If from too great a quantity of Blood a sleepy Disease is feared the Patient must be sufficiently Blooded and the utmost endeavours must be used to make the Hemorrhoids flow than which nothing can be more advanâ—agious Purging must be also ordered to prevent a Relapse Take of the Pill of Amber and of the lesser Coeh each two scruples of the best Castor six grains of Oyl of Amber a sufficient quanty mix them make 12 Pills take six for a Dose and the other six three days after Or take my Pills which are excellent in these diseases After Purging let the Sick use the following Medicine Take of the Conserves of the Flowers of Male-Peony and of Rosemary each one Ounce of the Bark of Citron Candied â—â—x drams of the Species call'd Diambra aud Dianâ—bos each one dram of Castor Powdered two scruples of compound Spirit of Lavender half a dram with a sufficient quantity of the Syrups of Gilly-flowers and of compound peony make an Electuary Give the quantity of a Nutmeg Morning and Evening daily and let the Sick take two spoonfuls of Black cherry-Cherry-water and ten drops of my Cephalic Tincture Morning and Evening presently after the use of the Electuary Take of Amber Powdered one ounce sprinkle the fourth part of it upon the Head every night at Bed time Chap. II. Of Bleeding at Nose Bleeding at the Nose comes at any time of the Year and afflicts those chiefly that are weakly and of a very hot Constitution and more frequently when they are Old than when they are Young In this Case you must do all you can to restrain the violent heat and ebullition of the Blood from whence arises the said unusual Extravasation and to turn the fore of it another way To which end Bleed often in the Arm and take away Blood freely order also a Cooling and Thickening Diâ— as three parts of fountain-Fountain-water and one of Milk boyled together and drank Cold roasted Apples Barly Broaths and such like things as are made without Flesh order the Sick to keep from Bed for some time daily and give a gentle cooling Glister every day and let it not be once omitted Give also a draught made of half an ounce of Diacodium and cowslip-Cowslip-water at Bed time to quell the fury of the Blood but because a sharp humour often accompanies Bleeding at Nose and the like which being mingled with the Blood furthers it's motion and opens the Orifices of the Veins besides revulsion and cooling I usually give the following Purging potion when the Disease is even at it's height Take of Tamarinds half an ounce of sena two drams of Rhubarb one dram and an half Boyl them in a suffâ—cient quantity of water to three ounces of the strained Liquor add of Manna and Syrup of Roses solutive each one ounce make a Potion and after it has done working I give at Bed time a draught made of two ounces of water of Red Popies and one ounce of Diacodium and when the Bleeding is gone quite off I give the Patient some purging potion again As to outward Applications a Linnen Bolster dipt in cold Water wherein Sal prunella has bin disolved may he applyed to the Nape of the Neck and to both the sides of it often in a day and after Bleeding and Purging the following Liquor may be used Take of Hungarian Vitriol and Allom each one ounce of Flegm of Vitriol half a Pint Boyl them till all is dissolved filter the Liquor when it is cold and seperate it from the Cristals that sometimes rise To the remaining Liquor add a twelfth part of Oyl of Vitriol And put a tent dipt in this Liquor into the Nostril from whence the Blood flows and keep it in two days Rags moistened in this Liquor and applyed stop Blood from what parts soever it flows Spitting of Blood which betwixt Spring and Summer befalls weakly People of a hot Constitution whose Lungs are infirm and rather Young People than Old is almost of the same nature with the Bleeding at the Nose and requires almost the same Method of Cure only it will not bear Purging by which especialy if repeated the sick is apt to fall into a Consumption but Bleeding used often a Glifter injected every day a draught made of Dâ—a odium taken at Bed-time and a Dyet thickening and cooling will do the Business effâ—ctually Chap. III. Of Vomiting of Blood VOmiting of Blood from what cause soever it arises is very dangerous for if too great a quantity of Blood be evacuated their is danger of Death if it coagulate in the Stomack and corrupt there it occasions â—ainting It must be cured by Medicines that cause a Reâ—ulsion of the Blood from the Stomach and by such as attemperate it and stop the opening of the Veins And first because an orderly Diet is of great use in this case the common Diet ought to be astringent and cooling as Barley-broths Almond and Rice diet Water-gruel and especially Starch boiled in Milk whereunto may be added a little