The Order to cure all manner of Fistulaes.

FIstulaes, as I have said before, are of divers kinds, and caused of divers accidents, and so likewise they have need of di∣vers Medicines, and first I will write of those Fistulaes that come of Wounds evill healed, and that have made a callow in that order that Nature cannot siccatrize, and so remain Fistu∣lated, and the cure of these kind of Fistulaes is to put there∣in a Rupture that doth cut and mortifie the callow, and cau∣seth it to fall away, and then with incarnating Medicines, incar∣nate them, and siccatize them, and this is the true cure of these Fistulaes. But those kind of Fistulaes that nature causeth to ease her self of some accident, commonly come in the lower parts about the fundament, and they be very perillous, and and not to be healed as they before were. But they must be with purging the body, stomack, and head, the which is to be done thus, First, purge them ten or twelve daies with our Ma∣gistral

Sirrup, then give them our Aromatico, and drink thereon a little white Wine, then purge the head with a perfume made of Myrrha and Cinaber, after these things be done yee shall rectifie the Liver with some decoction fit for that purpose, as of Lignum Sanctum, or Sarsa parilla, or such like that work effect, for this Medicine doth also help Fistula lachrymosa, that commonly come about the eyes or eares. There be other Fistulaes in form of a sore, which must be helpt with purging, and lay upon the sore our Cerot Magistrale with Precipitate, and annoint it with Magno liquore, for with this Cerot one∣ly may all Fistulated sores be healed, for it doth mundifie and afterwards siccatrize it, there be also divers such like matters that are easily cured, if ye apply thereunto those Me∣dicines that are appropriate.
