The Cure.

When Bleeding comes from the Anastomosis or ope∣ning of the Mouths of the Vessels because it is great, that is first to be treated of, because we did not explain the Cure thereof in other Diseases.

When the Ears bleed from Anastomosis, * 1.1 because it is seldom and from great plenty, it requires no particular Cure, if it be joy∣ned with the bleeding at the Nose, you must first look to that.

If Bleeding at the Nose do good, * 1.2 as when it takes away fulness, or foulness, and stayes a Disease, it must not be hinde∣red, unless it be so often that the strength fail. Otherwise when it doth hurt comming from Heat, Thinness, Force, or the like, if it be immoderate, it must sooner be stopt: if it be little, or without Snot, it is to be regarded. And if it comes from an Ulcer, that is first to be cured.

The best Method to cure it, is to take away the Cause, when it comes often, especially at the time that it flows not, if it come from Plethory, by diminishing the blood, and if it be hot or thin to temper it. But when the blood flows, you must endeavor to draw it from the Nose, and to stop the Passages, and drive it back: which is done by these following.

You must open a Vein in the Arm, on that side that the Nose bleeds, that that blood may follow from the Head into the place of that which is let out, and so be drawn from the Nostril; you must not take much at a time, but stop the Vein, and then bleed a little more, and so by of∣ten stopping and bleeding, the blood will be turned, and the Patient not be weakned.

Scarification is like Blood-letting to attract, but is not so violent, because it draws only at the small Veins in the skin: This is best in the Shoulders and sides of the Neck. Some commend it in parts more remote, as in the Wrists.

Also you may draw blood from the Nose by Horslee∣ches behind the Ears.

Cupping-glasses with a great flame, do drive the blood if often applied, behind the Ears and Shoulders: they are best to the Breasts in Women. And if the right. Nostril bleeds, apply a great Cupping-glass under the right Ribs, and if the left under the left.

Ligatures made with Roulers, or the like to the Arms and Feet, do restrain the violence of the blood running to the Nose, and draw it from the Head, if they be tyed till the Part be red or pained; and this is better in the Fin∣gers and Toes where there is less danger, it is dangerous in the Codds.

Frictions also or violent Rubbings of the Parts do draw down the blood.

We purge, when the Blood is too watery or cholerick, because cholerick blood pricks and provokes, and water makes it flow; and by cleansing the blood in an old Hae∣morrhagy or Bleeding, we have done very much.

We purge with gentle things, for hot and sharp Medi∣cines will inflame the blood after and weaken the Patient; and with things that bind, as Rhubarb, Myrobalans, Juyce and Syrup of Roses, Senna, and the like, or with stronger things mentioned when there is much Choller or water.

We use things that alter which are cold and drying, or thicken the blood, or with some other Property stay the flux.

The Decoction of five leaved Grass, Plantane, Shep∣heard-purse, Solomons Seal, Myrtles, Comfrey, Horse∣tayl, Mousear, Sanicle, Pyrola or Winter-green, and the like, mentioned in Wounds, with Lettice, Water-lillies, Sorrel, and Rose-flowers.

You may make Syrups of the Decoctions of the same, mentioned in Spitting of Blood; and these of Sorrel, Lem∣mons, Pomegranates, Quinces, and Water-lillies.

The Juyces also are good of these and the Plants, men∣tioned in Spitting of Blood, used as there is taught: and with those sour Syrups and Juyces, as Pomegranate-wine and Vinegar, or used for Sauce.

Also the distilled waters of the same Plants, as of Sor∣rel, Water-lillies, and Roses, as there mentioned.

And the Pouder of the Troches there mentioned against Spitting of Blood are good here, or of stronger things then may be given for Diseases in the Breast. As, Take Bole or sealed Earth two drams, Blood-stone, red Coral, each one dram; of Bulls or Dears Horn burnt, half a dram, Pomegra∣nate-flowers and Plantane seed, each one scruple: make a Pouder.

The Conserves are that of Roses which is old, Violets, Water-lillies, Succory, Sorrel, and Comfrey-roots can∣died &c.

Electuaries are made of these Syrups, and Pouders and Conserves, or that for Spitting Blood, that begins; Take old Conserve of Roses, and Violets, &c.

