A needefull, new, and necessarie treatise of chyrurgerie briefly comprehending the generall and particuler curation of vlcers, drawen foorth of sundrie worthy wryters, but especially of Antonius Calmeteus Vergesatus, and Ioannes Tagaltius, by Iohn Banister ... Hereunto is anexed certaine experiments of mine ovvne inuention, truely tried, and daily of me practised.

The Seconde part. (Book 2)

¶The seconde discourse of Vlcers, vvith their particuler cures. (Book 2)

HEretofore I haue expressed the causes, signes, differen∣ces, and vniuersall or gene∣rall cure for all kyndes of Ulcers, with their Prog∣nostications or Iudgementes. Now also will I prosecute the matter without cea∣sing, vntil I haue prescribed to euery Ul∣cer his particuler distinction, and seueral cure, gathered forth of diuers Authours, and especially out of Antonius Calme∣teus Vergesatus.

Of an Vlcer vvith intemperature.

VVHat kinde of intemperature* 1.1 soe∣uer it be, it may be abated by vni∣uersall remedies, as by diet & conuenient purgations,* 1.2 and (if it be ioyned with anye humor) by reuulsions of all sortes. Hote in temperature, whether it bee alone, or

ioyned with the Fluxe of humors, it may be amended with Vnguentūalb. or Rub. cum Camfora, or Vng. ex Pompholig. vel de Plumbo, vel de Cerusa, aut aqua Rosacea, & Succis Plantaginis, Solani, & Semperuiui.

Colde intemperature may be amēded by fotibus,* 1.3 only of wine, heated or boiling therein Wormwoode, Mintes, Isope, Penirial, Calamint, Organi. Rosemary, Stechados. &c. or Lee with Allom, or vn∣guē. Basilic. or vng. Citrin. vel Dealthea. The moist intemperature,* 1.4 is brought to a natural (by exiccatiue vnguentes, as De Pōpholi, de Plūbo, de Cerusa, de Gratia Dei, Diacalcitis The humors respected for y^t intēperature hapneth seldome with∣out a humor, neither must we passe y^e na∣ture of thaffected part, which must either more or lesse, receiue drying medicines.

The drie intemperature, may be resto∣red naturall (sayeth Galene) by fotions of water, or Vng. Basilicō, or vng.* 1.5 de Pi∣ce, or Diachilon dissolued in oyle, to eue∣ry ounce whereof is added Pulueris Ro∣sarum. I dragme.

Of an Vlcer vvith paine.

PAine in an Ulcer proceedeth moste cō∣monly of hote and sharpe intempera∣ture with corrosion.* 1.6 And then profiteth publique medicines, as Succus Plantagi∣nis, Solani, Sēperuiui, Hiosciami, or their stilled waters, mixt with Uineger, and Oile of Roses. It profiteth also to mini∣ster the white of an Egge, or the whole Egge, mixt with Oile of Roses, Bolo ar∣meno, and Terra sigillata, and Aceto.

A Cataplasme also is commodious, made with Mallowes, Plantaine, and Branne, and boyled and mixt with oile of Roses. Or it shall not be incommodious to vse the white of an Egge, with Oile of Roses, & Litharges, diligently mixed in a Leadē mortar, & after boiled at a gētle fier in a pound of the iuyce of Housleeke, to the consumption of the sayde iuyce. Els the whole Egge mixt with Oile of Ro∣ses, and Terebētine, or vng. Popillionis, halfe an ounce, cum oleo. Vitelli ouorū one ounce. Or vng. Album Camforati, or vng de Lithargi. De minio. de Tutia. De Plumbo. vng Rub. cum Camfora.

If the paine come of colde intempera∣ture,* 1.7 washe the place with wyne, wherin

hoote thinges is boyled, such as is spoken of before, and these or suche like also are profitable. viz. Basilicon, vnguentum Fuscum, & Citrinum.

But when the paine springeth by dis∣solution of continuitie,* 1.8 stupefactiues then are exceeding commodious. Notwith∣standing, those are much more profitable, which encrease the naturall heate,* 1.9 as the yolke of an Egge, Saffron, Terebentine, and Oile of Roses, together mixt and ap∣plied to the Ulcer. And about the circuit of the Ulcer, Ping. Gallinarum, Anseris, Anatis, Suis &c. Muccagi. sem. Lini. Fe∣nugreci, & Maluae, a••e good and necessa∣rie. Also Oleo Rosa Amig. Chamomeli Aneti, Violacei.

