THe Fever Quartan is caused of melancholie humours, which hath his fit coming every third day, first cold with great thirst, and then cometh the heat, which remaineth with some longer then with other some, and the cause, hereof is hard to be known. Neverthelesse, I seeking out con∣tinually naturall things, and the qualitie of the accidents, I doe find that this Fever beginneth alwaies in some particular
place, as in the head with a certain pain round about it, or in the nose and ear, or in the Reins and Legs: And there∣fore he that can find out the place where first beginneth the accident, may easily help them, because the Fever is dissolved with two things onely, that is, exhalation and exsication, and herein consisteth the secret. The order to make the Exha∣lation shall be thus: Make a Cerot of Frankincense, Pitch, Wax, Turpentine, Myrrh and Aloes, upon the which Ce∣rot you shall put the powder of Cantharides, and then lay it upon the place where they feel the Fever come first, that is on the particular part where the accident cometh, and this you shall change twice, except the first day of the Fever. And to make the exsication, give him every day in the morning to drinke, ℥. di. of our Aquabalsami for twelve daies, and with the Balsamo artificiato annoint every night his Stomack and Reins, and so he shall be helped, giving you charge also that before you use these Medicines, that he take three times our Aromatico, and so he shall be quite helped.
