THree graines of it taken in Wine, cu∣reth the Quartan, and all manner of Agues. Mr Thomas hath cured with it two Patients of the Dropsie, ministring two or three drops, mornings in white Wine; it giveth three or foure stools, penetrating and searching the whole body: It causeth a faintnesse to the Members for an houre or upward, but after that, it restoreth strength unto them; if there be any tumor within,
dissolveth the same by sweat and urine. It disperseth the Hydropick humour diapho∣retically. An excellent remedy for brin∣ging down the Courses, curing the jaun∣dies and Cholick. He used successfully to boyes of three or foure yeares old; also the Quartane and Tertian Ague he prosperously cured with it. It is a rare medicine against the Venereall disease, cured foure such Pa∣tients with it. He cured a woman with it which had the foule disease seventeen years, having had eleven such tumours in the head, two in the arms; these were dissolved only by the oyle of it. The tincture of Antimony is used against the venereall Itch and Scabs. The Patient ought not to come into the air, must be kept warm, and not walking a∣broad. He cured the Scropula, which pos∣ssest the whole Face; thus: He purged the Partie severall times with Vitrum Antimo∣nii: after that, hee caused a decoction to be made of wine, in which was Vincetoxi∣cum, both Centories, Sanicle, and some∣times Pyrola: The potion being strained, he applyed the roots warm in bags, and thus did he restore that Patient.
He restored one Woman with the essence of Antimony, which was troubled with
three and twenty open fores in her Legs, as reliques of the venereall disease.
Phaedro made use of Vitrum Antimonii twice on a most desperate Hectick Feaver. He that maketh use of the essence or of Vi∣trum of Antimony, let him avoid the aire.
He cured a Ploughman with Vitrum of Antimony, which was much molested with corrosions, expelling a great worm, 124 and little ones.
He cured another thus: He ministred un∣to him sixteen times of that Vitrum, who had two hundred holes between the Knee and the Knockle, purging him first downe∣ward, then by vomiting, taking away all the paines, only with calcined Vitrioll, and a mundificative unguent.
This Phaedro hath cured also one that was troubled with the Gout, and another Woman, with the same Antimoniall es∣sence, out of whose skull there grew scales. He cured also two desperate Hectick Fea∣vers, and some that had the Quartan Ague. And so it cureth Imposthumes, and malig∣nant excrescencies, worms, the Gout, vene∣reall paines and tumours, the Hectick Fea∣ver; and the quartan.