Potions are made of Syrups, Juyces, Waters and Pou∣ders, or you may give those mentioned in Spitting of Blood.

To allay the expulsive Faculty of Nature, you may give Narcoticks, which will be proper, as we shewed in spitting of blood, or Pills of Dogs-tongue, Syrup of Poppies, or the Pouder there mentioned: And other things mention∣ed in the Colick, choosing those which are coolest, and have less hot things, with which they that do correct Nar∣coticks do ill, because they are hot.

You must put Astringents and Dryers into the Nose, or things that bring a Crust by burning a little, or that stop by glewing these, or snuffed up, or put up with the finger like an Oyntment; or are put into a Spunge covered with a Clout, or blown up. They are made as followeth.

Some Plants onely a little bruised may be put up, as Plantane, Horse-tayl, or the Root Shepheard-purse, Yar∣row, Willow herb, and other Astringents: Also Leeks, Basil, Nettles, Bettony, and Rue according to Dioscorides.

Also the Juyces of these Plants.

This following Pouder is good to be blown up, or put up with the white of an Egg, and a little Vinegar, or with a Clout.

Take Frankincense two parts, Aloes one part, make a fine Pouder; Spiders webs, or Touchwood, or Hairs of an Hare may be added, but because you cannot cut Hair so, but it will prick the Nose, you may leave that out.

Another. Take Galls one dram, Juyce of Sloes, Dragons blood, Mummy, each half a dram; Varnish one scruple: make a Pouder.

You may mix it with the former.

A third very strong. Take Bole, Plaister of Paris, each one dram; burnt Vitriol and Allum, each half a dram: make a Pouder.

You may use the Pouder of Troches of Amber.

Asses Dung is commended both dry, and the Juyces with Vinegar, adding the Pouders or Juyces aforesaid, and a little Hoggs Dung, which is as good as that of Asses.

The Ashes of Paper, Raggs, Hares Hair, Cotton, Spunge, Egg-shells, burnt by themselves, or with their Yolks; al∣so of Snails and Froggs: also Soot is very good.

The Blood which flows if it be long stopped, till it clod∣der will stop the Veins. Also the same burnt with Egg∣shells and their Yolks to pouder.

Spiders webbs alone, or mixed Mill dust, and Touch∣wood poudered sine: Also the Down of Willow-flowers, and other Plants, and of white Poplar, and other Down that sticks to Leaves, first steep'd in Vinegar and dryed, thrust into the Nose stop the veins, with the help of the congealed blood.

Also dip Clouts, or Cotton or Silk in Ink, such as they write with, and dry them, and put them into the Nose, or make them into Pouder.

And burnt Vitriol with Orpiment and Asses Dung, and the Juyces aforesaid.

The smell of strong Vinegar, with Camphire, is also good.

That Moss which sticks to old walls and tyles of houses, that is moist and sandy at the Roots, if you hold it to the Nose, and snuff up the scent which is cold and moist, doth stop bleeding at the Nose suddenly when all things fail.

Let him hold cold water in his Mouth, and renew it of∣ten when it grows warm.

There are things outwardly to be applied for stopping of blood at the Nose, which work both by manifest and hidden Qualities.

They which do it manifestly are actually cold, or poten∣tially cold, which allay the Heat of the Blood, and by thickning it, keep it from flowing, and stop the Passages by binding. These are applied to the parts following.

To the sides of the Neck by which the veins and Arte∣tyes ascending to the Head, pass to the inward branches of the Nose, to stop up the blood from flowing thither. And these do good applied to the Temples and Fore-head by cooling and thickning; they are made of the follow∣ing Remedies.

Epithems are made of Water and Vinegar, a Clout be∣ing dipped therein, applying it very cold, with which you may also wet the Face.

You may add the Juyce of Plantane, and to make the Liquor stick better, the white of an Egg beaten or Mil dust, and instead of common water, the distilled water of Plan∣tane or Shepheards-purse, and of other astringent Plants, and of Rose-water: The Juyce of Nettles applied to

the Temples doth also stop Bleeding at the Nose.

