CHAP. IX. Of Impostumes in the throat caused of melancholie humours.

THese Impostumes in throat caused of melancholie humours are hard and crude, and are long before they come to maturation, and you may not in any wise cut them, because the place is full of Muskles, Arteries, Vene capillari, Cartila∣gines, Sinnews, and such like; the which although there come an Impostume there, it shall not hurt them; but if yee cut them with an Instrument you may offend them greatly, and for that cause you may not cut them by any means, but leave it unto Nature, the which will cause it to break, and then use this remedie. First, you shall take our Sirrup against the me∣lancholie humour for twelve daies, continually in the morn∣ing fasting; that done, you shall give him our Pillole Aquilo∣ne, and help the Impostumes with Ʋnguento negro di Godfre∣do di medi, written in the Antidotary of Galen, Cap. 45. for that is miraculous to help those kinds of Impostumes, as I have proved it divers times.
