The Caujes.
The Caufe of chis Affect isacknowledped co be ahot blood; and che fame is likewife thick and grofs, and generated chrough fome defaulc in the Liver, that pfoduceth. fuch like blood; the which being carried efpecially unto che face: ( as orherwife we fee, even in bluthing, thé blood is eafily and {oon carried thither,and chere diffufed) whenas by reafon of its chicknefs ic can neither xetire back again, nor yet be difcuffed and {catte- ted, there ftickerh faft inthae place; and fick
Of al it caufeth a red color of the Face, and foon after likewife (ifthe faid Malady continue long) it generateth red Puftules. Now this diftemper happenech unco fome through a defaule aad fom-
thing amifs in cheit Natural Conftitacion ; and}
thefe lec chem live never fo foberly and tempe- rately, yet notwithftanding chey are neverchelefs fubjeét and liable unto chis Affect. But however for che moft part this evil 1s contracted and pro- cured by fuch perfonsas ate addicted co the por, and given over codrankennefs and {willing ; and they are not only chofe that are exceflive drinkers of Wine, bur hikewife fuctras exceed in drinking of Beer: and I once knew a Student that was no- totioufly affected wich this Malady, and he had gotcena moft foul and deformed Facé. This man travelling afterwards into Italy and Fraiice (where there is not that plenty of Beer) ac his re- rucn home again wasmuchthebetter, and far lefs afflicted with che aforelaid Malady than formerly hehad been. For Beer 1s much chicker than Wine, and cherfore it alto breedeth «and fupplieth a more chick and grofs blood.
The Prognoftick. This Malady is very hardly cured, and efpeci- ally if che Face be ful of Puftules, and asic were
exulcerated ; and for the moft part ic accompani- miech che perfon thac hach ic fo long as he ‘i-
vech. The Cure.
Now this Affect is nor any othet way tobe ctre

Thofe Medica. ments that are made and provided of Strawberries, Cichory, and whatfoever Compofitions that have in'them any of che faid Cichory, are here moft'yfe2 ful and proper.
As for Fopical Remedies, Jer them be cooling; when the Face ‘is only ted, and noc yet défiled with Puftules "but if with the rednefe thete be alfo Puftules accompanying ic, then the Medica~ mencs ought hkewile to befuch as have ii chain a power and veretie Co difculs.
