semper aliquid Theriacae adijcere utile est Commendatur praeterea Allium et Theriaca praesertim recens Item uvae passae ac rubi fructus SECTION XIII Of the Serpent Seps and its Antidotes SEpedon or Serpent Seps so called as Paraeus and the most rationall agree because it immediately putrefies the part it biteth so violent and noxious is its poyson Nay Sennertus affirmes that most Writers think it to be the Deadliest venome that is putrefying any member of a Man that doth but touch it And kills within three or four Dayes as common experience evinceth However all agree that it causeth by its bite extream pain in the part affected Pausanius and from him Sennertus Paraus Grevinus Ardoynus and the rest affirm that when the wound is green or newly made there issueth forth pure blood but afterwards most filthy corrupt purrulent matter exceeding faetid The part affected and putrefied becomes white and within a short time the whole Body so putrefying along as it goes that it consumes the very skin and flesh causing the hair to fall off by peice-meal resolveth the spirits and destroyes life if not timely prevented The Method for Cure both in generall and particular is the same which hath been shewed of the Viper SECTION XIV Of the Serpent Cerastes and its Antidotes CErastes a Serpent so called by the Greeks 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 à 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Cornis signifying a Horn because it is reported by our Naturalists to have two horns upon its head like unto a Rams a very poysonous and dangerous Creature it is also but not so bad as the former two yet the member thereby bitten swelleth in nobs and nodes not unlike to the head of a tenpenny naile out of the wound made thereby there issueth a purrulent matter sometimes pale and whitish and sometimes again black the whole Body becomes black and blew The Mind and Phansie become disturbed The Eyes wax dim The Lipps swell And about the Groyne is intollerable pain through retraction of the Nerves genitale intenditur The whole strength of the Body is at last wasted and Life it self subverted Yet many times they linger out till the ninth Day De Curatione ea quae contra Serpentum morsus hactenus proposita sunt usurpanda Ut Consistit in m●mbri laesi Amputatione si locus membri conditio id patiatur quod si sieri non pos●it omnis caro circa locum affectum abscindatur vel ad minimum profunde scarificetur cu●urbitulisque appositis sanguis copi●sius eliciatur Et ●laga Aqua Vitae in Aqua Theriaca dissoluta sit abl●atur vel Cauterio Actuali locus Aduratur c.

Of the Serpent Dipsas and its Antidot●s DIpsas it is a kind of Snake called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by the Greeks à 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sitio to thirst because by its bite it so dryes up and consumes the moisture and humours in a man that they become exceeding thirsty that are thereby offended And so Dye thirsty as Galen notes Lib. De Theriaca ad Pisonem Sennertus thinks this extream drought ariseth from the ardent quality of the poyson above measure inflaming the whole Man growing so much the more thirsty by how much the more they drink for the uretery passages being so dryed and shriveled up that the dri●k they receive cannot pass through it is conveied through and into the Veines throughout the Body or into the Cavity of the belly whence it becomes thereby so extended that sometimes about the groynes it breakes In C●ratione nota Dip●●●● morsui eadem quae reliquorum Se●●●●tum ac Vipe●atum morsui conven●●●●●●●●●me●●a externa interna Tamen p●●●ter illa quia demorsi plu●●●●● bibunt ●t potus ille per vias urina● non ev●●●●● Diuretica exhibenda è Sem. 4. srigid ●a●or Radic Aperientib Resta b●vis Ch●●●● lio B●●sa pastoris Fragis N●c●●is ●●●co● Horde● similibus Plura vide apud A●t●m Tetrab 4.

SECTION XVI Of the Serpent Cenchris and it Antidetes CEnchris which likewise is a Serpent extreamly venamous and permtious killing by the very poyson of his bite without speedy remedy be applyed in three days time Causing moreover curing the time divers grievous and fearfull symptomes As the Belly is filled with water the nature of the Poyson being to dissolve and pour out the humours thereinto whereby it is swollen and puffed up The flesh languisheth and flaggeth the head growes heavy all the senses are propense to sleep and an alienation of the mind followes The part affected swells out of the wound there issueth a faetid purrulent matter sharp and acride whereby the soare spreads and the skin is exulcerated c. Besides most of the Antients maintain from the testimony of Erasistratus it hath a peculiar property in offending the Liver the Intrall called the Jejunum which is the second Intrall of those they term Small and the Neck Curatio petatur exiis quae supra De Viperae morsu dicetur SECTION XVII Of the Lizzard and its Antidotes LAstly Lacerta a Lizzard a Creature very frequent and common in the Iudies as Acosta and others note and reputed by divers to be inoffensive and no question some sort of them are alltogether harmless as common experience evinceth and the unanimous assertion of all Travellers into those parts who will moreover tell you of their strange love and affection which they bear to Men But I shall not insist on that in this small Tract Another sort there are which Sennertus thinks to be though not to be so bad as the rest before mentioned pernitious and something poysonous as appears by the symptomes that follow upon their biting of Men. As the part affected is grievously pained out of the wound which is newly made issueth pure blood at first but afterwards most abominable corruption the flesh about the bite turues pale and putrefies And also exceedingly swells And that you may know the bite of a Lizzard from other Creatures there following many times the same symptomes take notice they allwayes leave their teeth in the wound or member bitten as the Learned teach Curatio in genere perficitur ut antea dictum est De Vipera In specie tamen ut dentes in vulnere relicti ●acilius excidant locum Oleo Aqua calida fricare oportet postea Cucurbitulas ei applicare c.

