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 Bath for the same.

Take Penyroyal, Mugwort, Rue, of each a handful: Put them into a Bag, and boyl them in Rain-water, a suffi∣cient quantity to make a Bath, boyl it well, & bathe therein twice a day, and renew the Bath every third day, use this for a good space.

You must understand, as I said be∣fore that without the mutual con∣juction of male and female, the natural reception and coagulation of both their Seeds in the Field of gene∣ration the Womb, there can be no natural conception, and so conse∣quently no birth; so that if the impe∣diment

lie in either of the Vessels re∣ceiving, or instruments giving, then these Medicines prescribed, do not work their effect till the obstructive causes be removed, and of them you shall be sufficiently directed, in the subsequent Chapter of barrenness, and the causes thereof; but if the Womb be clean, and the Masculine Instru∣ment proportioned thereunto, so that the defect lie in some debility of nature, let both parties make use of this Confection following; and take of it in the mornings fasting, and they shall seldom fail of their desires.

But take notice by the way, I do not prescribe this to Maids, nor Batche∣lors, they have no use for it.