Other Applications that stick longer, are thus made. Take Juyce of Plantane four ounces, red or Rose-vinegar two ounces, the Juyce of sour Grapes one ounce and an half, Bole six drams, Dragons blood half an ounce, Pomegranate-peels or flo∣wers, two drams, Wheat flower or Starch, one dram, three Whites of Eggs beaten, apply them with Cotton or a Clout.

Another. Take Galls one ounce, Frankincense, or Ma∣stick and Varnish, each half an ounce; Juyce of Sloes two drams, Blood-stone one dram; mix them with convenient Li∣quor, as Juyce of Plantane, Shepheards purse, Solomons Seal, Blood-wort, or other Astringents, or with Vinegar, and whites of Eggs, or the Infusion of Gum Traganth.

You may add to these other astringent Pouders, as of sealed Earth, Fullers-earth, red Coral, burnt Ivory, Asses Dung, or Swines Dung, Roots of Snakeweed, Cypress∣nuts, Myrtle-seeds.

We shewed in the Cure of Ophthalmy or Redness of the Eyes, Emplasters that keep the Blood from flowing into them, and they are good here. As those that are to be applied to the Fore-head and Temples. Also the com∣mon defensative of Bole there mentioned, which is very good, if two of them be laid to the Jugulars on each side of the Neck.

Oyntments though they are weaker, may be used to these parts of astringent Oyls, as of Roses, Omphacine, Myrtles, Mastick, with the Juyces aforesaid, and Vinegar, and the astringent Pouders.

Or that which is mentioned in Ophthalmy to be used after the defensative.

Cataplasmes of these astringent Herbs whose Juyce we commended, are good, applied to the places aforesaid, to which you may add others mentioned.

Cold things applied to the Stones, because they have many vessels that carry blood, and have great consent with the whol Body (as appears by the change of Constituti∣ons in them that are gelt) do stop the bleeding at the Nose.

If they be washed with a Clout or Spunge dipp'd in cold water or snow-water, because it is less dangerous to the Stones then the Head, or with Vinegar, or the like mentioned.

They do the same applied to the Breasts, because there are also many veins.

Cooling of the Hands and Feet is also good, with Vine∣gar and Water, or wetting the wrists where the Pulses beat, or the Palmes of the Hands and Soales of the Feet therewith: Or hold Flints or Iron in the Hands, or the like, or apply Plates of Lead to the Feet.

The same do well under the Arm-pits, because the veins meet there. Or,

Plung the whol Body in cold water except the Head, to cool the blood; this is good for strong people in hot weather, but not for weak.

You must apply things that are potentially cold to the Liver to cool the Blood, especially if the Liver be very hot.

As those Epithems which are mentioned in the Cure of the Inflammation of the Liver, and of continual putrid Feavers; and the Oyntments there mentioned.

These following Amulets are said to cure the Bleeding at the Nose by an occult Quality, if hang'd about the Neck, or held in the Hands, so that they touch not the na∣ked flesh.

Beads are thus used, made of precious Stones chiefly the Jasper, the Cornalian or Coral. These about the Neck cool the jugulars and soporal Arteries, and stanch blood.

The touching and wearing of some Plants is good, Per∣wincle, Shepheards-purse, Snakeweed-roots, Moss of a dead Man Skull, and of Box-tree.

They say the Carpe-stone held in the Mouth being cold stops bleeding at the Nose; it is thought to be a square Grisle between the Head of the Carpe, and the first spon∣dil partly Bone, partly Grisle, and therefore it is found in the Palate. But there is another stone found in the brain of a Carpe near his Eye, like a half Moon harder then that is found in other Fishes as the Perch; Beads made of the Stones mentioned, cooled in water as they grow hot, held in the Mouth or applied. The Root of Perwinkle and of Dandelion held under the Tongue doth the same.

Nettles put under the Cap will stop bleeding at the Nose, also if the Fore-head be anointed with the Juyce thereof.

Also Perwincle with Salt, or Niter or Vitriol beaten and applied to the Head or Fore-head.

Because Imagination doth much, I shall tell you what some say, viz. That if you write with the Blood upon the Fore-head, It is finished, it shall stop. I shall omit the o∣ther as superstitious and wicked.