Rose-water hard Eggs may be also used dipt in Vinegar also Bread dipt in Water and Chicken Broath with Wood-sorrel Purslain and Plantian boyled in it But at the beginning of eating some astringent things should be taken as a Quince baked under the ashes Medlars or the like Let the Sick abstrain from all Salt Pepper'd and Fryed Meats and also from such things as yield a great deal of nourishment unless the Weakness of the Sick requires that they should be taken sparingly He must drink but little and when he does it must be Water wherein iron has bin quenched with a little juice of Lemon in it The Sick must not expose himself to the Winds nor to the rays of the Sun he must Sleep moderately and his Body must be kept open Bleeding must be used sparingly and it must be repeated The Members must be rubbed and bound and cleansing Glisters must be injected Cupping-glases must be applyed to the Buttocks Legs and Loins Let two spoonfuls of Vinegar and Water mixed be given if there be a suspition of clotted Blood for by the use of it it may be easily disolved and driven from the Veins of the Stomach and they will be stop'd thereby foment the Region of the Stomach also with it cold Let the Sick take Morning and Evening four ounces of the juice of Plantain cold Take of old Conserve of Roses and of Comfry Roots each one ounce of Marmalade of Auinces half an ounce one Myrobalane candied troches of Amber and Lemnian earth each two drams of coral prepared and of Saffron of Mars each one dram with Syrup of dryed Roses make an Electuary and let the Sick take the quantity of a Nutmeg Morning and Evening Troches of Amber do not only bind but also disolve clotted Blood and therefore are frequently to be used Tincture of Coral made with the juice of Lemons is also very good But when the Blood is evacuated violently and cannot be stoped by the
Miscarriage are the same which accompany Women duly brought to Bed The Preservation from Miscarriage consists principally in these two things the one concerns the Woman before she is with Child and the other when she is with Child Before the Woman is with with Child all Indispositions of the Body which are wont to cause Miscarriage must be removed as fullness of Blood ill Humours and peculiar Diseases of the Womb. If the Woman be too full of Blood when she is with Child she must be Blooded in the first Months twice or thrice if need be but much Blood must not be taken away at a time and if she be troubled with abundance of ill Humours gentle Purging must be repeated especially in the middle Months in the mean while astringent and strengthening Medicines must be used all the time the Woman is with Child Take of Conserve of Roses two Ounces of Citron Peel Candied six Drams of Myrobalans Candied and of the Pulp of Dates each half an Ounce of Coral prepaâ—ed Pearl prepared and Shavings of Harts-horn each one Dram with Syrup of Quinces make an Electuaery of which let the Woman take the quantity of a Nutmeg every other Night at Bed time But that the success of this Medicine may be good the Woman must keep her self as quiet both in Body and Mind as possibly she can and abstain from Coition But if by reason of the vehemency of the Cause whither Internal or External the Woman is ready to Miscarry you must do the best you can with the following Remedies And in the first place so soon as the Pain shall be perceived in the lower parts of the Belly we must endeavour to allay them both by Medicines taken inwardly and outwardly applyed for if Miscarriage be caused by Crudities and Wind which is most usual when it begins from an inward Cause a Powder must be given made of Aromaticum Rosatum and Coriander Seeds give of each half a Dram or three or four Spoonfuls of Dr. Stephen's Water if Flegm and Wind abound at the same time let carminative Medicine be applyed below the Woman's Navel such are Bags oâ— Anniseeds Fennel Seeds Fenugreek Seeds Flowers of Camomile Elder Rosemary and Stechas mixed together oâ— a Rose Cake fryed in a Pan with Rich Canary and sprinkled with Powder of Nutmegs and Coriander Seeds if by these means the Pains cease not inject a Glyster made of Winâ— and Oyl wherein halfe an Ounce of Venice Treacle must be dissolved and after the Glyster is come away you musâ— give sixteen of my Cordial Drops in a Spoonful of Stephen's Water But if Blood begins to come away you must Bleed immediatly and rub the upper Parts and tye thâ— Members and if the Flux of Blood continues give twâ— Ounces of the Juice of Plantain sweetened with an Ounce 〈◊〉 Syrup of Poppies to which add one Scruple of Bolearmeniâ—â— and apply hot a little bag full of Red Roses and Balaustineâ— Boyl'd in Smiths Water and Red Wine to the Womans Belly Chap. XII Of an immoderate Flux of the Courses AN immoderate