A Collection of English Medicines, &c.

ABsinthium, Wormwood the infusion de∣coction, or iuce thereof, being taken the quantitie of three cyaths or draughts eue∣rie day, cureth the Iaundise: Dioscorides, it thrusteth out the cholericke humors of the bellie, and auoideth them by vrine; wherby it cureth the Iaundise: Galen, Paulus Aegyneta. The creame of wormwood giuen by it selfe, is profitable to them that haue the Iaundise. Anton. Donatus ab alto mari. Wormwood giuen in meat and drinke is profitable, to them that haue the Iaundise. Adam, Lonicerus. Wormwood boiled with Smallage or mayden haire, is with great profit giuen against the Iaundise. Ant. Mizaldus. If hee that hath the Iaundise, doe drink two ounces of the iuice of wormwood, for the space of ten daies togither with sugar, hee shall bee cured of the Iaundise. Gualtherus Riffius. Wormwood boyled in wine and drunke, cureth the Iaundise: Nicholas Spindlerus. The seed of wormewood if it be boyled with the roote of the Flowerdeluce and drunke, doth verie much auaile against the Iaundise:

Anton, Mizaldus.

I haue giuen (saith the Author) that potion of wormwood which Iohn Wierus hath prescribed for the Scuruie, & haue very happily cured many of the Iaundise, and this is the forme of the potion. Take Comarum of wormwood, our drie common worm∣wood, Iuniper berries brused, goats milke, or for want thereof cowes milke or whey of milke, the quantitie of foure pyntes, boil it to the consumpti∣on of the third part, and let it be strained with ex∣pression, then mixe therewith a drachm of saffron in pouder, then againe let it boile another walme and straine it, this decoction must be giuen some∣what warme, thrice a day, viz. in the morning fa∣sting, and at three of clocke in the afternoone, and at entrance into bed: by our owne experience wee knowe that wormwood wine doth cure the Iaun∣dise. Actuarius saith that the sirup of wormwood doth cure the Iaundise, as witnesseth Vitalis de furu••, and Adolphus Occo. Abrotanum, Sothernwood: the wine of Sothernwood being drunke, is verie good for the Iaundise, D••o••corid. Acanthum or Bearefoot: the ••ootes whereof which the Romans doe call tri∣c••rdumcan three or foure rootes greene or drie boy∣led in water to the consumption of the one half, and expressed, and strained from the roots; giue there∣of to drinke against the Iaundise: Galenus.

A certaine man that had the Iaundise, vsed to eate the condite of Sorel, which he did eate in the morning fasting, and dranke thereupon a little en∣diue water, and so became hole as witnesseth Ama∣tus Lusitanus. Acetum, Vinegar: If he that hath the Iaundise, and sitteth in the sunne, and doth draw vp into his nostrels most sharpe venegar, and do con∣taine the same a little while, pressing his nostrels; it doth carry away the reliques of the Iaundise, which doe remaine about the eyes and the face. Aetius. Paulus Fuchsius and many others. For the yellow∣nesse of the eyes it is good to smell to vinegar actu∣ally hot, because those subtile parts do ascend vp to the head, afterwards by reuerberation they do des∣cend to the eyes, and there they ratifie the pores of the eyes, and after they exhale. Marcus Catinarius saith, it is our experiment.

Acorus, or Galengal: the decoction thereof and redde Cicers giuen to drinke, is a present remedie for the Iaundise. Petrus Hispanus, Leonellus Fauen∣tinus. Make a bath of the water of the decoction of Acorus, and it doth the same. A draught of the de∣coction of Acorus in water, cureth the Iaundise Quintus Appollinarius.

Adiantum, Mayden or Venus haire: euery kinde of them, is profitable for the ouerflowing of the gall. Dioscorides.

Mayden haire boyled in wine or aqua mulsa, and drunke for some fewe daies together helpeth the obstructions of the liuer, and therefore consequen∣ly is good against the Iaundise: so sayth Ada∣mus Lonicerus And, generallie, Omne adiantum, quia Iecoris obstructiones aperit, Ictericis confert.

Euery mayden haire because it doth open the ob∣structions of the liuer, is verie good against the Iandise: Fernelius.

Agaricus: agaricke, is giuen the quantitie of two drachms, to those that haue the Iandise: to those that feele a feuer, it must be giuen with aqua mulsae, but otherwise in vino mulso. Dioscorides. Agarike hath a digestiue facultie, and doth cut and incide grosse humors, and doth purge from the tournings of the bowels, and therefore it doth cure those that are troubled with the yellow Iandise, through the obstruction of the liuer. Galen. Agarike doth migh∣tily open obstructions in the Iaundise. Nicholas Pi∣so. Agaricke with rheubarb is an excellent medicine in the Iandise. Gualtherus Bruel: the often vse ther∣of is good against the Iaundise, whether it be in po∣tions, or in pils.

