certaine learned men which reckon that the hote breath or vapour that riseth up from the Bathe is much more mightier then the water of the bath is and it is true therefore it were well that they which have any Dropsie and especially a Tympanie should sit over such a place of the Bath that they might receive into the moyst diseased place the vapour of the bathe either by an holed stoole or by some other such like manner of thing well devised for that purpose If any poore man by the heate of the drynesse of the Bathe cannot sleepe enough let him eate Lettice or Purslaine or the seedes of Poppy called Chesbowle in some places of England or let him eate Suger and Poppy-seed together let this be done at night Hee may also if he cannot get the aforesaid things seethe Violet leaves and Mallowes and bathe the uttermost parts with that they are sodden in These are remedies for poore folke that are not able to have a Physitian with them to give them counsell Let the rich use such remedies as their Physitians shall counsell them If any poore man be vexed with any unsufferable thirst let him take a little Barley and seethe it long and put a little Suger unto it or let him take the juyce of an Orange or take a little of it with a little Suger If any poore man catch the Head-ache let him take a little Wormelade if he can get it or Coriander Comfits or if he can get none of these let him take the white of an Egge and beate it with Vineger and Rosewater or with the broath of Violets or Nightshade or with any of them and a little Vineger and lay them in a cloath unto the temples of his head and forehead If any poore man be burned too much let him take a Glister made with Mallowes Beetes and Violet leaves or let him seethe Prunes with Barley a good while and Raisins putting a way the stones and eate of them or let him use Suppositories sometimes made of rootes either of Beetes of Flower-de-Luce or of white Sope or of salt Bacon If any man sweat too much let him use colder meates than he used before with Vineger or Verjuyce and let them also eate Sheepes-feete and Calves-feete with Verjuyce or Vineger If any man have the burning of his water when he maketh it let him an houre after he is come out of the Bathe annoynt his Kidneyes with some cold Oyntment as is Infrigidus Galeni or if you cannot come by that let him seethe Violet leaves Poppy-heads Raisins Licorice and Mallowes together straine them and put some Suger in the broath and drinke of it a draught before Supper If any be troubled with the Rheume which he hath caught in the Bath let him parch or bristle at the fire Nigella Romana and hold it in a cloath to his Nose and let him set cups or boxing glasses to his shoulders without any scorching and let him drinke sodden water with Barley and with a little Suger If any man have any appetite to eate let him use the sirrups of Ribles or Barberies or the sirrup of unripe Grapes or use Verjuyce or Vineger to provoke appetite in due measure and now and then if ye can get it let him take a little Marmalade or of the sirrup of Mynts or Worm-wood Raman These have I written for poore folke Those that are rich by the advice of the Physitians may have other Remedies enough against the fore-named accidents that chance in the time of their bathing If thou be rid of thy disease by thy bathing offer unto Christ in thy pure members such offering of Thankesgiving as thou mayest spare and give him hearty thankes both in word minde and deed and sinne no more but walke in all kindnesse of life and honesty as farre as thou shalt be able to doe as long as thou shalt live hereafter But if thou be not healed the first time be patient and live vertuously till the next bathing time and then if it be to the glory of God and for the most profitable thou shalt the next bathing time be healed by the grace of God of whom commeth all health both of body and soule Some if they be not healed whilest they be in the bathing cry out both upon the Bath wâ—ich healeth many other of the same Diseases that they are sicke of and of the Physitian also that counselled them to goe to the Bathe such men must learne that they must not appoint God a time to heale them by the Bathe and that when as the Bath hath dryed up and washed by Sweating and made subtill through blowing the evill matter of the disease that it is one dayes worke or two to make good humours to occupie the place of such evill humours as have beene in them before Therefore let such be patient and for the space of a Moneth keepe the same dyet that they kept at the Bath and if God will they shall have their desire but not onely these but all others that are healed for a moneth at the least the longer the better must keepe the same dyet that they kept in the Bath as touching meate and drinke and if it be possible also from the use of all Women When as you goe homewards make but small Journeyes and beware of surfetting and of cold and when you are at home use measurable Exercise daily and honest mirth and pastime with honest company and beware of too much study or carefulnesse And give God thankes for all his Guifts Thus much for the Bath Of Herbes and Drugs

