CHAP. XXVI. Of the Fever Tertian.

THe Fever Tertian doth not continue in one manner, but cometh and goeth, and is caused of chollerick humours: for assone as the fit cometh it moveth choller, and in many it provoketh vomite. There are two sorts of those Fevers, The one cometh with an accident, first cold, and then hot: and the other sort cometh alwaies hot, when the accident com∣eth: and sometimes that accident cometh twice a day, and that is called a double Tertian, which is hard to helpe, because let∣ting blood, the diet, and purging of the body are all hurtful and

contrary to that disease, therefore I will open to thee a secret wherewith thou shalt help them. Thou shalt give him three hours before the fit ʒ ss. of Eleborus niger in powder, with ℥. i. of Mel Rosarum: and after it drink ℥. i. of common water, and this you shall take twise, and then use this potion ten dayes every morning. Take Julep of Violets ℥. i. fine Aqua vitae ℥. di. Oyle of Sulphur, that is perfect iiii. graines, and mixe them together, this mundifieth the stomack, and purgeth by urine, and provoketh sweate, and warmeth the blood: which effects are necessary to the solution of that Fever, giving you great charge that you keep no straight diet in any wise, because it weakneth the stomack, cooleth the blood, and hindereth na∣ture, so that the Patient can scarce be helped. But with our order thou shalt help the most part of that Fever.
