SOmtime doth the stone engendre in the bladder / somtime in the loynes. Somtime doth it engendre of vnclene slymy matter / that is gathered in the stomake / and is congeled together with an vnclene slymy heate / and so waxeth a stone or grauel / which causeth great payne and grefe.
Whan the stone groweth in the loynes / then aketh his back and loynes /
and be somtymes as dead. But if the stone is engendred in the bladder / thē hath he payn in ye forpart of hys body / & he can not wel make hys water.
Somtyme commeth the stone of heat / & then is his vrine reade / & in the bottome of the chambre pott or vrinal lyeth much grauel or sande / if it stand an houre still: and that grauel or sand is read and hard when it is touched. Suche a pacient must beware of all hote medicines.
But if the stone is engendred of colde / then doth the paciente perbreake oft / and the sande synkinge in the bottom / is whyte. His vrine is somtyme clere / and somwhat yelowe / as the whey of chese: and to suche one are hote medicines good.
This disease is cured somtime by cuttinge Chirurgeons experte in that thinge. But that the grauel or sandy stone maye be voyded frō a man / that he maye be ridde of the payne or smarte / or yet the perbreakinge: ye muste first se that the pacient be purged of the vnclene slymy fylth / and yt he haue good sieges / & geue him this syrop to drinke: Take the rootes of Smalage / Fenel & Persely / of ech foure in nombre / & of their sedes an vnce / Grummel two vnces / smal Trifle an vnce & a quarter / yt sedes of Chiches & Pōpones of eche an vnce / an vnce of ye sede of ye sharp Burres or Clotes / the herbe of Pinke nedle or Cranes bill / Colonder or Maydens heyre / of ech a handfull / sixe vnces of ye rotes of Brak of yt wal or Polipody: chap al ye rotes & herbes smal / & seth thē in a quart of wine / & a quart of water to the halfe: after that streyne it through a cloth / and deale it in two partes / & to the one part put a pounde of hony / and seth it alwaye to the halfe / and to the other parte put a pounde of suger / & a quarter and a halfe of an vnce of Cantarides withoute heades and winges / made to pouder / and seth thys the thyrde part awaye. Of this geue to the pacient at euery fourth day an vnce and an halfe / with thre vnces of water / wherein are sodden ye rootes of Smalage & Persely / & of the fyrst syrop made wyth hony / geue him euery morning an vnce and an halfe / mixt with foure vnces of water made of the rotes afore specified: and of the other syrop / at euery fourth daye an vnce and an halfe / mixt with iiij. vnces of the foresayd water / & then recouereth he. And if he can not be hea∣led there with / and that the stone were great and hard: then were nothing better / then to cut it / if weakenesse dyd not hinder it.
He that hath had payne of the stone a gret season / or els an vnclene blad¦der / wherof he hath had a payne or shuting in his coddes: or els hath a swel∣linge aboue his preuye membres: if ye will helpe thesame / then bath him as hote / as they be costumed to be bathed / which are greued of the stone. After that take milke / and seeth thesame with egges / and drinke thesame bloude warme in the morning and euening / & ye shall perceyue very vnclene fylth to auoyde from you / both in the sieges / and vrine: Do this a fourten night / and it shall auoyde.
If ye will breake spedelye the stone / that he do bruse / take the Goates bloude / put it into a glasse / and set it in the sonne to drye: after that braye it small to pouder. Take euerye eueninge to beddeward of the same pouder a quarter of an vnce with wine: and of this shall the stone be brused / that it maye auoyde without hurt. And whan it auoydeth now from him / then let him eate both in the morning and euening vpon a slyce of bread the sede of
Persely / and Grummel or Graye mill made to fyne pouder: but the breade must be dipped or wet before in wine. Herewyth is the stone hindered to growe any more / for it driueth it out and bruseth it. Lyke operation hath al¦so the bloude of an Hare / and specially when he is drouned in vinegre.
