SECT. III. Of Extracts. (Book 3)

Bezoarticum Solare, or the Solar Bezoar.

TAke Venice Treacle, Mithridate, of each eight ounces; shavings of Guajacum and Sassafras, of each six ounces; Bay-berries, roots of Eli∣campane, Angelica, of each four ounces; Swallow-wort, Zedoary, Tormentile, of each two ounces; Dragon-wort, Masterwort, Valerian, Scorzonera, white Dictamnus, Butter-bur, of each an ounce; elect Mastich, red Myrrh, wood of Aloes, Calamus aromaticus, Cardamoms the less, white Ginger, Cubebs, Oriental Saffron, Mace, of each six drams.

These being pulverized and mixed, draw the Tin∣cture Spagyrically with the best Spirit of Wine, and then separate the Spirit from the Essence by a gentle heat in Balneo, until it remains at the bottom thick like Honey; which being done, add of Confectio Al∣kermes an ounce, Iovial Bezoar, Diaphoretick Mine∣ral, Oriental Bezoar, of each half an ounce; Elks hoofs and Harts-horn Hermetically calcined, native Cinnabar prepared, sealed Earth, flowers of Nitre, of each three drams; the Mineral, Solar, and Animal Unicorn, of each a dram and a half; Salt of Oriental Pearls, and of red Corals, flowers of Benjamin, milk of Sulphur, of each a dram; salt of Betony, of Scabious, of Scordium, of each three scruples; the five precious Stones prepa∣red, the bone of a Stags heart, Vipers, of each half a dram; Ambergriese and Musk of each a scruple. These being all diligently mixed and incorporated, at last

add by drops true Oyl of Roses, of the Oyls of the seeds of Angelica, of Oranges, white Amber, Cloves, Nutmegs, Cinamon, Camphire, Garden Rue, Citrons rectified, of each a dram. Mix them all together, and bring them into the due and just form of an Extract, to which you may add for the greater force of the Medicine, the Salt made of the calcined Feces, and extracted ac∣cording to art.

Virtue, Use, and Dose. It is a great Secret, nay it is the best Medicine in many and almost all Diseases, against all metallick, animal, and vegetable Poisons, as Mercury, Arsenick, Wolf-bane, the brain of a Cat, poisonous Medicines, Love-potions, the poison of Spiders, Vipers, Serpents, Scorpions, Toads, &c. which doth powerfully expel it from the Heart and the other principal Members by Sweat, and pene∣trates and conserves the whole body. It is also use∣ful after due Purging in all putrefactions and super∣fluous humors of the body from whencesoever they arise, in ill habits of Body, Dropsie, &c. In Erysi∣pelas's (in which case open a Vein first in strong bo∣dies) in the English Sweat, punctures of the Sides, small Pox, Asthma, Melancholy, Pox, obstructions of the Liver and Spleen, Leprosie, Contractures, all long and confirmed Diseases, &c. Also all Gouts in the Joynts, Knee, Foot, Hip, in all Feavers, Terms retained, Jaundice, yea in the Colick and Iliack Pas∣sion, &c. It is a singular and incomparable remedy in the Plague, the Hungarian disease, and in all Epi∣demical diseases it is a great Secret, and by the re∣port of the Patient, it works to a miracle; and that I may speak all in a word, it is an universal Evacua∣tive of all Poisons in the body. In Apostems, Car∣buncles, the true Pleurisie, first give one Dose, and exactly five hours after give another, let this be gen∣tle,

that he may have a third, and of the happy success let no man doubt. But if the Patient should cast up the Medicine by Vomit, repeat it again pre∣sently, yea though he should retain it, for it is not sufficient to give one Dose only; but give it so, that it may cast the pestilential Poison out of the body with power and safety, repeat this Alexipharmack Sudorifick five or six times in two days: Which see∣ing it is often neglected, how many may be saved which dye, and this noble Medicine is defamed! When the Patient is in his Sweat, let him refresh himself with Conserve of Roses vitriolated, Con∣serve of Sorrel, Rob of Goose-berries, Juyce and Syrup of Citrons, of Pomegranates, with Cordial and simple Waters, &c. and let the Patient abstain from sleep till he hath sweat twice. When his Sweat is over, let his body be dryed with clean Linen mo∣derately warm, but take great care lest the expulsed Poison be driven in again by too cold Air; let the Sheets and Blankets of the Bed be changed: And if the sick were tyred with sweating, let him use com∣forting and refreshing Meats, as new-laid Eggs, Broth, Ptisans, and such like, which are pleasant, and nourish much in a small quantity. The Dose is from half a scruple to a scruple: But if he be seized with the Plague, or his case be desperate, let him take at first half a dram or two scruples in our wa∣ter of Harts-horn, Treacle, or Carduus benedictus, or let him take it in any other appropriate Vehicle, and sweat; for it doth most powerfully drive all Poi∣son out of the body by its Diaphoretick force; for you will see the whole body flow with sweat. For which Divine blessing let the Name of the Lord be blessed.

Aurea Hadrianea, or the Golden Hadrianean.

