SECT. VII. Of the Inflammation &c. of the Womb.

THis is very dangerous, and the death of most; caused from the Lochia stopt, or bruise; by two hard swathes, falling out o'th Womb, &c. an Impostume or Cancer fol∣lows a bruise, if not death; wherefore tem∣per the heat and humors (first extracting or causing the expulsion of strange things re∣maining i'th Womb; using not the least violence) with Veal or Pullet broth, with Lettice, Purselan, Succory, Sorrel; abstain from Wine, keep quiet in Bed, with anodine Clysters, and bleed i'th Arm, not i'th Foot; reiterate it, because 'tis very pressing, till the greatest part of fulness be a little evacua∣ted, an inflammation diminished, then i'th Foot if need; injecting in the Womb Barley water with Oil of Violets, or milk. An A∣postume, Schyrrhus or Cancer is the Physiti∣ans or Chyrurgions work.
