De morbis fœmineis, the womans counsellour: or, The feminine physitian.: Modestly treating of such occult accidents, and secret diseases, as are incident to that sex, which their too much modesty, too often to their sorrow, causes them to conceal from others, for a remedy whereof, they are here taught to be their own helpers; especially in these particulars: of barrenness and abortion: of natural, and unnatural births: of the suppression of the termes, the immoderate flux thereof, and other infirmities. Dicereque puduit, scribere jussit. With a brief appendix, touching the kindes, causes, and cures of dropsies, and tympanies of all sorts. / Translated out of Massarius de morbis mulier. By R.T. philomathēs.

A Plaister for the same.

Take Confectio benedicta, half an ounce; Turbith, a quarter of an ounce; Nigella seed, three drams; clarified Honey, enough to make it into a Plai∣ster.

This Plaister, is to be applyed over the Privities, as before is directed.

If you perceive the Courses begin to appear, then take this drink follow∣ing.

Take Mugwort, Sene leaves and Penny-royal, of each half a handful; Cinamon, half an ounce; Mace, three drams; boil these altogether in three pints of good Wine, until the fourth part be wasted: boil it in a pot stopt close in boiling water, otherwise cal∣led Balneo Mariae.

In the last place, is to be used fricti∣ons, or often rubbing of the Thighs; and inferiour parts, to draw the hu∣mour downwards, Ligatures or bin∣ding

the Thigh hard with a string, Cupping glasses to be applyed to the Hips and Thighs, and the inferiour parts, both with scarification and without.

Let the sick party beware of all slimy meat, and hard meat, and from all salt, cold binding things, as are hard of digestion: omit ha∣tred, sorrow, and melancholinesse; and alwaies in these cases, begin with the mildest Medicines first: of which you have sufficient before directed. And thus far, for the suppression or stopping of the Terms, we proceed to the ex∣traordinary Flux (an evil also incident to Women) and the remedies there∣of.
