Epithemation for the heart.

℞. Aquarum Buglossae, Burrag, Rosarum, Oxialidis, ana ℥. iiii. Throchiscorum de camphera, ℈. i. Pul. diamargarit. frigid. ʒ. i. Aceti alb. ℥. i. Offa de corde cervi, ℈. ss. Santal. Rub. Coral. Rub. misce. ana ℈. i.

With this you must Epithemate the Region of the heart warm a quarter of an hour, and if by this meanes it stay not, then the next day give some of this confection following, which I have found excellent good for the stopping of any flix whatsoever.

℞. Conservae ros. siccae. ℥. i. Pul. Rhab. troschiscat ℈. i. Térrae lemniae ʒ. ss. Lap. Hemattitis, Sang. Draco. Bolarmoni. ana ʒ. ii. Mithridatii, misce, ʒ. i.

You must every morning and evening give two drachm hereof, and drink some Plantaine water after it.

Now here you must understand, that if the flix come in the beginning of the sicknesse, and that no botch, Carbunkle, nor spots appear in the body, then in any case you may not goe about to stop it, but suffer nature to discharge it selfe, and onely help nature with Cordials, and Epithemations applyed to the heart, but if by the continuance thereof, the Patient grow very weak and faint therewith, then is it to be repressed, as before is shewed, but it must be the third day before you attempt to doe it.

But if this flix come when the botch or Carbunkle doth appear, and tending to maturation, then is it very dangerous, for by that meanes the venomous matter is drawn back again into the principall parts, and so killeth the Patient.
