The Hoofe of an Oxe cut into parings and boyled with bruised Mustard-seed in white Wine and faire Water The Bloud of a Malard drunke fresh and warme or els dryed to powder and so drunke in a draught of white Wine The Bloud of a Stagge also in the same manner The Seeds of Rue and the leaues of Betony boyled together in white Wine Or Take ij Scruples that is fortie graines of Mithridate of prepared Chrystall one dram that is three-score graines fresh Butter one ounce Mixe all well together Swallow it down by such quantities as you can swallow at once and drinke presently upon it a quarter of a pint of the decoction of French Barley or so much six shillings Beere Of this I haue had happy proofe There is also another excellent course to be taken besides all these by those of abilitie and that is Take a sound horse open his belly aliue take our all his entrayles quickly and put the poysoned partie naked into it all saue his head while the body of the horse retaines his naturall heate and there let him sweat well This may be held a strange course but the same reason that teacheth to divide liue Pullets and Pigeons for Plague-sores approveth this way of Sweating as most apt to draw to it selfe all poysons from the heart principall parts of the Patients body But during this time of Sweating he must defend his braine by wearing on his head a Quilt thus made Take Cynnamom Nutmegs Cloues all the Saunders of each halfe an ounce Roots of Angelica Tormentill white Dittany and Valerian of each one ounce Dryed Sage Rosemarie Balme of each halfe a handfull and of Red-Rose leaues dryed two handfulls Make all these into a grosse Powder and Quilt them up in Sarsnet or Calico and let it be so big as to cover all the head like a Cap Then binde it on fast with a kerchief In all this time the Patients dyet is not the lest to be thought upon which must be new Milke from the Cow fresh Butter Sallet Oyle fat Broths of Mutton or Veale or of fresh Beefe For fat things stop the vessels hinder the course of the Poyson to the principall parts In his broths also boyle these hearbs Burnet Buglosse Borrage and wilde Tyme He must reside in a cleare ayre or els haue the Ayre rectified with perfumes and those must be temperate and milde not too full of fume lest they suffocate his Spirits I need not set downe any every one knoweth the use of Rose-water Iuniper Rosemary Bayes and Frankincense Let him be ever smelling to Rosemary rubbed in ones hand to Iuniper berries a little bruised Lemons stuck with Cloues Myrrh Storax or Lignum Aloës He must sleepe little for sleepe draws the venom to the center of the body but watching driues it to the outward parts As for Thirst let him beare it as much as he can But if it afflict past sufferance let him drinke now and then new milke turned with Vinegar into Posset-drinke CHAPTER III. A more Particular way of Cure wherein is touched the eating of Mushroms Muskles and Perewinckles THough I intend not to discover the particular nature of every Poyson which might be a way to instruct evill minds in evill purposes yet without some distinction I shall take much pains to little purpose Therefore this generall difference must be made knowne namely that there are Poysons both Hot and Cold and their Cures are as different as their Complexions Therefore if the Poyson taken be hot as will appeare by the Accidents that will follow viz. Bitings Prickings and Gnawings within extreame Heats Burnings inflamations and Hot Swellings Inward or Outward Then the Glysters must be gentle As thus Take Mallows and Violet leaues of each two handfulls French Barley one handfull Camomill-flowers halfe a handfull Boyle them in a sufficient quantitie of faire water till the third part of the water be boyled away Then srayne it to three quarters of a pint of the strayned liquor put an ounce of Diacatholicon or for the richer sort an ounce of Cassia Fistula newly drawne and three ounces of Course Sugar or else Honey of Roses two ounces and a little Salt Eate fat Broths with coolehearbs boyled in them as Borrage Bugloss Violet leaues likewise French Barley with juyce of Lemons the tartnesse being taken off with Sugar or Honey as also Sorrell so corrected Giue the Patient leaue to sleep if he can but enforce it not And for his Antidotes use Mithridate mixed with Conserue of Roses Or els Take of Diamargariton frigidum one dran of oxymel fimplex one ounce and Carduus water three ounces Mix them together and let him drinke it In all other poynts keepe him as is taught before But if the Poyson be of a Cold nature which will appeare by coldnesse within or without