him against his will and that whilst he slept without doubt by reason of the Sphincters being hurt which doth immediately adjoin to those Glandules and the great pain which the Patient did suffer heretofore proceeded from the Sympathy that part hath with the Prostatas The Urinary passages being searched and the Caruncles being discovered we applyed two Bags composed of emollient resolving and pain easing Roots Herbs Flowers and Seeds and we anointed the whole Perinâ—…um with an anodinus and Emollient â—…iniment As also we injected an Emollient decoction with a Syringe into the Urinary passage But as I said before the Pipe of the Syringe could never be admitted deep enough by reason of
