CHAP. XX.

FLƲXƲS MƲLIEBRIS aut uteri fluor: * 1.1 This flux of the matrice is a continual di∣stillation and flowing out for a long time; the body purging its self.

The humour is red like putrefied blood; * 1.2 yet sometimes pure, which noteth erosion or gnaw∣ing: mattery, white, and sometimes watery: the secret part is continually moyst with the humours, being of divers colours: She is ill co∣loured, abhorreth meat, her eyes are swollen, and she breatheth difficulty.

1. * 1.3 For the red fluxe open a vein in the arm often; drawing a little blood at a time, and let her diet be restrictive.

2. For the white flux if it have taken her but newly, do not stop it: If it have continued long, let her give her self rest, usinga drie diet: what else is wanting may be supplyed out of the Chapter of Gonorrhaea.

3. If sharp humours have ulcerated those parts, look uteri exulceratio: and Gonorrhaea vi∣rulenta, in the Chapter of Lues venerea.

4. For a pale and chollerick flux, purge with the infusion of Rhubarb.

If melancholy abound, * 1.4 take Decoctio. com. ℥.vj. Syr. de fumaria, epithimo, ana ℥.j. Cassiae re. extracta ℥.ss. fiat potio. and let him use restri∣ctive medicines, as aforesaid in Chapter 19. &c. Lastly,

℞. * 1.5 Cons. ros. antiq, ℥.i. ss. diacydon sine spec. ℥.ss.