The Diet must be as followeth, because some things hurt, and others do good.

Let him be in cold Air rather then hot, not too light or near the Sun-shine, because it tickleth the Nose, and moves the expulsive Faculty to neesing; as also strong Scents; the vulgar think that beholding the Blood or red Colours doth also provoke bleeding; but this may be from Imagination.

Let his Meat be such as keeps the blood from being thin, gross and glutinating, of young Beasts feet well boy∣led, and the like, green Cheese, but a little salted, Rice, Bar∣ley, and binding Fruits, as Quinces, Pears, and cooling Pot-herbs, Endive, Lettice, Purslane boyled and crude in Sallets: Let him take heed of spices and salt.

Let him drink water and not wine, except the strength fail. And though he cannot abstain from wine, that is ve∣ry subject to bleeding: let him beware of Drunkenness. And let his wine not be strong, but red and mixed with water, and somwhat sharp.

Rest is good, for Motion will cause the flux to increase, therefore let the parts especially near the Nose be at rest. Let him not speak much or loud; and not chew violently any hard thing.

Let himly with his Face upwards, his Head backwards, that the Blood may go back, and it will do good, provi∣ded the blood fall not into his Mouth, or descend farther which is worse.

A sudden Commotion or Passion of the Mind draws the blood in, and stops it. This you may do by a fright, if his strength will bear it. Fainting and Swounding doth it better, and presently stops Bleeding. But this we shal not advise to be forced because of the Danger. But when it comes of it self from an over bleeding, we have observed that it hath often stopped the blood.

Bleeding at the womb which is Natu∣ral to Women, * 1.3 if it be somwhat too vio∣lent, because some Bodies require more, some less, if it cause no Distemper, is not rashly to be stopped. But if you fear Diseases as Dropsies, then you must stop in time. And as if the Terms flow more violently and oftner then usual; Or when they have long been stopped with a swelling in the belly, they break out violently in great quantity, and with great weakness and danger of life. Or if the purging after Birth be too great, especially after Abortion, which is no less dangerous. That Flux which women have in age when their Courses have lest them is preternatural, and cannot continue without harm, must be also stopped, and the rather if it be large, often, and of long Continuance. That bleeding which comes from external violence, especially from Copulation, if it be at the loss of Maiden-head, because it is not much, and hurts not, and is a good sign is not regarded, especially if the Terms come the sooner for it. But if it be great and from some great hurt, either at the first or other Copula∣tions, it must be stopped.

That bleeding which comes from the tearing of the neck of the Bladder in a woman when a Stone is taken out, re∣quires no other Cure but that of other wounds.

The Cure of all Bleedings at the Womb is by Evacuati∣on of blood, and turning it from the womb, with things that make it more pure, thicker, and less flowing, and stop the places by which it is carried thither. Or that act by a hidden Property, you must proceed according to the cause with some of these, as considering whether it came by vio∣lent use of hot and sharp Meats, the violent Motions of Body or Mind.

Blood-letting is good to prevent it in those that are sub∣ject to it, if it be in the Arm, and in women with Child, if they formerly had the same in Child-birth, for it hath bin so often used to the same woman, being full of blood and hath not taken the Nourishment from the Child, as some suppose.

In the time of the Flux to drive it back, it is good to o∣pen a Vein in the Arm, or Hand or other place above, not below, for in the Foot it provokes the Terms. And you must take a little at a time and by degrees, for much will weaken.

Great Cupping-glasses, or many little ones are applied under the breasts to draw up the blood, because the Veins there, and of the womb consent. And they may also be applied to the right side, and to the shoulders. Frictions of the extream parts, are here also good.

If water in the blood causeth it to be fluid, you must sweat often in dry baths before the flux to prevent, but in the flux it will heat and move the Humors, and do more hurt then good.

If there be Water and Choler in the blood which cau∣seth the flux, you must purge them away. But this is bet∣ter to prevent before the flux comes from them; you may use the stronger Medicines, which you cannot well do in the flux, because it would more weaken, and inflame the body, and by moving it, increase the Flux.

And then if the belly be bound, use gentle Lenitives, that leave an Astriction, as Rhubarb, Myrobalans, and the like, mentioned in Dysenteries.

