CHAP. XXIII. Another cure of the said Fevers,

IF thou wilt help the said Fevers according to our order: when the Patient is greatly alterated therewith, thou shalt use five waies wherewith thou shalt easily help them, the which are these. The first as I said before is Vomit: the second eva∣cuation of the body: the third evacuation by urine: the fourth to provoke sweat: and the fifth by unction. Neverthelesse each of these alone is sufficient to help the said Fever: but yet u∣sing them all five, there is no doubt but thou maiest dissolve any evill sort of maligne Fever, except as I said before, God will call them out of this World: but to the purpose of the cure First thou shalt set on five or six boxing glasses, according to the com∣plexion and age of the infirmed: then the next morning give him one dose of our Electuario angellica, with Sirrup of Sorrell, and water of Sorrell. Then the next morning following give him some Sirrup appropriate for that disease, and put thereto ℥. ii. of Sirrupo Magistrale, with Rhabarbe: that being ended, give him three or foure times Julep of Violets with Oyle of Sulphur, made per Campana, the dose of the Julep is ℥ ii. and of the Oyle of Sulphur four or five graines mixed together, and this you shall take in stead of Sirrup betimes in the morning, and it will make them sweat and purge by urine, which are most necessary for the sick: and in the mean season you shall annoint them every night with Mag no liquore, which will make them rest well, and take away all their paines throughout the body, and so by this meanes the Fever shall be perfectly taken away. Al∣so take great heed that you take no more blood then is neces∣sary, neither let them keep any straight Diet, but let them keep a good regiment of Life. But when this Feaver doth come through some other cause, then it were necessary to remove the principall cause, if thou wilt cure them: For if it be caused of a Catarre, of necessitie you must dissolye the Catarre first, and then help the Fever. Also if the Fever be caused of a wound, it were necessary first to take away the pain of the

Wound, and then the Fever will depart. And thus in every kind of Fever, it is most necessary to know the originall from whence it is caused: And this is the true way to cure these in∣firmities, which I have proved infinite times.
