The breuiarie of health vvherin doth folow, remedies, for all maner of sicknesses & diseases, the which may be in man or woman. Expressing the obscure termes of Greke, Araby, Latin, Barbary, and English, concerning phisick and chirurgerie. Compyled by Andrew Boord, Doctor of phisicke: an English-man.

¶ The 141. Chapter doth shew of a feuer named Causon.

FEbris causon or causos be the gréeke words. In latin it is named Febris ardens.* 1.1 In English it is named the feuer Causon, which is one of the worst feuers that can be.

The cause of this feuer.

¶ This feuer doth come of coler, and doth differ but little from a feuer tercian, considering that the matter is in the concauitie of the lyuer, & therefore the feuer Causon is more vehement and sharp then a terciane, and the mouth of the pacient hauing the feuer Causon is verie drie, and the vrine is as red as fyer.

A remedie.

First purge coler with Cassia fistula, & extince y^e thirst with the sirup of Violets or Roses, or with the water of Goordes, and rub the wrestes & the hands with the water that prunes be sodden in, & do as I haue written in the feuer tercian.