Aloes being giuen the weight of a drachme to drinke, doth purge the yellow Iaundise, Dioscorides. Adam Lonicerus, if the cause of the Iandise doe pro∣ceede from obstruction of phlegme or grosse cho∣ler, as for the most part it doth, take one drachme of Aloes in the forme of pils, an houre before sup∣per and it is an effectuall remedy if it be continued euery other day: & if it be too weak to purge let it be strengthned with three or fowergraines of Diagridi∣••••••: Io. Arculanus. Aloes taken with goats milke cu∣reth the Iaundise: Quin. Apollinares. To euacuate choler in the Iaundise, Aloes in the forme of pils is verie much commended. Leonellus Fauentinus.

Hollerius. Ammoniacum is commended against the Iaundise, for it is verie forcible to deliuer from obstruction, for it cureth the Iaundise, and those that are readie to fall into the dropsy through the same. Nich. Piso.

Amygdalae, Almonds: the kernells of wilde Al∣monds brused with vineger, and strained, and the liquor expressed, and giuen in the morning to the

sicke patient, vpon a fasting stomach, or in the eue∣ning at the entrance into bed, is good against the Iaundise. Hieronimus Bruswicensis.

Anagallis, pimpernel: some vse the iuice therof to purge the head by the nostrils, if any of the Iaundise doe rest about the face & eyes: Aetius, Fuchsius, An∣ton. Donatus.

Anchusa, red buglosse, (so called in shops) the first decoction thereof is giuen to them that haue the Iaundise: and if there bee withall a feuer, it is giuen with aqua mulsa. Dioscorides: Adamus Lonice∣rus.

Anchusa called Onoclea, hath the propertie to clense and purge bilous, and cholericke humors, wherfore it is giuen to them that haue the Iaundise: Galenus.

Two spoonefuls of the d••••e roots, taken in three draughts of water to drink, is good for the same pur∣pose: idem Galenus. The root of red buglosse boy∣led in water to the thirds, is drunke for the Iaundise: or contunde and bruse one drachme in odoriferous wine and drunke, is good for the same. Aetius. A full spoonefull of Anchusa brused and giuen with mulsa for the Iandise. Nich. Myrepsus.

Anchusa, called by Dioscorides, Onoclea, & by some is the root of red buglosse: let it be boyled with mul∣sa if there be a feuer, or in water or thinne wine, ad∣ding thereto sugar or honey, and giue the decoction thereof to them that haue the Iaundise, or two drachms thereof reduced into pounder, and giue it in foure ounces of mulsa, or thinne white wine: Iaco∣bus Hollerius.

Anseris stereus Goose doung: It is a countrie medicine to cure the Iaundise, giuen the weight of

two drachms in wine for som daies: this is prooued. I sayth the Author am wont to cure with this fol∣lowing medicine the Iaundise (which medicine is vsed in Frisia by the common people in the Scuruie) but especially if it be the black Iaundise: I take goose dung, and oxe dung, such as haue fed onely vpon grasse, of either a like quantitie, that it to say the quantitie of three acorns, or two chesnuts, and I macerate them for a fewe houres in foure pintes of Rhenish wine for the richer sort, and in stale beere for the poorer, afterwards I straine it through a linnen cloth gently and so let it settle; then I take two ounces of Radish roots sliced and brused, then infuse it in some fit liquor, wine or beere, and let it macerate for a night, then in the morning straine it, and mix it with the first liquor of the goose and oxe dung, and so being mixt together vse them: and that it may be the better for the taste, bruse lightly nutmeg & cloues and let it hang therin tyed in a peece of linnen: of this liquor as often as the sicke will, let him drinke thereof, so that in the whole time of his cure, let him drinke no other drinke: This medicine although it bee somewhat ru••tical and common, yet is of great vse in this busi∣nesse, as we finde by experience, so that neuerthe∣lesse those things aperitiue bee not neglected, which by the art of Physicke ought to be giuen. And if we consider the ingredients of this medicine, it ex∣pelleth the Iaundise by vrin, for this potion doth consist of diureticks and of subtill parts: for we see how much the Radish auaileth, that being taken by any manner of meanes cureth the Iaundise. The goose dung is of that hot faculty that it burneth the

grasse where it lyeth: heerehence wee may gather how, and of of what subtile and thin parts is is, and how mightily it moueth vrin, being transfused, with some conuenient liquor. The dung of a bull hath al∣so the same vertue, cheefely if it bee gathered in the fields. Some that are superstitious will haue that dung gathered that hath redde haires; but that is not needefull, so that it be gathered in the field where they feede on grasse: Some gather it in the winter whiles they feede on hay, but euery man may doe as they please: And this saith the Author is my ex∣periment.
