MENLIƲ M fluxus immodici.
The Menstruis do chance to flow out of measure, * 1.1 through great or small vessels ope∣ned wide, or broken: also immoderate purga∣tions, and grievous travel in child-birth, may be the cause-
If the greater vessels be broken, * 1.2 or open'd the bloodfloweth out gushing on heaps: [ 1] If the lesser, it floweth out by little & little: [ 2] If through eating or gnawing, [ 3] it floweth with great pain: more∣over there followeth a filthy colour: the feet
are puffed up with a light swelling: having a weak body, wlth their digestion and appetite corrupted.
First, they must give themselves rest, * 1.3 second∣ly, if nothing forbid, open a vein in the arm: Amongst restrictives are Balaustia, Aypocischis, Acatia, knot-grass, both the consolidaes, plan∣tin, barberries, roses, myrtills, harts-tongue burnt, quinces; of these may be made decocti∣ons for juleps (in a hot cause) they may be boy∣led in the waters of some of the simples, ad∣ding thereto (in the streining) Syrrupus myrthi∣nus, and de rosis siccis: In a cold cause boyle them in pure red wine: The juyce of plantin or knot-grasse injected, * 1.4 is much commended by Galen: This electuary following is good.
