A physical treatise grounded, not upon tradition, nor phancy, but experience, consisting of three parts. The first, a manuduction, discovering the true foundation of the art of medicine. Second, an explanation of the general natures of diseases. Third, a proof of the former positions by practice. By William Russell, chymist in ordinary to His Majesty.

Example. 4. Of a Tumified Womb.

A young Woman, labouring under a natural Deficiency propagated to her, striving to extrude it self by He∣meroids and Piles, being also at the same time afflicted with a Tumified Womb, hard and sore, so that she could not possibly bear the Congress of her Husband; and having long su∣stained this Calamity, and finding the Remedies of other Physicians useless, applied her self to me. I streight, in order to her Cure, gave her my Pou∣der every Morning, and my Arca∣num Veneris, every Night, appointing my Scerbutick Tincture to be taken in

Drink, by twenty Drops at a time, as often as she drank. And this Me∣thod was continued for full four Months; after which time she quick∣ly Conceived with Child, and hath ever since remained well, though she were cured of this Malady divers Years ago.
