Of many that I cured in Naples.
IN that time that I remained in the famous Citie of Naples, untill the year 1555. in the Moneth of February, and then I thought it good to go to Rome, vvhere at this time I cured a number of persons, and have helped so many by the help of God, vvhich if I should record them, it vvould be sufficient to fill a great volume, for there came such a number to my door, that the people wondered thereat, and with four Medicines compounded by me, I helped in manner all of every disease, and the Medicines were these, one Pill made with our Pe∣tra philosophale, Elbero negro, Olio di sulpho, Olio di melle, mixed with Marchpane, and made in Pils. The second Remedy was soluble Pils, made with Aloe hepatico, Colloquintida, Siena, and oyle of vitrioll made in pas••e with sugar, and common honey. The third Remedy was an unction, made with Sage, Rosemary, Wormewood, R••w, Mint, Nutmegs, Cloves, Cinamon, Ma∣stick, Trankincense, Turpentine and wax with common oyle. The fourth Remedy was our Quintessence, and these four Re∣medies, I gave unto those people to helpe their griefes: and I willed them that tooke these Medicines to eat well, and of good meats, and so alwayes they praysed these Medicines, the which was not without great reason, because the Pills first eva∣cuate the stomack of all Impediments, and leaveth nature ea∣sed, the second Pills evacuate the body of the corruption.
The unction comforteth the stomack, and helpeth digestion, and mitigateth the paine. The Quintessence comforteth the stomack, causeth good digestion, purifieth the bloud, and comforteth the head, so that by these aforesaid Reasons, ye may understand that these foure Remedies may helpe against all indispositions inwardly, and for cause of those Remedies those people honour me like a Prophet, and alwayes have had me in great Reverence, as long as I remayned among them.