Box of the shoulder bone It is but one Bone having no fellow and it is hollow and full of Marrow and it is also crooked because it should be the more able to gripe things and it is hollow because it should be lighter and more obedient to the stirring or moving of the Brawnes Furthermore this Bone hath two eminencies or two knobs in his nether extremity or in the juncture of the Elbow of the which the one is more rising then the other and are made like unto a Pulley to draw water with and the ends of these Bones enter into a Concavitie proportioned in the uppermost ends of thetwo Focklebones of which two bones the lesse goeth from the Elbow to the Thumbe by the uppermost part of the arme and the greater is the nether bone from the Elbow to the little Finger And these two bones be contained with the Adjutor bone and be bound with strong Ligaments and in like manner with the bones of the Hand The which bones be numbred Eight the foure uppermost bee joyned with the foure nethermost towards the Hands and in the third ward of Bones be five and they are called Ossa Patinis and they are in the Palme of the hand And to them be joyned the bones of the Fingers and the Thumbes as thus in every finger three bones and in the Thumbe two bones that is to say the Fingers and Thumb of every hand fourteen called Ossa digitorum In the Palme of the hand five called Patinis and between the Hand and the Wrist eight called Rasete and from the Wrist to the Shoulder three bones all which being accounted together yee shall find Thirty bones in each Hand and Arme. To speake of Sinewes Ligaments Cords and Brawnes here first ye shall understand that there commeth from Mynuea through the Spondels of the Necke foure sinewes which most plainly doe appeare in sight as thus one commeth into the upper part of the Arme another into the nether part and one into the inner side and another into the outer side of the Arme and they bring from the Braine and from Mynuca both feeling and moving into the Armes as thus The sinewes that come from the Braine and from the Marrow of the Backe that is called Mynuca when they come to the juncture of the shoulder there they are mixed with the Ligaments of the same shoulder and there the Ligaments receive both Feeling and moving of them and also in their mingling together they are made a Cord or a Tendon Three causes J find why the finewes were mingled with the Lygaments The first cause is that the littlenesse of the Sinewes which many wayes bee made weary by their continuall moving should bee repressed by the insensiblenesse of the Ligaments The second is that the littlenesse of the Sinewes should bee through the quality of the Ligaments The third is the feeblenesse of the Sinew that is in sufficient and too feeble to use his Office but by the strength and hardnesse of the Ligaments Now to declare what a Cord is what a Ligament and what a Muscle or a Brawne it is enough rehearsed in the Chapter of the simple Members but if you will through the commandement of the Will or the Soule draw the Arme to the hinder parts of the body then the outer Brawne is drawne together and the inner inlarged and likewise inwards when the one Brawne doth draw inwards the other doth stretch and when the Arme is stretched in length then the Cords be lengthened but when they passe the juncture of the Shoulder and of the Elbow by three fingers breadth or thereabout then it is divided by subtill Will and mingled with the simple flesh and that which is made of it is called a Brawne And three causes J finde why that the simple flesh is mingled with the Chord in the composition of the Brawne The first is that the aforesaid Will might draw in quiet through the temperance of the flesh The second is that they temper and abate the drought of the Chord with his moystnesse the which drought he getteth thorow his manifold moving The third is that the forme of the Brawne members should be the more faire and of better shape wherefore God and Nature hath cloathed it with a Pannicle that it might the better bee kept And it is called of the Philosophers Musculus because it hath a forme like unto a Mouse And when these Brawnes come neere a Joynt then the Chordes spring forth of them and are mingled with the Ligaments againe and so moveth that Joynt And so yee shall understand that alwayes betweene every two Joynts is engendred a Brawne proportionâ—d to the same member and place unto the last extremity of the fingers so that as well the least juncture hath a proper feeling and