CHAP. VII. Tumours in all parts of the body, taken away by R. A.

THis was sent me by a freind of mine, who had seen the experience thereof divers times. First he purged the Pa∣tients twice with Aromatico Leonardo, then he gave unto them ℥. ii. of Quintessence solutive, with ℥. i. of Sirrup of Roses, four or five mornings together, and after it they drank a little good broth made sweet with Sugar; that done, they drunk this water following: ℞. Hearb-grasse, Sothernwood, Mug∣wort, Wormwood, ana. M. i. Juniper berries three or four handfull, cut the hearbs, and bruise the berries, and infuse them in a gallon of white Wine Vinegar four and twenty houres in a warme place; then distill it with a gentle fire; this done, take that distilled Vinegar, and infuse therein fresh hearbs and berries, and distill it again as before: Doe so the third time, and distill it as before. At the last infusion you shall put therein ℥. iiii. of good Mithridate or Triacle, and distill them together, and keep them close to your use. Thereof the Patients took at four a clock in the morning four ounces very

warm, whereupon they layd them down and sweat two or three houres, alway wiping it away with warm clothes. Every sweating time they changed their shirts. When this medicine was ministred to a woman, she took but two ounces thereof. To a child he gave two ounces. In this sort he cured not one∣ly Tumors, but Sores, Pustulaes, Fevers, Jaundies, &c.