or both numbnesse fullnesse dulnesse and drouzinesse Then use Vomits shape Glysters and the like as are appointed in the precedent Chapter Keepe him from Sleeping Make him neeze often with powder of strong Tobacco blowne up into his nose with a quill or if the Tobacco alone will not doe it mix a little powder of Euphorbium with it Rub his Brest Sides Backe and Limbs with warme woollen Cloaths Speake much to him and enforce him to stirre his body as much as may be Endevour also to make him Sweat to which purpose you may use this Medicine following Take one dram of Gentianroote in fine Powder with two or three graynes of Bezoar-stone Giue it in a little draught of Carduus Posset-drinke made with white wine and a little Vineger Giue it hot and cover him well with cloths ordering him so before in and after sweating that he take no cold neither eate nor drinke in fiue or six houres after Let his Antidotes be Andromachus or London-Treacle With his meate boyle Garlicke Onions Balm and Sweet Fenel-seeds And let him endure Thirst as long as he possibly can In all otherthings order him as occasion shall serue or require according to the prescriptions in the Chapter before Some out of wantonnesse and apish imitation of Strangers haue learn'd
held to the nose And if any of that filthy water bee gone downe into his stomacke it must be brought forth by vomiting Likewise if in at the nostrills the patient must be provoked to neezing with powder of Tobacco long Pepper or such like CHAP. XVII For things Sticking in the Throate OF Things that endanger stopping of the breath in swallowing some are Sharp and some Blunt Of the Sharp sort are Fishbones Pinnes Thornes and such like for sometimes a Fish-bone in swallowing sticketh crosse the throat and is very offensiue And the like hath happened by a Pinne with such as foolishly use to carry Pinnes in their mouths Of the Blunt sort it happeneth sometimes through over-greedy eating that a gobbet of meate or a peice of a bone too big for the swallow sticketh in the throat likely to stop the breath Sometimes through wanton rowling of a peece of money a ring a bullet a pease a plumstone or some such like thing it slippeth into the throat and sticketh there Some againe whose gullet is very narrow in swallowing a Pill haue beene much endangered I haue heard of a Child in Woodstreet strangled with a Grape and we reade that Anacreon the Greeke Poet was choaked with a Grape stone Now of those things that are Blunt they that are of the bigger size cannot fall into the winde-pipe because the passage is too little to entertaine them But they offend with their over-bignesse sticking in the meate-pipe and so compressing or thrusting together the necke of the windepipe which joyneth to the meat-pipe that the breath for that cause cannot passe freely On the other side very Small things as a Crumme a drop of liquor or the like cannot sticke in the meat-pipe but their offence is by reason that when we swallow and breath at once the Epiglottis which is a little peice of flesh that covereth the mouth of the windepipe to keepe the things that we swallow from falling into it lifting it selfe up as it alwayes doth either to take in aire or to let out breath some little thing may in that poynt of time slip into the windepipe whose passage is so streit that the breath is presently stopped The Sharp things may light into either passage and if they turne crosse their offence is painfull pricking wounding of the part whereupon may follow inflamation and swelling which swelling will stop the breath also as in the Squinancie the swelling of the neighbour-parts streitens the Breath-pipe If those of the bigger Blunt sort sticke in the mouth of the meat-pipe let the party drinke as great a draught of drinke as he can to carry it downe If that will not stirre it but the partie waxeth blacke in the face and cannot fetch his breath clap him often on the necke betwixt the shoulders holding downe his head and giue him a draught of sallet Oyle to make it slip away But if it be so low in the throat fixed that it cannot be gotten up nor downe let some discreet body thrust it downe with their finger or with a smooth sticke If a Pinne or Fish-bone sticke in the throat and it be so high that opening the mouth wide you may see some part of it plucke it out if you can come at it with your fingers or with a hooked wiar or else with two smooth stickes in manner of a payre of tongs a small curling-iron is very apt for the purpose If it be low out of sight thrust in a small Candle of Virgin-wax warmed sufficiently that the Pin or Bone may