moving when it needeth as hath the greatest And after Guido there be numbred thirteene in the Arme and Hand as thus foure in the Adjutor moving the upper part of the Arme and foure in the Fockles moving the fingers Now to speake somewhat of the Veynes and Artiers of the arme It is to be understood that from Venakelis there commeth two branches the one commeth to the one Arme-pit and the other commeth to the other And now marke their spreading for as it is of the one so it is of the other as thus when the branch is in the Arme-pit there it is divided into two branches The one branch goeth along in the inner-side of the arme untill it come to the bough of the arme and there it is called Bazilica or Epatica and so goeth downe the arme till it come to the Wrist and there it is turned to the back of the Hand and it is found betweene the little finger and the next and there it is called Salvatella Now to the other branch that is in the Arme-hole which spreadeth to the outer side of the shoulder and there he divideth into two the one goeth spreading up into the carnous part of the Head and after descendeth through the bone into the Braine as it is declared in the Anatomie of the Head The other branch goeth on the outward side of the Arme and there hee is divided into two also the one part is ended at the hand and the other part is folded about the arme till it appeare in the bought of the arme and there is called Sephalica from thence it goeth to the backe of the hand and appeareth betweene the Tumbe and the foremost finger and there it is called Sephalica Ocularis The two Branches that J speake of which be divided in the hinder part of the shoulders from each of these two J say springeth one and those two meete together and make one Veyne which appeareth in the bough of the Arme and there it is called Mediana or Cordialis or Commine And thus it is to be understood that of Vena Sephalica springeth Vena Ocularis and of Vena Bazilica springeth Vena Mediana and in ramefying from these

Excellencie of the English Bath of BATHE in England Written by WILLIAM TURNER Doctor of Physick Collected and published for the Benefit and Cure of the Poorer sort of People who are not able to goe to the Physitians By WILLIAM BREMER Practitioner in Physick and Chyrurgerie PART VIII ALthough there be a very excellent and wholsome Bath within the Realme of England yet for all that J am certain that there are many in the North parts which being diseased with â—ore Diseases would very gladly goe to the Bath of Bathe if they knew the vertue and benefit thereof whereby they might receive ease and remedy Wherefore seeing that J have writ of the Baths that are in foraigne Countries therefore J thought good to make knowne the vertues of our owne Bathes For if they bee able to help and cure mens Diseases to what purpose shall men need to goe into farre Countries to seeke for that remedy there which they might have at home The Bath of England is in the West Countrey in Somerset-shire in a City called in Latine Bathonia and Bathe in English of the Bathes that are in it This City of Bathe is 15. miles from Welles and 15. miles from the noble City of Bristow The chiefe matter whereof these Bathes in this City have their chiefe vertue and strength after my judgement is Brimstone and of my judgement are divers other which have examined them as J have done when J was at the Bathes with a certaine man diseased of the Gout J went into them my selfe with my Patient and brought forth of the place next unto the Spring and out of the bottome slime mudde bones and stones which altogether smelled evidently of Brimstone if that a man may judge the matter by the effect may gather that Brimstone is the onely matter in these Bathes or at least the chiefe that beareth rule in them for they dry up wonderfully and giveth great ease and cureth the Gout excellently and that in a short time as with divers others and Gentlemen of quality can beare witnesse thereof Which things are no slight manifestations that Brimstone beareth the predominancy and chiefe rule seeing that neyther by smelling nor tasting a man can perceive any other matter or Minerall to raigne there If there bee any thing else lightly mingled with the Brimstone which J could not perfitly distinguish it must be Copper for in my abode as J walked about the Mountaines out of the which the Bathes doe spring J found here and there little pieces of Marquesieth and stones mingled with Copper but J could by no sence or wit perceive that the Bathes had any notable quality thereof Then seeing that there cannot bee found any other Minerall or matter to be the chiefe ruler in these Bathes then Brimstone wee may gather that these Bathes are good for all those Diseases which all learned Physitians write that other Bathes whose chiefe ruler is Brimstone are