Flux of the Courses invades either iâ— Child-bed or at other times as to the first that afflicts Women most on the first Days after a difficult Labour and is accompanined with a long train of Hysteriâ—â— Symptoms and as it happens only on the first Days so usâ—ally it do's not last long for if a thickning Diet be oâ—dered it soon abates The following Drink may be all used Take of Plantane Water and Red Wine each one Pint boyl them till a third part is consumed sweeten it with a sufficient quantity of White Suger let the Woman take half a Pint of it twice or thrice a Day But as to the Flux which happens out of Child-bed tho' it befalls Women at any time yet most commonly it invades a little before the time they leave them namely when they are about Forty five Years of Age if they have them Young and about Fifty if it were late before they begun to have them and by reason of the great quantity of Blood which is continually evacuated they are almost continually afflicted with Vapours In order to the Cure you must bleed in the Arm and eight Ounces of Blood must be taken away the next Morning the following Purge must be given Take of Tamarinds half an Ounce of Sena two Drams of Rhubarb one Dram and an half infuse them in a sufficient quantity of Fountain Water and in three Ounces of the strained Liquor Dissolve of Manna and Syrup of Roses Solutive each one Ounce make a Purging Potion which must be taken thrice three Days betwixt each Purge and every Night at Bed time through the whole course of the Disease twelve of my Cordial Drops must be taken in two Spoonfuls of small Cinnamon Water or the like Take of the Conserve of dryed Roses two Ounces of the Troches of Lemnian Earth one Dram and an half of Pomgranate Pill and red Coral prepared each two Scruples of Blood-Stone Dragons Blood and Bolearmenick each two Scruples with a sufficient quantity of simple Syrup of Coral make an Electuary whereof let her take the quantity of a large Nutmeg in the Morning and at Five in the Afternoon drinking upon it six Spoonfuls of the following Julep Take of the Waters of Oak Bud and of Plantain each three Ounces of Cinnamon Water hordeated and of Syrup of dried Roses each one Ounce of Spirit of Vitriol a sufficient quantity to make it pleasantly acid Take of the Leaves of Plantain and of Nettles each a sufficient quantity beat them together in a Stone Mortar and press out the Juice Clarifie it and give six Spoonfuls of it cold three or four times in a Day After the first Purge apply the following Plaster to the Loins Take of Diapalma and of the Plaster for tuptures each equal parts mix them and spread them upon Leather A cooling and thickening Diet must be ordered and a Glass of Claret may be allowed once or twice a Day to recover the strength This Method may be also used to prevent Miscarriages but the Juices and Purges must be omitted Chap. XIII Of a suppression of the Childbed Purgations THere is so great a Flux of Humours from all parts to the Womb when a Woman is with Child and during the Commotion in her Labour that in case there be not afterwards sufficient evacuation of them the Woman is in great danger of very ill Accidents and sometimes of Death it self because these Humours corrupted by their stay there will certainly cause a great Inflamation and this is the reason why the suppression of these Childbed Purgations is one of the worst and most dangerous Symptoms which can befall a Woman after Delivery especially if they be wholly and suddenly stopt the first three or four Days which is the time they should come down plentifully for then follow an accute Fever great pains in the Head Pains in the Breast Reins and Loyns Suffocation of the
believe that the By-standers may hear the found of the Heart thumping upon the Ribs This chiefly afflicts those that are of a thin Habit of Body and of a Weak constitution and also Young Maids that havâ— the Green-sickness Sometimes the Patient Choughs without intermission but brings up nothing this chiefly invades Women thaâ— abound in Flegm Sometimes rushing violently upon the Belly the Vapours occasion violent pain much like the twisting of thâ— Guts and the Woman Vomits exceedingly this chieflâ— seizes those that are of a lax and crude Habit of Body and those that have suffered much in bringing forth great Children When the Vapours fall upon one of the Kidneys they plainly represent by the pain they cause there a Fit like that of the Stone nor is the Bladder free from them â—or sometimes they do not only cause pain there but also â—â—op the Urine just as if there were a Stone but this kind â—â—izing the Bladder very seldom happens that which reâ—embles the Stone in the Kidneys is not so rare Sometimes falling upon the Stomach they cause aâ—ontinual Vomiting