CHAP. XXXIII. A secret to help all Fevers in their beginning.

VVHen the Fevers are new begun or taken, and that the putrefaction is not yet confirmed, then may it be hel∣ped with great ease, but after they have taken their beginning, they are hardly helped. Therefore when the Fever is new begun, you shall give them ʒii of our Aromatico fasting in the morning: and the next day about the same hour you shall give them ℥. i. of our Ʋegitabile Sirrup: and the third day you shall give them four Drachms of our Electuario angelica with broth, the which taketh away the Fever altogether. And this opera∣tion intendeth onely to the continuall Fever, Quotidian, Ter∣tian, and putrified or pestilentiall, but not to the accidentall, or Hectick, nor Quartane: For these three kinds are much differing from the rest, because the accidentall is caused of another infirmitie anterior or going before. The Fever Hectick

is caused of weaknesse of nature, and the Quartane is caused of great quantitie of melancholicke humours, and they are cured by contrary meanes unto the first. The accidentall are cured with helping the principall infirmitie: The Hectick is cured by helping of Nature, and preserving the Liver and Lungs from putrefaction: The Quartane is cured with Vo∣mits, Unctions, Cerottes, and drying drinks, and these are great secrets to be known: For in this Chapter consisteth a great part of Physick, and Chirurgery if you consider well thereon.