good for Aetius writing of naturall Bathes wherein Brimstone is eyther the only Minerall or matter of them or chiefe ruler thereof saith thus as followeth The Bathes of Brimstone soften the Sinewes swage the Paine that a man hath in desiring to goe oft unto the stoole and when hee commeth he can either doe litle or nothing at all They scowre and cleanse the Skinne wherefore they are good for the white Morphew and blacke for the Leprosie and for all Scabs and Scurffes for old Sores and Botches for the falling of humours into the Joynts for an hardened Mylt or the Cake in the left side for an hardened Mother for all kind of Palsies for the Sciatica and for all kind of Itch or Itching But the Bathes of Brimstone hurteth and taketh away the stomack for the present Thus much also writeth Avicen Agricola in his Bookes of those things which flow out of the Earth writeth thus of Bathes of Brimstone The Bathes of Brimstone doe soften the Sinewes and doe heat they are good therefore for Palsies for places shrunke or pulled in too much or stretched too farre forth for the shaking or trembling of any member and they swage Ache and drawes out the swelling of the Limbes and drive and dissolve them away They are good therefore for the Gout in the hands for the Gout in the feet and for the Sciatica and all other diseases in the joynts they swage also the paines in the Liver and Milt and drive away the swelling of them both they scowre away Freckles and heale Morphewes and Scabbes But they undoe and overthrow the Stomacke Then seeing as J said before our Baths of Bathe have their vertue of Brimstone they that are diseased in any of the above-named diseases may goe thither and by the helpe of Almighty God be healed there Though those Bathes have of long time beene knowne even about a thousand yeares either unlearnednesse or the enviousnesse of the Physitians which have been in times past is greatly to be rebuked because either for lack of Learning they knew not the vertue of those Bathes or else for enviousnesse would not send the sicke folkes whom they could not otherwise heale unto the Bathes for all men can tell very few in times past have beene by the advise of the Physitians sent unto the Bathes but now in this our light and learned time after that so many learned Physitians have so greatly commended these Bathes J doubt whether the niggardly liberality or the unnaturall unkindnesse of the rich men of England is more to be dispraised which receiving so many good turnes of Almighty God now after that they know that the Bathes are so profitable will not bestowe one halfe-penny for Gods sake upon the bettering and amending of them that the poore sicke and diseased people that resort thither might be better and sooner holpâ—n when as they are there He that hath beene in Jtalie and Germany and had seene how costly and wel-favoredly the Bathes are trimmed and appointed there in divers and sundry places would be ashamed that any stranger which had seene the Bathes in foraigne lands should looke upon our Bathes for hee would thinke that the stranger would accuse us Englishmen of three things Of grossenesse and brutish Ignorance because we cannot trim our Bathes no better Of unkindnesse because we doe so lightly regard so high and excellent gifts of Almighty God Of beastly filthinesse because
or so much of delaied or watred wine as much as can be holden in a spoone or a few Prunes sodden and steeped in water or two spoonfuls of crummes of bread washed oftentimes with water or wine tempered as J told before or a toste put into such water but let no man drinke in the Bath except he swound in the bath or bee in danger of sounding or else ye must all the time that ye be in the bath abstaine from all meate and drinke As long as you are in the bath you must cover your head well that you take no cold for it is very perilous to take cold in the head in the Bath as divers reasons may be laid to prove the same When you come out of the Bath see that yee cover your self well that ye take no cold and dry off the Water on your body with warme clothes and goe by and by into a warme bed and sweat there if you can and wipe off the sweat diligently and afterwards sleepe but yee must not drinke any thing untill dinner time except ye be very faint then ye may take a little Suger-candy or a few Raisins or any such thing in a small quantity that will slake thirst for Galen in the 14 De Methodo medendi commandeth that a man shall not eate nor drinke by and by after the Bathe untill he hath slept after his bathing After that yee have sweat and slept enough and be clearely delivered from the heate that you had in the Bathe and afterwards in the Bed then may you rest and walke a little and then goe to dinner for by measurable walking the vapours and windinesse that is come in the Bath is driven