CHAP. XXX. Of the Fever Quartane.

THe Fever Quartane is a motion of a certain accident cold and hot, which is caused of melancholie humours corrupt∣ed and putrified, the which every third day doth cause that ac∣cident to come, and beginneth with great cold and continu∣eth a good while, and then cometh hot. And this Quartane both the ancient Doctors, and these in our time doe count in a manner uncureable. Neverthelesse, I that have sought alwaies to help those diseases which were counted uncurable, amongst the rest have found the true and perfect cure for the Quartane Ague, and to dissolve the melancholie humours, which is done with three Medicines that are rare and marvel∣lous to dissolve any Quartane. The first is, Mercurie Preci∣pitate without corrosive, giving thereof ten grains, with half an ounce of Sugar Rosate, and that day eat little meat; that being done, take a pound of Iva Artetica, and boil it in eight pound of white wine, and common Honey one pound, untill a

third part be consumed, and of that drink morning and eve∣ning six ounces warm one hour after supper: And in the mean time annoint every night his Reins with our Balsamum artificiall. Thus doing thou shalt help any Quartane. I have also found other rare waies to cure this Fever Quartane, as hereafter followeth.