and sometimes a Loosness when they are settled upon the Guts And as the Vapours afflict almost all the Inner parts so sometimes they seize also the outward parts and occasion pain and sometimes Swellings in the Jaws Shoulders Hands Thighs Legs nor can the Teeth free themselves from the assaults of Vapours tho' they are not hollow at these pains and swellings which afflict the outward parts chiefly seize those Women that are in a manner quite 〈◊〉 out by a long series of Vapours and by the force of them But among all the Torments the Vapours occasion there 〈◊〉 none so common on as a Pain in the Back and this is worth observing that often a notable Cold of the outward parts makes way for these Fits of the Vapours which for the most part does not go off till the Fitt ends and moreover all Women troubled with Vapours complain of a dejection and sinking of the Spirits Lastly every one knows that Women troubled with Vapours sometimes Laugh excessively and sometimes Cry as much without any real cause for either But among all the Symptoms that accompany Vapours this is the most proper and almost inseperable namely an Urine as clear as Rock Water and this Women in Vapours evacuate plentifully and it sometimes happens that they belsh up ill fumes as often as they eat tho' they eat only Moderately and according as they have an Appetite and sometime the Wind that comes from the Stomach is as sower as Vinegar Nor are they unhappy only for that their Bodies are so ill affected and as it were tottering like ruined Houses just about to fall for their Minds are more diseased that their Bodies and an incurable Desperation is mixed with the very nature of their Disease and what the Roman oratoâ— said of the Superstitious exactly agrees with these Melancholy People Sleep says he seems to be a refuge for the Laborious and Careful but from thence cares and fears arise whilst only Funerals and Apparitions of their Deceased Friends are represented in Dreams and they are so tormented in Body and Mind that one would think their Lives were a Purgatory wherein they were to purifie themselves and to expiat Crimes committed in some other State Nor does this happen only to mad people but also to those who if you except these Impetuosities of Mind are very prudent and judicious and who much excell for deep thought and wisdom of Speech others whose minds were never excited by these provokments to thinking But this dreadful condition of Mind which I have above described seizes only those that have much and a long while conflicted with this Disease and have been at length wholly vanquished by it especially if adversity Care oâ— Trouble of mind or the like joined with an ill Habit oâ— Body have added Oyl to the Flame In order to the cure let eight ounces of Blood be taken from the Right Arm and the following Plaister applyed to the Navel Take of Galâ—anum dissolved in Tincture of Castor and stâ—ained three drams of Tacamahaca two drams mix them make a Plaister The next Morning let her make use of the following Pills Take of the Pill coch Major two Scruples of Castor powdered two Grains of peruvian Balsam four drops make four Pills Let her take them at five in the Morning and sleep after them Repeat them twice or thrice every Morning or every other Morning according to their operation and the strength of the Patient After the purging Pills are taken she must take two of my Pills for Vapours early in the Morning and at five in the Afternoon for thirty dayes drinking after them Morning and Evening three spoonfuls of compound Brâ—ony-water and so the Vapours are most commonly Cured â—nd most obstructions in Women especially the Green-sickness and also all suppressions of the Courses Tuâ—bridge-waters are also very proper for the Cure of these Diseases and Riding abroad in the Air if the Woman has Strength to bear it When a Fit of the Vapours seizes any Woman suddenly you must hold to her Nostrils Assafaetida Galbanum Castor Spirit of Salarmoniae or the like and give inwardâ—y ten drops of Spirit of Hartshorn in three spoonfuls of Compound Briony-water Chap. VII Of Twisting of the Guts THis dreadful Disease which has hitherto been accounted Mortal by almost all arises from the inâ—erted and preposterous Motion of the Guts When it appears by Glisters Vomited up and other â—â—gns that there is a twisting of the Guts you must endeavour three things First that the contrary motion of the Stomach which occasions the same motion of the Guts may be Hindred Secondly that the Intestines being Weakened by sharp Humours may be strengthened Thirdly that the Stomach and Guts may be freed from the Humours and that you may Answer these Indications you must order the Cure in the following manner First prescribe one Scruple of Salt of Wormwood