sticke to it when it toucheth it and so you may draw it out Or if you haue no such Candle take a small limber willow sticke make it crooked like a bow and annoynt it at one end with Turpentine and assay in the same manner to fetch it out Or let him swallow downe a peece of a Spronge fastned to the end of a browne thred and annoynted with Turpentine and when it is gone so low as to touch that which sticketh in the way with the thred plucke out the Sponge againe If it will not come forth Swallow a peice of fat meate upon it to driue it downe or a figge opened turned the inside outward or a crummy peice of new bread dipped in saller Oyle But if a crumme of Bread a small Fish-bone a Pinne or such like suddainly slip into the wind-pipe it will make him cough let some other make him neez likewise by tickling his nostrills with straws or rushes If he cough not enough to bring it out let him swallow by suddain gulps some Vineger or Verjuice so with much coughing it will be driven out for the breath will not suffer it to sinke very low But sometime a drop of Vineger or some such sharpe sauce slipping of it selfe into the same passage causeth much trouble The partie must then drinke leasurely and by gulps a draught or two of water and honey or els of small Ale and Sugar CHAP. XVIII For Scaldings with VVater Oyle Lye Milke or any other Liquor As also for Burnings with Fire Gun-powder Lime or such like FOR Scaldings Take the White of an egge or two or moe of them according to the largenesse of the hurt Beat it with a sufficient quantitie of oyle of Roses or els of sallet oyle Dip fine rags in it and apply them to the place and take them off no more till it be well Onely three or foure times in a day wet the place through them with the sayd mixture Against Fire or Gun-powder Take two pounds of Butter that was never salted melt it poure it into spring-Spring-water there beat it and wash it well Then take twelue ounces of the fine powder of Brimstone the seeds of Coucumbers made into fine powder and Camphor also in fine powder of each halfe an ounce Mix all together with the Butter and keepe it as an Oyntment in which dipping a feather annoint the part burned and lay a fine soft linnen cloth upon it Repeat the annoynting often Sometimes Burning Lime may be spurted into the Eye or some scalding drop or a sparke of Fire may leap into it For this the white of an Egge beaten with Eyebright water or Carduus water is very good if you drop now and then a drop of it into the eye But the Playster of Carduus described in the 8. Chapter is most soveraigne I was in place about seaven yeares since where some Gentlemen were taking Tobacco and as one had knocked out the snuffe or coale of it on the Table another in jest blew it toward him he also blew it at him againe This began to be pursued from one to the other till a little Girle looking on whose height was little aboue the Table received the evill of their jesting for some of the burningcoale of Tobacco was blown into her eye It tormented her extreamely as nothing burneth more terribly I ran into the garden where I
If the wound be big it must be healed up with some good Balsam as a greene wound But if it be but a pricke it will soone heale it selfe so it be but kept from the ayre But besides these outward Helpes the Patient must taken inward Antidotes also And of such I haue spoken in the first Chapter This is sufficient for the generall course Now wee must come to a more particular way of Cure CHAP. VIII Stingings of Hornets Bees and Wasps SOmetimes these creatures leaue not their sting in the place but when they doe the first course is to picke it out And then if it be a Hornet as it is the more dangerous so there must be the more care had of it If the Sting will not easily be gotten out lay to it a poultis made of leaven wood-ashes and sallet Oyle mixed together Or bath it with Childes urine good and hot And when it is out wash the wound with a little water salt mixed with the juice of Rue Then burne it or els sucke it as was sayd before and after that apply to it a little lint dipped in old Andromachus Treacle mixed with Honey and over it as also over all the swelling lay a poultis made of fresh Cow-dung mixed with Barrowes grease or sallet Oyle Bees and Wasps though they seldome endanger life yet they swell and enflame the part stung by them and cause a great deale of paine which somtimes is followed by a Feavor therefore it is necessary to find a Cure for it And some constitutions receiue also deadly mischiefe by such stinging As some thirtie yeares agoe appeared by the Lady Walsingham wife