Thus much for preparing and purging Medicines. The Diseases therefore being thus prepared and evacuated, or at least in some measure conquered, the next Instru∣ment to make it quit its quarters, is the Specifique Alterant Medicines, which, as it were with all speed does fly in the very face of the Disease it self, they being form∣ed of matter, perfectly contrary either to the nature or temper of this Scrophulated Disease, against which they are wholly de∣signed to encounter when ever they are made use of, as you may guess by their fol∣lowing frame and make: for whereas we see Strumaes arise from a cold and moist being, so we shall not only likewise see these Remedies hot and dry, but also such as are cherishing and refreshing the natural Spirits, and strengthening the parts, they seem to attenuate all thick, viscid, and gross Humours, and brings a certain equa∣lity to all the Juyces that have their Cir∣culation in the Sanguinary Mass; and these also are of divers sorts, thus made good.
Arnaldus Villanovanus prescribes this as an excellent Specifick Alterant Powder in Strumous Tumours.