in a spoonâ—ul of juice of Lemons to be taken Morning and Evening but at other times of the Day order some spoonfuls of Mint-water without Sugar or any thing else to be taken twice in an Hour and order a Live Kiâ—ling to lye always on the naked Belly but after the Pain and Vomiting has whollyceased for the space of two or three Days give one dram of the Pill Coch Major dissolved in mint-Mint-water which must be also used very often all the time of the working of the Pills to hinder the return of the Vomiting nor is the Kitling to be removed before the Patient has taken the Pills The Sick must observe a very thin Diet namely some spoonfuls of Chicken Broath must be taken twice or thrice a Day and he must keep his Bed till signs of perfect Health appear and when he is well he must persist in the use of mint-Mint-water for a long time and keep his Belly warm with Flannels doubled that there may not be a
relapse to which this Disease is more obnoxious than an other Chap. VIII Of the Stone in the Kidneys WHen any one is seized with a Fitt of the Stone setting aside all other remedies let him presently drink a Gallon of Posset drink wherein two ounces of the Roots of marsh Mallows have been boyled and let the following Glister be injected Take of the Roots of marsh Mallows and Lillies each one ounce of the Leaves of Mallows Pellitory of the Wall and of the Flowers of Camomile each one Handful of Flax and Fenugreek seeds each half an Ounce boyl them in a sufficient quantity of Water to a Pint and a half dissolve in in the strained Liquor brown Sugar and syrup of Marsh-Mallows each two ounces mingle them make a Glister As soon as he has rendred all the Posset drink by Vomiting and rejected the Glister let him take thirty of my Cordial drops in a Glass of White wine and compose himself to rest on his Bed But to prevent this Disease let him drink Acton or Richmond Waters or other Purging waters often especially when he finds a pain in his Back or heat of Urine And every Summer if his Condition will allow of it Tunbridge Waters or the like for the space of a Month or Whey for the same time when he has not an opportunity to drink these Waters Riding ou Horse Back is also very good for prevention But it is to be noted that if the Stone is too large to pass neither the Waters nor Riding are proper for some old Men have hastened their end by attempting in vain to Cure this Disease by such Remedies the Stone by this means being thurst forward when it was too big to pass If a Bloody Vrine be occasioned by the Stone in the Kidnies take two ounces and a half of Manna dissolved in a quart of Whey once a Week for some Months and when you are to Walk or Ride be sure to drink a large draught of small Beer before you go out and in the way if you stay long a broad Chap. IX Of Vomiting and Loosness call'd Cholera Morbus THis disease is easily known for there are violent Vomitings and an Evacuation of ill Humours with great difficulty and trouble by Stool there is a violent Pain of the Belly an Heart Burning Thirst a quick Pulse and often Convulsions Fainting and a Coldness of the extream Parts and such lik Symptoms which Frighten the By-standers and kill the Patient in Twenty four Hours For the Cure of this dreadful Disease proceed in the following manner boyl a Chicken in about 3 Gallons of Spring water and let the Sick drink several large Draughts of it a little warm or for want of it Posset-drink At the same time a good quantity of the Liquor will serve for several Glisters to be given successively untill all the Liquor is consumed and evacuated upwards and downwards The Filth being ejected by these means which require three or four Hours give twenty of my Cordial drops in a spoonful of Cinnamon-water or the â—ike But it must be carefully noted that if the Vomitting and Loosness continue many Hours suppose ten or twelve and the Sick is worn out so that the extream Parts â—ax cold and the use of the Liquor above mentioned has been neglected you must immediately give my Corâ—iâ—â— drops as above directed and Sixteen of them must be also given Morning and Evening daily till the Sick has recovered his Strength and Health Chap. X. Of hard Labour THat is said to be hard Labour which does not observe the due and ordinary course of Nature and longer time is spent in it and the pains are more violent than usual and the Symptoms that accompany it are more grievous Many causes may be assigned for it both external and internal the internal depend on the Mother the Womb or the Child As to the Mother the natural Weakness of the whole Body may make the Labour difficult or her Age she being too Young or too Old or it may be occasion'd by Diseases which she had with her Big-belly Leanness on two much dryness of the Body or