Another cure for Scrophulae.

A Certaine young boy of 14. yeares, of complexion cho∣lericke, and melancholicke, who had Scrophulae in his throte, on both the sides, was cured thus. The first mede∣cine that he tooke, was the infusion of Rhabarb, with the trochiskes of Agarick, and acetum squilliticum, and water of maiden haire, mixed together, which he vsed by the space of ten dayes. Then was laied vpon the Scrophulae, a plaister of cerote magistrale with Cantarides: which drew forth the ma∣lignitie of the vlcer, and great store of Sames, being applied for 15. dayes together. This done, I gaue him the decoction of Salsa parilla, with a good diet, for twentie dayes toge∣ther. Then I applied vnto the sore a cerote of Gualtifredo di Medi, which in a short time cured him, that had bene vexed with them foure yeares before.
