CHAP. XI. Contraction or shrinking of sinewes, vvith consump∣tion of the partie, holpen, by W. H.

A Man 26. yeares old, hauing a sore and grieuous vlcerated legge, fell into the handes of inexpert Surgeons, who with their corrosiues shrunke vp his sinewes, that he could neither go nor stand, but in short time after, he was cured in this manner. He was once purged with Aromatico, then he tooke Quintaesse: solutiue two or 3. dayes together, in sirupe of roses, and dronke thereupon a litle broth. Then did he vse the bath following diuers times, & annointed him with the ointment, against contraction of sinewes, described by Leonardo Fiorauāte. Another man hauing his hand shrunke together, vpon the like occasion, was healed in the same or∣der. This is the description of the bath. Take two or three young whelpes, that cannot see, boile them in water with mallowes, Hollihock, mellilot, walwort, Camomill, ana one handfull: boile the whelpes, till the flesh fall from the bones, this done strayne it, and vse to bath therewith very warme.
