CHAP. VII. (Book 7)
In the uritory passages, stoppages of* 1.1 wind, and all moist things, wherewith we nourish nature, which breeds the Stone and the Strangurie. &c,
1. AS the Stone procee∣deth from the said corrupt humors, so the vomiting there∣of doth much con∣duce to stay the growing thereof. Also if you make a Toste of manchet bread, with Salet∣oyle, and then toste it again with hony, and eat it, and drink a good draught of Beer or White-wine after it. The constant use hereof is very good to pre∣serve a man from the Stone, as I found by many experiences.
2. I have spoken so much before
descriptionPage 32
concerning the means of vomiting and purging, and how much the same doe conduce to preserve a man from the Stone, that I need not say any more thereof: Yet I must once again, upon certain evidence, say, That the often u∣sing of the said Electuary of Cophie, and Tosts, doth exceedingly conduce to the help and cure of the Stone; to∣gether with a temperate dyet, but espe∣cially at Suppers.
3. I have heard lately from men of good credit, That there is an excellent remedy for the Stone in the Kidnies, by drinking of the liquor in the Tan∣ners pits; and for the Stone in the Bladder, by using of the same liquor there with a Syringe: which I leave to further Experience; and will not trou∣ble my self with it, while I may drink good Ale, &c. and help my self other∣wise, as aforesaid.
