A regular and easie cure for the Venereal Pox with the preceed∣ing Medicines.

THis disease sometimes lyes obscure and di∣ficult to be dettcted, and puts on the dis∣guises of other infirmities, but those who are guilty of the danger, may conclude by some of the following symptoms, what it is that trou∣bles and alters them. Yet this foul disease is not alwaies got by impure copulation; But otherwise sometimes, Man with Man, and Wo∣man with Woman, lying together, and hav∣ing intimate Society. And although it be in∣fections, yet all bodies are not apt to receive it, as all catch not the Plague in an infected house. But I must shorten the discourse, and come to the symptomes which attend the disease, and they are various according to the degree and heigth arrived at. At first a lassitude, weari∣ness and indisposition to motion, heaviness and dulness, the Spirits being tainted and opressed with the infection: pain of the head, shoul∣ders and other parts, cheifly at night: heat and burning in the palmes of the hands and soles of

the feet: a Gonorrhae a or running of the Reins: afterwards breakings out upon the skin vene∣reous buboes, and Ulcers of the privy parts, &c. Which come not altogether, but successively by degrees, discovering the discase in its progress, and degree of malignity.

The cure is performed thus; the first day take a Dose of the I••alic pills; the second day let a vein be opened, if you be Feavorish or of a hot constitution; take blood at the discreti∣on of your Chyrurgeon. The fourth day take the Italic pills again; rest the fifth, sixth, and seventh: the eight day take the Italic pills again: the tenth, eleventh, twelfth dayes take the Neapolitan Pills to sweat; then rest 2 or 3 dayes, and take the Italic pills again; and after that, the Neopolitan. As occasion requires continuance.

This method you are to observe for a short or longer time, according to the greatness and inveterate contumacy of the disease. Inter∣chainging these Medicines and giving conveni∣ent respite: which course will not be hard for you to observe although your body be weak and brought low with the disease, for nature will strengthen and be much incouraged dayly, by the assistance of these Medicines and Methodi∣cal course, prevailing upon the disease. And you will be more cheerful and strong then at first when you began.

In the interim during this course and me∣thod,

no day is prohibited but you may use the powder of Saturne, if there be any Ulcer, pustuls, Scabs, or tumors caused by this di∣sease: also the Restringent powder if there be a Gonorrhaea: and if your mouth be fore, or the gums swelled and tender by reason of the malignant humor spending it self that way by spitting, as sometimes it doth; then use to gar∣gle your mouth often with hot broth, or warm Beer sweetned with hony, and you need not fear any prejudice.
