But, to omit chefe fopperies, the right and due way of Curing this Evil is chen caken, when after the general evacuation of the humors by Blood- letting and Purgation hath been premifed, in the firfk place we tmpafe upon the pare affected thofe things that moderate the pain, and mitigate the fervent heat of the humors, and fuch Medica-
ments likewife as help forward and further fup-
puration.
But Repelling and Aftringent Remedies are by no means co be impofed upon che grieved part, left chac by chis means the humor fhould be the more impacted into the pare, che pain augmented, andthe Nerves and Bonecorrupted. If yet not wichitanding the Afflux be over grear, then lec Re- pellers be laid on vety nigh unto che pare next a- bove ic.
Arid cherefore in the very beginning the follow- ang Cacaplafm is co be impoled :
Take ‘Barley meal, and Bean meal, of each one ounce; Campbire one {cruple ; the Mucilage of theyeed of Fleabane as much. as will fuffice, ‘Mingle all thefe votth Vinegar over the fire, and fomakeaCataplafm. Or,
Take the juyce of Night{bade, of Plantane, of Navelmort, of each balf an ounce; the Muci- lage of Fleabane feed extratted with the Water of Nighi{bade three drams ; Bole armenick half adram, Camphire five grains ; Oy! of Rofes, and ‘Myrtle, of each balf.an ounce : ‘Mingle them, a6. Ors
Take the Mucilage of Fleabane feed extratted woth the juyce or water of Plantane two ounces; Bole armenick one dram; Vinegar half an ounce: ‘Mingle them, dc.
Or elfe lec the white of an Egg mingled with the Oy! of Violets be impofed, "
There are likewife commended thofe little Worms that are found in the middle of the uct- moft rind of the Teazel or Fullers Thiftle if while they are alive they be bound abouc che Nails affe- ced.
Where the matrer tendeth to Suppuration,
Take the Meal of Fenugreek feed, and Lin- feed, of each balf an ounce; the Yelk of one Ege, frefb Butter one ounce 5 the fat of a Hen three drams: “Mingle them vitbout fire, and make an ‘Unguent., Or,
Take the Mucilage of the juyce of Fleabane one ounce, the meal of Linfeed and Fenugreek , of each.three drains 3, the Yelk of an Egg ;, Saf- fron one {cruple; the fat of a Hen, and Butter unfalted, of each one ounce: ‘Mingle them, and make a Catapla{m.
When the Pus is bred, the Impoftume is forth- with to be opened, amd the Pus or Snotelike filch (being feldom good, but rotcen and corrupt) is tobe drawn forth. . The Pus being chus evacua- ted, fucha like Abfterfive and Incarnative is then a6 be made ule of. .

He firft of al a litcle fomenteth che fin- eer wich Cows Milk in which Gamomil flowers, | Meliloc Howers, che feeds of Fenugreek and Quinces were fiifkboyied. And chen by lictle and licclehe diffected che {uperficies of che Skin. The Skin being fhaven.away, there appeaced {mal ited {pots ; which being cur withche edg ofa knife, hefindeth under the Skin a drop or two of red Water. That being evacuated, he appheda Li. nen Cloth dipt and moiftened in Aqua ite, In which there was diffolved a little Treacle. By thus doing he foon qualified and quite rook away the pain; and by chis one only Remedy the very next day che finger was healed.
And likewife in another Matron, char for three dates together by reafon of che vehement pain of che Paronychia could not fleep, nor rake any refé ac al. (the skin being {haven off ) he findeck under the skin in the very tip of the finger, a {pot of this bignefs O, in che which there was contained {carcely one {ma! drop of the Ichorous excrement. The {pot being opened,& thereto applied Corton dipt in Aqua vite wherein there was Treacle dif-_ folved, and abouc che whol hand and wrift a linen cloch (after it:-had been firft wel foaked in vinegar aod water) doubled and wrapped, che pain imme- diately ceafed ; infomuch that che very next day | following the finger was fully and perfectly hea~ lied. Bue chefame Author addeth furcher, chat | thisinciion oughe forthwith inthe very begin- ning to be made; .becaufe that orherwife by the copcourfe of the Humors -chere wil be excited an Inflammation and Swelling, and fo che fleth ly- | 19g underneath, yea, and even the bones alfo wil | be in danger of being eaten through. © For che | Skin in thac place is of an extraordinary thicknefs fothac che matter of the Paronychia (which in
itfelfis malignant) when it canby no means ex= | hale, ic chen acquireth the greater acrimony and poyfontulnefs ; andthe finger alfo, yea, and che whol band ( by reafon of the vehemency of pain) is fwoln and blown up: and this incifion very lit- tle or nothing availech, unlefs chac che matter be fitft concocted and converted into Pus.

And somtimes like- wife (but this very rare) theyare bred from the Flefh of the felf fame p'aces > rohich by a certain affinity i converted into the nature of Strum, and is augmented by the accef of Matter. For firft of all, the Glandules of the faid parts (in| like manner as all other parts, the Flegm being dried; or the Melancholly humor, or boch of chem cogether mingled) become hard hike as a Scirrbus doth. But fomtimes che very fubftance of che Glandulous flefh being dried waxech hard; which yer norwithftanding being afcecward mote ftened by the melanctolly or Flegmy humor, in- creaferb, and kecometh preternaturally augmen- ted. Yet notwitftanding, in regard that both thofe waies of generation are coincident, andin a manner one and the fame, Galen thereupon feem- ech for thé moft parc to fleight chis difference, and in his Book of precernatural Tumors, Chap. 11. he there faich, thac fuch as are affected with hat-

Ged with Strame.
Buc yet nocwichftanding touching the Cautfes, we have befoie in the place alleadged acquainted you, that Platerus decerminech, that Flegm a- | ione, and the Melancholly humor, are {carcely fufficient'to generate Struma, feeing that if they were from thofe alone, they wouldmoe chen be of | Jong continuance, but they would rather be obnc- | xious unto putridnefs orcurned into Pus, like ak ace other Tumors; burthacchele Strume derive their original from a Juyce nourifhiing chete pacts.