Fat compressing the passages of the Womb or the ill-conformation of the Bones encompassing the Womb as in those that are Lame may also occasion it Wind swelling the Bowels a stone on preternatural tumour in the Bladder that presses the Womb may be the cause So may the ill Constitution of the Lungs or the parts serving respiration for the holding of the Breath is very necessary to help the exclusion of the Child As to the Womb various Diseases of it may render the Delivery difficult as Tumours Ulcers Obstructions and the like As to the Child hard Labour is occasioned when by reason it is Dead or Putrified or any way Diseased it cannot confer any thing to it's own exclusion Also when the Body or Head of it is large or when there are many so Twins most commonly cause hard Labour or when it is ill situated as when the Hands or the Feet offer first or when one Hand or Foot comes out or when it is doubled or when the Membranes break too soon so that the Water flows out and leaves the Orifice of the Womb dry at the time of exclusion Or when the Membranes are too thick so that they cannot be easily broken by the Child The external causes depend on things necessary and contingent things necessary are those which are commonly call'd non-natural so Cold and Dry air and a North wind are very injurious to Women in Labour because they bind the Body and drive the Blood and Spirits to the inner parts and they are very injurious to the Child coming from so warm a place Hot weather also dissipates the Spirits and weakens the Child Crude meats and such as are difficulty Concocted and those that bind taken in a great quantity before Labour render it difficult the Stomach being weakened and the common passages contracted which ought to be very open in this Case Drowsiness hinders the Action of the Mother and Child and shews that nature is Weak The unseasonable motion of the Woman much retards the Delivery as when she refuses upon occasion to Stand Walk Lye or Sit or flings her self about unadvisedly so that the Child cannot be Born the right way being turned preposterously by the Restlesness of the Mother The retention of such things as should be evacuated at the time of Labour as of Urine that swells the Bladder or excrements in the right Gut the Pâ—â—es also much swelled narrow the Neck of the Womb and so hinder natures endeavours Lastly violent Passions of the mind as â—ear Sorrow and Anger make the Labour difficult To things Contingent ought to be referred a Blow a Fall or a Wound which may much obstruct Labour also the want of By-standers which ought to assist the Woman namely strong Women or Maids which may lift her up just at the time of her Delivery An unskilful Mid-wife that
ounces of Blood again on the first day or else the day following and so the third day and after this manner four times one day after another when the pain rages violently But if the disease be more moderate and less dangerous and if the Patient being weak cannot well bear Bleeding so often it must not be repeated again after it has been twice used till a day or two be past betwixt each Bleeding You 'l seldom find that a confirmed Pleurisie can be cured in grown People with less than the loss of forty ounces of Blood or thereabouts tho' in Children once or twice Bleeding is most commonly sufficient All the time of the Disease care must be taken that the Patient be not over-heated and therefore he must be taken every day out of his Bed and kept up some hours according to his strength for if he be kept continually in Bed neither so large and an evacuation of Blood nor other Remedies how cooling soever will sometimes do any good Presently after the last Bleeding it will be convenient to give a gentle Purge Chap. XVI Of Swooning THe next and immediate cause of this Disease is a defect of the Vital Spirits When any one is seized with a fainting Fit you must lay him on his Back and sprinkle Water on his Face and provoke Sneezing put some good Wine or Cinnamon-water into his Mouth call him aloud shake him pull him by the Nose double his Fingers pull his Hair and rub him If he faints for want of Nourishment you must refresh him with a piece of Bread dipt in Wine If he faint by reason of a malignant quality give a scruple of Venice-Treacle dissolved in some Cordial Water If he faints by reason of immoderate Evacuations he must be refreshed by good Meat and Drink Sleep and Rest If it proceed from too great loss of Blood lay him in a Bed with his Head downward sprinkle his Face with cold Water and give a little Wine mixed with Water If it proceed from Purging give twelve of my Cordial Drops in a spoonful of Cinnamon water and let him lie on a Bed If Fainting proceed from a fright or fear Blood must be let FINIS The INDEX Apoplexy pag. 1.