Take of the following Extracts made with distilled

Vinegar, Venice Treacle, Mithridate, Confectio Alker∣mes, of each an ounce; roots of Anthora, Angelica, Eli∣campane, of each half an ounce; Scordium, Oriental Saffron, Lupines, of each three drams; Harts-horn and Elks hoof Hermetically calcined, Bole prepared with juyce of Citrons, sealed Earth, Bezoar, Diaphoretick Mineral, Iovial Bezoar, of each two drams; Hyacinth prepared, Emerauld prepared, salt of Pontick Wormwood, Carduus, the lesser Centaury, of each a dram and a half; Magistery of Pearls, of red Corals, and of Crabs eyes, of each a dram; bone of a Stags heart, bones of Vipers, Unicorns horn, Extract of Lignum Aloes, of each half a dram; then add by drops Oyl of white Amber rectified, of Cam∣phire, Zedoary, Roses, Cloves, Cinamon, Citrons rectified, Angelica, Rue, of each half a scruple. First mix the Extracts carefully, that they may all well incorpo∣rate one with another, which being well mixed, add the other Oyls and Powders, which by little and lit∣tle sprinkle on the mass; which being warm, bring it into the form of an Extract.

Virtue, Use, and Dose. This Antidote from its va∣lue and excellence is called Golden, and in virtue and operation it comes near our Solar Bezoar, only it is easier prepared. In the first place it is a most excel∣lent remedy against the Plague, Epidemical diseases, and all kinds of Poison. For whosoever in time of the Plague shall use this Medicine, keep it in their bodies, and sweat with it, do by the Providence of God escape, without having the distemper. But let one that is insected use it from half a dram to a dram in his greatest necessity, expecting the operation of it in his bed; and while he sweats let him forbear sleep, which many Physicians do not permit under the space of 24 hours, especially when the Bubo and Carbuncle appear; yet seeing it doth restore strength,

and that heat in sleep is carried rather to the exteri∣ors than to the interiors, it ought not to be forbidden beyond the time of Sweating: neither let the sick use any rigorous means to procure Sweat; for I ob∣serve, that either with or without it, by the use of this Alexitery, Evacuation is made by insensible Transpiration, and the pestiferous matter is retund∣ed, which ought to be observed in giving all Dia∣phoreticks. Moreover it helps Epilepsies, Apople∣xies, Hemicrania's, Cephalalgia's, Vertigoes, Con∣vulsions, Palsie and Melancholy. It is a present help in the Asthma, pains of the Heart, Spleen and Liver, Dropsies, spitting of Blood, the bloody Flux, Colick, Sciatica, Gout; and all kinds of Feavers either Quo∣tidian, Tertian, or Quartan. The Dose is from half a scruple to a scruple and half a dram in some speci∣fick and appropriate Vehicle.

It also prevents and cures all diseases arising from a salt and burnt humor; as Elephantiasis, Mange, Leprosie, Cancer, Tetters, running Sores, Ulcers malignant and fistulous.

it leaves nothing of a depraved nature in it, but ra∣dically casts forth all the impure and peccant humors, nor doth it do any injury. The Dose is to be regu∣lated according to the Age, Sex, and Complexion, &c. from a scruple to half a dram in some conveni∣ent liquor, or in the form of a Pill, &c. having eaten something convenient before; for then it works with the most ease and the least trouble.

All being well incorporated, make an Extract and reserve it for use.

Virtue, Use, and Dose. This is a Specifick in the Colick, and is properly applied to the Colick and Iliack Passion rising from a cold, moist and flatuous

Cause, and (the Excrements of the Guts being eva∣cuated) it is a Secret in allaying the vehement and mos•• grievous pains of the Intestines; for it dissolves and attenuates the thick and viscous humors, and dissipates wind. It helps the distension and windi∣ness of the Hypochonders and Stomach, and wonder∣fully relieves the coldness of the Stomach, and the weakness of the Bowels. It is also profitable for old Folks, and those who have the Quartan Age, &c. It repairs Concoction, and effectually expels the Tar∣tar that is dissolved and loosned in the Guts. The Dose is from a scruple to half a dram, in our Water against the Colick, or in any other appropriate.

Virtue, Use, and Dose. We have not a greater Se∣cret for the Womb than this is; for in the suffoca∣tions of the Matrix, where all things are irritated,

and as it were desperate, it is a most salubrious Me∣dicine; for it takes away the cause of these most cruel effects, and all, or at least-wise the most de∣plorable fits and strangulations of the Womb, cau∣sed by a retention of the Seed, and it resisteth many other things of the same nature; it also perfectly quiets the motion of the Matrix.

watchings and want of rest, in Feavers of all kinds, and in sudden weakness: In Phrensie, Madness, Me∣lancholy, Vomiting, Epilepsie, Heart-passions, Hic∣cupping, Colick, weakness of the Stomach, Pleurisie, pains of the Joynts, Gouts of all kinds, Sciatica, Stone, Nephritick pains, &c. For in allaying all vehement and sharp pains it is really a Divine help, and as it were our last refuge, there being not a Me∣dicine to be found in the Spagyrick Republick more excellent, speedy, safe, and secret than this is, wit∣ness the very Mother and Nurse of Physick, Experi∣ence; therefore use this Divine Medicine only to the Glory of the most high God, and the Health of your sick Neighbour, and with me give thanks for the same. The Dose is from two or three to four, five or six grains, which is given at bed time, the body being empty; for when the Patient takes it, he should omit his Supper that evening, lest his food should obstruct the Medicine.