Of Bulls-blood ranked among Poysons by some of the L●arned TAurus a Bull a Creature commonly known among us even to the meanest Capacity The Blood of which notwithstanding is by many of the Learned ranked among Poysons if it be drank in too great a quantity giving divers instances of severall that have thus lost their lives as Joannes Schenckius Lib. 7. De Venenis and Sennertus Pract. Med. Lib. 6. Part. 8. Cap. 33. from him record Midas King of Phrygia by drinking freely of Bulls blood expired this life as Caelius Rhodiginus Antiq. Lect. Lib. 14. Cap. 12. Ex Plutarcho Lib De superstitione Strabonis Lib. 1. Et Eusebio De Temporibus note Likewise Psamentius King of Aegypt being vanquished by Cambysis killed himsef by drinking of Bulls blood as Herodotus Records Lib. 3.

Cap 7. Ex Diod. Sioul Lib. 4. Cap. 3. Yet this proceedes not out of any inherent property of the blood But as Sennertus proves out of Grevinus Li. 2.

Pross Medicophy 253. hurtfull and no otherwise which Grevinus approves adding that after the blood is concreated in the stomach and Converted into lumps it putresies and so sends malignant vapours to the Brain whence men oftentimes loose their senses Swoundings and Suffocations likewise follow in reregard those Lumps and Clotts of blood growing great can be neither upward nor downward expelled whence the passages of the stomach and Lungs are choaked up But Sennertus rather ●●nceives it to arise fro● a consent of the stomach which whilst●● is repleat of this Concreated blood presse●h down the Diaphragma and Lungs hurting also the orifice of the stomach which being nervous may likewise by consent affect the neighbouring parts that have nerves However and Concreted in the stomach it must needs affect in a direfull manner the stomach being all together unable to digest it as is clear from common experience for we see the blood of this Creature doth glaze and as it were petresie the very earth and pavements on which it is spilt As it * ●●●●i re●●●er jug●● ni sangumem ep●●um 〈◊〉 ●●●s●●n esse v●terii ju●iorum vn●ni●●s senten●tia

with intollerable paines and gripings in the bowells frequent vomitings of Choler the stomach is affected with Hickops the Head with vertiginous and unusuall paines the nose with eruption of blood the bladder and ureters with suppressions and obstructions so that there is but little emission of urine The Lungs with difficulty of breathing The Heart with faintings and swoundings The whole Body in a word with a burning feaver tremblings and cold sweats And lastly if not timely prevented with Death it self Especially if the patient bleed at nose his hands grow cold his nailes pale his lips greenish if he tremble over all his Body be molested with sownding fits If the wound be large in summer time and in an hot Country for it is thought they are more poysonous in such places then in others or given when the Viper was inraged or angry c. You may assuredly conclude Death to be at hand and that the patient will not live long sometimes within seven hours time after they seldom linger out to the third day Nay the same Brasavola in loco allegato tells us he saw one that dyed by the bite of a Viper within three hours after And Ambrosius ●araeus Lib. 21. De Venenis Cap. 16. records out of Mathiolus a remarkable story of a Country man who as he was mowing a meadow by chance cut an Adder in two with his sythe which perceiving and thinking it to be slain took up that end on which was the head in his hand fearing nothing but the enraged Creature turning about its head bit him by the finger the which he immediately clapt into his Mouth as the unadvised Custom of Men is to do if ought hurt them and sucking out the blood Immediately fell down dead-Such an other story is to be found in Amatus Lucitanus which Gesner of Serpents Schenckius of poysons and others record A certain boy seeing a Viper or Adder in the fields boasted to his Companions he could take it up in his hand and receive no hurt but they not believing of it or telling him he durst not the Lad rather then be thought to speak more then he would do put forth his hand to take up the Viper but the venemous Creature extending its neck bit him by the singer very sorely the which as you heard before of the Country fellow he presently put into his Mouth to suck out the blood and thereby bought his rashness and folly at a dear rate for not long after he changed this miserable life for death there being no medecine as my Authour adds that could do him any good yet if he had not put his finger into his mouth he might have been recovered In Curatione quod de aliorum Anim●lium venenorum morsu dictum ●●e faciendum Tamen hoc venenum u● a●● peculiar Antididot habet Ardoynus De Venenis Lib. 6.
