time is the only Antidote against all Plagues Poisons bitings and stingings of venemous Beasts a present help to the Falling-Sicknesse and Apoplectical fits to the Palsy Tissick spitting of Blood Jaundies Dropsy Colick and all kind of Melancholy the Gout Madnesse c. It procureth the natural courses in Women openeth obstructions expelleth dead children out of the Womb strengthneth the Braines the Liver the Stomack the Heart and in a word the whole body and preserveth it from all contagion and putrefaction XXVII Our Cordial and miraculous water is thus made Take of Venice-Treacle one pound of the roots of Cypress Tormentill Enula Campana Dictamnum of each one ounce Angelica and Carduus-Benedictus leaves of each one handfull of the four Cordial-Flowers of each a quarter of an ounce of Saffron a quarter of an ounce cut the roots and leaves small and dissolve your Treacle in a pint of Rose-water then add to all that four quarts and a pint of the best and strongest Claret-Wine you can get steepall in a vessel close stopped a whole night in the morning still it in Balneo and draw two quarts of the first water and keep it for your use you may draw the rest of the liquour too if you will but keep it by it self and sweeten the first pottle of water with half a pound of loaf Sugar and keep it in a glass well stopped for your use XXVIII Whereas we have said before that the pestilential Feaver was alwaies or most commonly accompanied with either of these three Symptomes to wit a Botch a Carbuncle or the Tokens We say now that for the Tokens they require no particular cure but only the general one of sweating but the other two must have a peculiar one for themselves besides that of sweating and therefore first concerning the Botch XXIX A pestilent Botch is a swelling or tumour growing most commonly in the Emunctories of the bodie as behind the ears in the arm-pits but most frequently in the groin It s figure in the beginning is oblong with as it were a string or a sinew along in the middle of it but by degrees it groweth round and of the breadth of some times 2. or 3. or 4. fingers The cure of it is first with a Cupping-glass to draw it forth as much as you can and then bring it to maturitie and suppuration with either a drawing pultis or plaster XXX The pultis is thus made Take of roots of Cumfrey and Lilies and of Onions of each one ounce of the leaves of sorrell one handfull fry them tender with sweet butter then stamp them altogether and add some oil of Lilies Hoggs grease Mithridate and Yest and make a pultis to be applied warm upon the Botch and to be renewed once every twelve hours It will speedily draw forth maturate and break the Botch As for a plaster you shall find none better then that which is made of equal portions of Pitch Galbanum and Diachylon cum gummi melted together upon a soft fire The Botch being broken the common ointment called Basilicon will suffice for the cure and cicatrization of it dressing it twice a day till it be quite whole XXXI A pestilential Carbuncle appeareth at first like a tumour or pustule as if the flesh had been burnt in that place and is at first about the bignesse of a pins head or a little pease but sometimes groweth to a fearfull bignesse it is of a round and sharp-pointed figure and sticketh so fast to the part where it groweth that the skin cannot be loosened from the flesh There is a great heat burning and pain as if the part was pricked with needles with an unsufferable itching When the tumour groweth bigger there appeareth in the middle of it a pustule like those that appear where the flesh hath been burnt Any body would think there is some matter in it but when it is open no matter cometh out but the flesh under looketh black and crustie as if it had been burnt with a hot Iron Round about it the flesh is of several colours as the rain-bow red purple black and alwaies shining as pitch or seacoles In every Carbuncle there is a feeling as it were of a great weight as if the part was crushed with a heavie lump of lead and tied too hard with a string Those that go back again into the bodie after they have appeared or being brought to suppuration do grow drie on a sudden are mortal These Carbuncles proceed from an adust cholerick and melancholick blood and are more frequent in hot Countries as the botches are in the cold ones XXXII The cure of a Carbuncle is to bring it to a softnesse and suppur●tion therefore first take Mallowes and Violet leafs the roots of Lilies Linseed in powder Figgs sliced Plantain Hemlock and Housleeke boil all in a sufficient quantity of running water and make a fomentation to be used four or five times a day and after the fomentation apply this pultis lukewarm Take of Mallowes and Violet leafs Sorrell Housleeke of each two handfulls fry them in sweet butter and stamp them afterwards with the yolks of Five Eggs and and four ounces of honie of Roses and make a pultis to be renewed every 12. hours Pultises in this case are alwayes to be preferred before plaisters because plaisters stop the pores of the bodie and hinder the expiration of the pestilential venome XXXIII Let it be observed for a most material thing that the pulse in the Plague is always Quick Small Obscure and Intermittent XXXIV Having now in a few lines expressed the nature and cure of the Plague and its symptomes it remaineth also we should give some praeservative against it Therefore take of Sage Rue Angelica and Carduus Benedictus of each one good handfull stamp all and boil them gently in a close pipkin with three quarts of very good Claret till it cometh to two adding to it three penny waight of long pepper three quarters of an ounce of ginger half an ounce of nutmeggs beaten in powder when the liquour is boiled strain it and dissolve in it half an ounce of Mithridate and as much of Venice treacle and one dragme of good Saffron and keep it all in a close Glasse for your use The dose is two spoonfulls in a morning fasting one hour after and then go to breakfast which is never to be omitted in infectious times XXXV The short compasse of two Sheets of Paper admitting no more I shall conclude assuring all the Readers that I have said nothing here but what is most true and I am able to justifie by Reason and Experience as those will find who shall be pleased to employ me From my House in Clerkenwell Close near the Church the 14. day of Septemb. 1665.