And this Potion. Take Tamarinds and stoned Prunes, each six drams; yellow Myrobalans half an ounce: boyl them in Water and the third part Wine, and when it is strained, in∣fuse half a dram of Rhubarb, of Spikenard one scruple, strain them, and add Syrup of red Roses dryed one ounce, give it at once. It will work better with a little Senna, and not stir up Nature much, because the Juyce being taken out by Decoction, is very like the Juyce of Rhubarb, and of Saf∣fron Colour, by which we gather that it doth not differ in strength: And because it is used as Rhubarb in many dis∣eases from Choler.

Or this. Take yellow Myrobalans poudered two drams, infuse them in red Wine, with one scruple of Spike, strain them, add Syrup of Roses solutive one ounce, Rhubarb finely poudered two scruples, or a dram, give it at one dose.

Half an ounce of Tryphera Persica taken doth the same, because it hath many astringents, and things that allay the heat of the blood.

It is not safe to give other hot and sharp Compositions which have Scammony, or Agarick, or Turbith, in a great flux, because by pricking, they force the Terms.

We give things that alter which thicken the blood, and allay its heat, and bind the Passages, and stop it. Many whereof have been mentioned in the Bleeding at the Nose, and Spitting blood which are good here, but these are chiefest that follow.

Let them eat things that breed thick blood, of Flower of Bread-corns, and Pot-herbs of glutinating flesh, and green Cheese; to which they add sour Milk, and Eggs, and the like, mentioned in immoderate Pissing.

Let them use astringent Fruits crude or boyled, or di∣vers Sauces made hereof, as Quinces, Pears, Services, Cor∣nel-berries, Medlars, Mul-berries, Black-berries, Sloes, Straw-berries, Currance, Myrtles.

Of Pot-herbs, Purslane, Lettice, Endive, Succory, Sor∣rel, Plantane; boyled in broath, or raw in Sallets: to which you may add other plants, mentioned in the Decoction which tast less like Physick.

Let him drink Decoctions often, and if they must be kept, boyl them to Syrups.

The best ordinary Syrups are of Myrtles, and red Roses dryed.

Or this Decoction. Take Comfrey roots one ounce, Plan∣tane with the Roots, Shepheards-purse, Yarrow, each one hand∣ful; red Rose flowers one pugil, Pomegranate flowers two drams, Myrtle and Plantane seeds, each one dram; boyl them in Rain-water, add to the straining, as much Sugar as will make a Potion for three doses, or boyl it to a Syrup with Sugar.

Decoctions may be made of divers others, mentioned in Bleeding at the Nose, as of Herbs for the vulnerary or wound-drink, of Winter-green, Agrimony, Horse-tayl, Sanicle, wild Tansey, Moufear, Comfrey, Solomons-seal, Straw-berries, Bears-ear, Sumach, Shepherds rod, Lung∣wort, Blood-wort, Burnet, Sorrel, Purslane, Moon-wort, wild Basil, Mints, Arsmart, Phoenice, Rock-Comfrey, flo∣wer, Leaves and Roots, Myrtle leaves, Mastick leaves, O∣live leaves, Oak leaves, Brambles; also Roots of Avens, Ras-berries, Water-lillies, Sulphur-wort, Sanders, Brasil, Lote-tree, Olive-tree, Pomegranate-peels, Roses, Grapes,

The Indian Milium-flower gentle.

Some Juyces are given, either crude or boyled to a sy∣rup, as those of sour Fruits, Quinces, Pomegranates, Cur∣rance, Bar-berries. These Juyces with Sugar may be set in the Sun, and so they will have a tast and scent like wine. These Juyces are made into Lozenges with Sugar, and are very delicate, with Rose and Plantane water and the like. And instead of these, you may use other sour Juyces, as of Citrons &c.

You may likewise use the Juyce of some plants by them∣selves or boyled, as of Plantane, Sorrel, Purslane made in∣to Syrups; and of Shepheards-purse, and Yarrow; and as Dioscorides teacheth, the Juyce of Water-bettony, and Goats-beard, and Arsmart.

Waters simple or mixed, are of Plantane, red Roses, Shepheards-purse, Purslane, Sorrel, and the like above∣said.

