WHen it shall bee perceiued that the body is weak∣ned by the ouerflowing of the tearmes, then they shall be suppressed. If plenty of blood be the cause of it, a veine shall be opened, and a slender diet shall be prescribed, and such meats as doe generate blood, shall be auoyded: but if this disease bee caused by watery blood, or else the heate, sharpenesse, or thinnesse of the blood, first the offending humors shall bee digested, and then expelled by a purge. At the length Cupping-glasses shall bee vsed, that the course of the blood may bee turned another way▪ and then the course of the blood may be stayed, the Orifices of the veines clo∣zed, and the blood thickned, whereof some shall bee taken inward, and others outward; and because in all fluxes the heart and liuer are weakened, therefore both those bowels shall be corroborated. Iniections, and pessaries of astringent things are herein of great force, because they come sooner to the part affected, then they that are taken in at the mouth. If this disease be caused by some eating vlcer in the wombe, it may be clensed with water of Hony, and then healed with Frankincense, Aloes, Terra sigillata, and other,
