Chap. 20. Of Glutinative Medicines.
THat is the true cure of an Ulcer which joyns the mouth of it together.
That is a glutinative Medicine, which couples to∣gether by drying and binding, the sides of an Ulcer before brought together.
These require a greater drying faculty than the for∣mer, not only to consume what flows out, but what remains liquid in the flesh, for liquid flesh is more subject to flow abroad than to stick together.
The time of using them, any body may know with∣out teaching, viz. when the Ulcer is clensed and fil∣led with Flesh, and such symptoms as hinder are ta∣ken away.
For many times Ulcers must be kept open that the Sanies, or sords that lie in them may be purged out, whereas of themselves they would heal before.
Only beware left by too much binding you cause pain in tender parts.