When the paine is great, and the pre∣cedent medicines preuaile not, then Ad Narcotica accedendum,* 1.10 and make a Ca∣taplasme with Far. Hordei, Oleo Ros. & Nimpheae, vel Mandrag. cum lacte vel passo coctis, or with bread crummes infu∣sed in water with Oile of Roses, y^e yolkes of Egges, and Saffron, adding thereto Opij halfe a scruple. Or a Cataplasme made with the leaues of white Poppie, Mandrag, and Henbane, with the pouder of Camomill. So is it good to apply Phi∣lonium, or Theriaca, or OI. de Papauere, Mandrag. vel Hiosc. cū Opio. or Succus Hios. cū lact. mulie. cū Ouillo & Opio. And great commoditie hath bene founde ex Oleo Ranarum.

Of an Vlcer vvith a tumor.

IF with the Ulcer through paine,* 1.11 a tu∣mor do chaūce, it must be asswaged, (y^e cause of pain considered) whether it come thy dissolutiō of cōtinuitie or with biting, or intēperature. But if the swelling come

by the malice or aboundaunt Fluxe of hu∣mors to the place, then prescribe a diet thinne and colde. Mollisie or purge the belly (respecting the humors nature) vse Phlebotomie, restraine y^e humor flowing, and resolue that which is already flowed•• which all must be considered in tumors a∣gainst nature. If the tumor proceede of hote humors,* 1.12 it shall be expedient to boyle in tart wine a swete Orenge brused, or Quinces and sower Peares, boiled with the poulder of Mirtles, els Lintels de∣cocte with the poulder of the rindes of Pomegranettes, mixte with Roses and Terebintine.

In the augmentatiō the like medicines adding to, Hordei Fabarū, Tritici, Fari∣nae & Camomel. In the state make a Ca∣taplasme ex decoct. Mal. & Absinth. in vino dulci cum Far. Sem Lini. Fenug. & furfure. But if Pu•• firste appeare, make a Cataplasme ex Mal. in aqua coctis •••• Farina Sem. Lini, Fenugr. & axungi••••suilla, vel ex Farina Tritici, Oleo &•• Croco, boyled in water to the forme of •• pulteise. If the ••mūctory places (throug•• paine of y^• Ulcer) be afflicted with tumor••

the matter being hote, coquito Mal iii. ounces, cum Furfure in aqua,* 1.13 and apply it, whiche also preuayleth muche against the tumor in the Ulcer, but if the matter be colde.

Rec. Mūmiae in vino ad crassitiem coctae, i. oūce. Oesipi. ii. oūc. Fari. Triti∣ci, half an ounce. Boyle these together, and make thereof a Cataplasme.

Of the Contused Vlcer.

AN Ulcer contused, requireth thinges moistening,* 1.14 and engendring Pus, as a pulteis ex Fari. triti. Oleo & aqua coct. aut Triticū aqua calida diutissime ma∣ceratum, which being boiled applie it. Or one made ex radi. altheae & caricis simul coctis ad mellis crassitiem, cū Fari. triti∣cea fiat Cataplas. and then resorte to the cure of woundes.

Of Fleshe excreasing in Vlcers.

THis being cōmonly called proud flesh, must be taken away,* 1.15 either with cau∣terie

actuall, or corrosiue pouders, the weaker sorte be these, Alumen vst, her∣modact.* 1.16 & cū tartaro, Nuclei dactil, cō∣bustorum, aqua vitae cū Sulphure, vng. Aposto.

Of the discoloured Vlcer vvith hardenes of the edges.

VUhen the Ulcer is discoloured, & the edges hardened, note if y^e hardnes be but small, it may be cured by resolutiue medicines, whiche be these.* 1.19 Ping. Anser, Gal.

OF this we haue litle to entreate,* 1.20 whē (as touching this matter) wee haue spoken sufficiently in the Ulcer with tu∣mor. This only resleth, that the Ulcer can not be cured till the tumor in the veines be taken away with often bathinges, and

after a sorte nourishing, the which being taken away with the accidētes aforesaid, either it will cure it selfe, or els receiue the cure of a simple Ulcer.

Of the Vlcer vvith putrefaction in the Boone.

IF in an Ulcer the Boone be also putre∣fied,* 1.21 the Boone is firste to bee bared by corrosiues, or other wyse as is aforsayd, & so much of the boone as is corrupted must be taken awaye, till the Boone appeare bloudye, and afterwarde applye this fol∣lowing.

Neuerthelesse if the Boone be greatly corrupted, nothing can be better therfore then Cauterie, for safely and speedely it drieth both the bottome and toppe.* 1.22 Not∣withstanding, so order the heate of the Iron, that it serue aptly, both for y^• depth and quantitie of the Boone corrupted, for we haue seene that to hotte and vehement

cauteries, expelleth not so sone the Boone corrupted, but haue spoyled it with cor∣ruption. But if the corruption lye ye•• deepe, after thuse of your first cautery (to the ende it may be more easely auoyded) to make the Boone sounde and whole,* 1.23 it shalbe moste expedient to pearse it with many holes, vntill some bloud appeare, & in those holes to applie a cauterie, by meanes whereof, the Boone may be very well dried. Or els fill them with Aqua forti, so shall the Boone be dried, and by litle and litle, expell that is corrupted.* 1.24 And vnder that shall nature incarnate fleshe, to preserue the sounde Boone from the corruption of outwarde aire. To con∣clude, the Boone corrupted shalbe exclu∣ded, and none, or very litle humor shall fo∣lowe it. After the Cauterie hath bene ap∣plied the three first dayes, and the Escar remoued, thē good it is to powre into the Ulcer Ol.

