The cure of the Flux, wherewith I helped the Armie of the Em∣perour in Africa.

BEing as I have said before in the camp, where they were marvellously tormented with a Flux, and many died there∣of, and could find no help, although they had Medicines. Than I which had the experience in hand, began to laugh to my self, and the remedie wherewith I helped them all, was this. First, I caused them to eat well, and then in the morning I gave them a vomit, and then every day after they had eaten, I caused them to go into the water of the Sea, and there to re∣remain four or five houres, and so doing within four or five daies they were helped, for I swear as I am a Knight, that if I had not been there, the whole Armie had died of that Flux, for of fourteen or fifteen thousand that were there, there was not left two thousand but they were infected with that Flux, or distemperance of the Liver caused of superfluous heat, the which heat distempereth the Stomack, and causeth the continuall Flux; you shall understand that our vomit doth evacuate the stomack of the putrefied humour, and the salt-water cooleth the heat, and restraineth the Flux, so that by these meanes they were helped.