to Sir Francis Walsingham Secretarie to Queene Elizabeth who as I haue often heard it related by my Father who was her Physition being stung in the hand by a Wasp at dinner time the venom presently swelled up all her arme to her shoulder and thence to her throat that had not speedie meanes beene used and as God would her Physition bin there present it was thought snee would haue dyed within lesse than an houre First therefore the Sting is to be taken out as is said and presently the place to be annoynted with Honey and covered from the ayre If this prevaile not as with the most it doth burne it or sucke it and applie Treacle of Andromachus or Mithridate mixed with Honey Or for the poorer sort fresh Cow-dung or dogs dung mixed with sallet Oyle And if need be giue the partie some inward Antidore such as haue beene before commended Or els for present speed Take Garlicke boyled in white wine or strong ale Or els the seeds and roots of Lillies boyled in Beere Or the seeds of Mallowes boyled in water and white wine with a little Vineger Not long agoe I saw a young man stung in the eye-ball with a Bee while he was too closely looking into the doore of the hiue But the Bee left not her sting there Vpon the place I applyed this Playster I tooke a handfull of Carduus benedictus newly gathered pounded it in a morter very fine and mixed it with the white of an egge so spreading it upon a pledget of flaxe I laid it to the eye and as it waxed dry renued it twice This Playster of Carduus is excellent to recover the eye if any venomous juice be spurted into it or if the eye be hurt by a corrupt ayre which the common people call blasting It easeth paines taketh away bloudy spots in the eyes and is good for all burnings in or about the eyes To this let me adde the bitings of Spiders the garden ones are the worst for they are of the kinde of Phalangiae The Inward Antidote for them is a draught of New milke wherein the inner meate of River Crabs is boyled Or a spoonfull of the braines of a sheepe boyled in water and Vineger Outwardly apply the Cobweb of the same Spider binding it on with a fine linnen rag CHAP. IX Bitings of Adders Slow-wormes Efts the Shrew-Mouse and other such venomous Beasts REmembring what I sayd before in the sixt Chapter to begin the Cure The flesh of the same beast that biteth boyled or rosted as they dresse Eeles and inwardly taken helpeth much Or a dram of Gentian root powdered drunke in a little draught of white wine Or halfe a dram of Terta Sigillata in the same kinde of wine Or els the same wine with Opoponax and Aristolochia rotunds Outwardly the best thing to be applied is the flesh of the same beast that did the hurt pounded in a morter and applied in manner of a Poultis Or a Poultis made of Cocks-dung and Vineger Or an old Walnut beaten with Salt an Onion and a little Honey and applied Or take Peny-royall and Fenell of each a like quantitie boyle them in water and white wine bathe the place with the liquor Or els drop into the wound the liquor that sweateth out of the greene ashen wood while it burneth on the fire Or Oyle of Bay and oyle of St. Iohns Wort of each a like quantitie Or els a little Tarre mixed with a little salt spread on a peice of Leather and applyed playster-wise This is for the Adder Slow-worme or Eft. Now the Shrew-mouse is a little kinde of mouse with a long sharpe snout and a short tayle It liveth commonly in old ruinous walls It biteth also very venomously and leaveth foure small perforations made by her foure foreteeth To cure her biting her flesh roasted and eaten is the best inward Antidote if it may be had Otherwise a dram of the seeds of Agnus Castus beaten and steeped in white Wine Or els some of the other Antidotes described at the beginning of this Booke And outwardly apply her warme liver and skin if it may be had Otherwise Rocket-seeds beaten into powder and mixed with the bloud of a Dog Or els the teeth of a dead man made into fine powder CHAP. X. The Biting of a Madde Dogge ALthough in this our countrey of England I haue neither seene nor heard of any such terrible dangers happening to people by a mad-dogs biting as in other Regions yet I haue seene Dogs mad But the care that hath been used for prevention hath perhaps hindred the sight of those Accidents which old Authors haue so laboriously Commented upon And besides that the temperature of our Climate keepeth the Dogges of our Countrey from prooving altogether so pernicious as in Graecia and Arabia For Aëtius saith that the mad Dogs are worst in intemperate Climates where the Winters cold Summers heate are extreame Tetr 2.