away If the Patient cannot walke then let him be rubd quickly and if hee can suffer no rubing then at some time it were good to take a a Suppositorie either of Roote or of a Beete with a little Salt upon it or a Suppository of Honey or a Suppositorie of a Flower deluce or of salt Bacon or white Sope. After all these things then shall you goe to dinner but you must neither eate very much good meate nor any evill meate at all Wherefore you must rise from the Table with some good appetite so that you could eate more if you would The meates that are commonly of all Physitians allowed that write of Dyet that belongeth to Bathes are Bread of a dayes baking or two at the most well leavened and throughly baked small Birds and other birds of the fields and mountaines that are of easie digestion but Waterchanters yee must not touch Kids-flesh Veale and Mutton or a Lambe of a yeare old new laid Egges Pheasants Partridges Capons Chickens and young Geese The meates that are forbidden are salt Beefe and Bacon Pidgeons Quailes Pyes and Pasties and such like meates Cherries and all such fruits Garlicke Onions and all hot spices and all cold meates as are the most part of Fishes howbeit divers may be well allowed so they be well dressed Milke is not to be allowed much but if that the Patient be so greedy of it that in a manner he long for it then let him take it two houres or thereabout before he take any other meate and he must drinke after it White wine that is small is allowable or Wine delayed with the third or fourth part of sodden water according to the Complexion of the Patient Some use to steepe bread in strong Wine when as they can get no other Wine Beware that in no wise ye drinke any water and especially cold water and so should yee forbeare from all things that are presently cold namely when ye begin first to eate and drinke Let therefore both your meate and drinke be in such temper that they be not cold but warme lest when as yee are hot within by your Bathing and sweating the cold strike suddenly into some principall member and hurt it They that are of a hote Complexion and of an open nature and not well fastened together ought not to tarry so long in the bath as other ought that are of colder and faster complexions If that any man betweene meale times be vexed with thirst he may not drinke any thing saving for a great need he take a little Barley water or Water sodden with the fourth part of the juyce either of sowre or milde sweet Pomgranats with a little Suger a man may use for a need a little Vineger with Water and Suger if he have no disease in the Sinewes nor in the Joynts A man that is very weake or accustomed much to sleepe after dinner an houre and a halfe after that he is risen from the Table he may take a reasonable sleepe All the time that a man is in them he must keepe himselfe chaste from all women and so he must doe a moneth after after the counsell of divers learned Physitians and some for the space of forty dayes as Pantheus and Aleardus would namely if they come out of the Cauldron It were meete that in every foure and twenty houres the Bath should be letten out and fresh water received into the pit againe for so shall you sooner be healed and better abide with lesse jeopardy abiding in the Bath It is most meete for them that have any disease in the head as a Catliaire or Rheume comming of a moyst cause and not very hot For them that have Palsies or such like diseases that they cause a bucket to be holden over their heads with an hole in it of the bignesse of a mans little finger about foure foote above their heads so that by the Reed or Pipe made for the nonce the water may come downe with great might upon the mould of the Head if they have the Cathaire and upon the nape of the necke if the Patient be sicke of the Palsie or any such like disease The clay or grounds of the Bath is better for the Dropsie then is the water alone It is also good for shrunken swelled and hard places and for all old and diseased places which cannot well be healed with other medicines The matter is to lay the grounds upon the place and to hold the same against the hote Sunne or a warme fire untill it be something hard and then to wash away the foulenesse of the Clay with the water of the Bath this may a man doe as oft as he list Some Physitians counsell that betweene the Bathings when a man is twice bathed upon one day in the time that the Patient is out of the bath to use his plaistering with the Clay but if the person be any thing weake J counsell not to goe twice into the Bath but either once or else to be content with the plaistering of the mudde or grounds of the Bath It were good wisedome for them that cannot tarry long at the Bathes either for heate or for cold to take home with them some of the grounds and there occupie it as is afore-told There are
