CHAP. V. Of the Ranula.
THere is oft-times a tumor under the Tongue, which takes away the liberty of pronunti∣ation or speech; wherefore the Greeks call it Batrachium, the Latins Ranula,* 1.1 because such as have this disease of the Tongue, seem to express their minds by croaking rather than by speaking.
It is caused by the falling down of a cold, moist, gross, tough, viscid, and phlegmatick matter,* 1.2 from the Brain upon the Tongue, which matter in colour and consistence resembles the white of an Egge, yet sometimes it looks of a citrin or yellowish colour.
descriptionPage 208
* 1.3That you may safely perform the cure, you must open the Tumor rather with a Cautery of hot Iron, than with a Knife, for otherwise it will return again. The manner of opening it must be thus. You shall get a bended hollow and perforated Iron-plate with a hole in the midst, and making the Patient to hold open his mouth, you shall so fit it, that the hole may be upon the part which must be opened. Then there you must open it with an hot Iron, for so you shall hurt no part of the mouth which is whole; but when you are ready to burn it, by thrusting your thumb un∣der the Patients Chin, you may somewhat elevate the Tumor whereby you may open it with more certainty; when it is opened, you must thrust out the matter contained therein, and then wash the Patients mouth with some Barly-water, Hony, and Sugar of Roses; for so the Ulcer will be safely and quickly healed.