Of the malignaunt Vlcer cal∣led Cacoethes.

IN curing these kyndes of Ulcers,* 1.25 the causes must first be diligently searched, to witte whether it be Plethora, Caco∣chymia, or Cachexia, els an vniuersall in∣temperature, or of some inward part, as

the Liuer, Splene, Uentricle, Ulcered part, swelling of the Ueines, hard edges, weakenes of the affected part brought to passe by euill humors therein heaped, or the causes aforesayde.* 1.26 Therefore let vs take awaye the causes according to their natures then by diet, Phlebotomie, and purgation to suppresse the members in∣temperate, whatsoeuer it be, and in what part. As for intemperature, looke before in the chapter of the Ulcer with intempe∣rature. And commonly in these kinde of Ulcers, we haue prescribed to the pacient the vse of Guiacum,* 1.27 with happie successe, after the vse of common purgation, but in them whose humors and iuyce is profita∣ble, a diet is sufficient, but if the vlcer see∣me bathed in humors, it is tyme to re∣straine thē. For the tumors Varices, thou hast a proper chap. but for intēperature of the inner partes, take coūsell of the Phy∣sition. And as touching Ulcers maligne and harde to receiue Cicatrice,* 1.28 the sum or chief scope of curation is vehement ex∣iccation of the biting humors, whiche is brought to passe per repellentia, and dis∣cutientia. Hauing good respecte to re∣••resseth

at whiche floweth, and to take a∣••aye that which is infixed. And for this ••urpose these folowing are moste expe∣••ient. Aristoloch. Corticis Radi. Caparis. Malicorium, Radix Pannacis, Sarcocol∣••ae, Vitrum Combustum, Testae pisciū Vstae.

But a further respecte must be had to the bodie, for that in some bodies the me∣talles and suche like aforenamed medi∣cines, must be washed before they be mi∣nistred, but in harder bodies, without daū∣ger, certaine of them may vnwashed bee applied, because in suche parties the mē∣bers sence is more dull.* 1.29 Wherefore firste let the Ulcer be washed with an astringēt decoction made with Allome water, like as followeth.

The parte af∣fected must be so ordred, that the Ulcers orifice, may decline downward, whereby the matter may more easely auoyde••, but if that can not bee done, incision is to bee made from the orifice to the bottom of the Ulcer, chiefly if the hollowenes be along or nere the skinne, els if the imminēt daū∣ger prohibite the same in the botome, at the least it ought to bee opened, and an∣nointed with a mundifying vnguent. The which if it cannot be fitly applied, then in to the hollowe and crooked corners, must iniections mundicatiue be ministred, for whiche purpose, these or suche like, are

profitable. viz. Oximel, Oenomel, of a∣stringent wyne, Aqua alluminosa cum melle, Lixiuium, Aqua marina, Egipt. ac pulueris Mercurii. Dissolued in hony & lye, as in the aforesayd chapter.

If the Fistula bee newe, it is cured with the aforesayde re∣medies, but if it be old, & the orifice streit, it must well be enlarged, either with Pe∣nicillo, or a tent of Gentian, or a Sponge

Of the Vlcered Canker.

THe methode of curing the Cankred Ulcer,* 1.41 by diet and purgation, shall be the same, prescribed in the tumor Canker. If it be in the outward part of the bodie, whiche may be safely taken awaye with the rootes, must bee cutte wholy, and the grosse bloud of the veines nighe thereto

pressed out, afterwardes the lippes of the Ulcer to be taken awaye, and finishe the cure in some with medicines cauterizing, in others to consume it with a cauterie, or after incision & expression of the veines, to applie the cauterie. And amōgest cau∣terizing medicines, Arsnick in this case is principall, or the cauterie aboue written, but then vse defensatiues to auoyde inflā∣mation. Then take away the eskar, and proceede as in other Ulcers. But if the Canker be great, and haue deepe rootes, or be neare some principall member, or inwarde parte, or the party cannot suffer excisiō, either through weakenes or feare, or that by the cure thereof, hee should in∣curre greater daunger, it is enough then to hinder the Canker to encrease, by diet, purgation of adusted or melancolike hu∣mors, and that gently with drying medi∣cines, without mordication or biting. And this potion is exceeding profitable to bee vsed nine dayes before excision, taking e∣uery daye twoo ounces thereof, whiche preuayleth also though the cure be despe∣rate.