Some approve the water of Snails: and that wherein I∣ron is quenched.

Mucilaginous or slimy things also, as whites of Eggs, Mucilage of Quince-seeds, Gum Traganth &c.

The old Conserve of Roses, and Tablets of Pouder of red Roses, with Sugar candied, or conserved Comfrey∣roots; also the Conserve of Peach-flowers: or others of Sorrel, or of the Plants mentioned.

These following Troches may be taken with sugar of Roses, or with wine and water, or in Electuaries, or Po∣tions.

The troches of Amber, thus made. Take Amber, Gum Arabick, Traganth, Mastick, Frankincense, Lacca, Acacia, or Juyce of Sloes, burnt Harts horn, Coral, Pomegranate-flo∣wers, black Poppy-seeeds, Saffron and Mucilage of Fleabane.

Instead of which you may make these pouders follow∣ing, as this of Plants. Take of the Leaves of Plantane or Agrimony, or Horstayl, Myrtles, or Oak, Roses, Pomegra∣nate flowers, each one dram; Seeds of Plantane, Sorrel, or Docks, Purslane, Coriander prepared, Cummin torrefied, each half a dram; Cypress-nuts, Galls, Myrtle-berries, Bar-ber∣ries, Sumach, Pomegranate and Grape Kernels, each one drams; Hazle-nuts, Ches-nuts or Acorns, each one scruple; red San∣ders, Cypress-nuts, each half a dram; Spike half a scruple, A∣cacia, Gum Arabick, Frankincense, Mastick, Dragons blood,

There are divers Mixtures of the aforesaid, as Juleps, Waters with Syrups, or Potions, Decoctions, Pouders, E∣lectuaries, Conserves, Syrups.

You may make pills of those that are unpleasant, that they may be the better taken, or of prepared Steel or Iron quenched in Vinegar, not in Aqua fortis, as Crocus Martis is made, though some say this makes women bar∣ren: Also of dryed Goats dung. To which you may add other things, and with Syrup convenient, make pills.

Some women say this is experienced, you must swol∣low nine turds of the greater sort of Mice.

Also things mentioned for the Haemorrhoids are good here, as pills of Bdellium, Micleta, Electuary of Myrtle-berries, or the Consection of Rhasis, made of Filings of Iron.

Narcoticks stop the Terms as well as other Fluxes, and because they provoke sleep (which stops all fluxes but Sweating,) they are good. You must give those Compo∣sitions that have Opium besides the things that stop blood, as Troches of sealed Earth, of Amber, with Opium, and Diacodium Galeni, Philonium Persicum, and others that have Terra Samia, Lemnia, Bole, Coral, Starch, Juyce of Sloes, pomegranate flowers, Juyce of plantane, with Hen∣bane seeds and Opium. There are other Narcoticks, as Syrup of poppies, the Decoction of poppy topps and the like, mentioned for the Colick, with things which stay fluxes, as Syrup of Myrtles, Bole, Acacia, it is good to give one scruple of Henbane seeds with some of the same, or as in the Spitting of Blood. Some give poppy seeds instead thereof.

Outwardly you may stop the blood with Oyntments and Applications to the Reins and privities.

Anoint them with Oyl of Roses, Myrtles, Quinces, Mastick.

Or Oyl wherein sour and unripe Fruits have been boy∣led, as pears, Sloes, Medlars, Cornil, and Service-berries, or Juyce of plantane, Shepheards-purse, Solomons-seal, Leaves of Brambles, Oaks, adding red Vinegar as much as Oyl.

Some think that Stupefactives to the womb are good, as Oyls that do take away sense, as Narcoticks, and so they stop Fluxes, and not by cooling. Oyl of Henbane or the like, wherein Opium is dissolved, or Barks of Man∣draks, and the like.

Of Oyntments, that of the Countess is the best, made of these following boyled in Plantane-water, as inward rinds of Acorns, Chesnuts, Beans, Celandine, Snakeweed, or Tormentil roots, Horstayl, Capars, Sloes, Medlars, A∣corn cupps, Galls, Myrtle-berries, Grape stones, with Galls, Ashes of Ox bones, Troches of Amber, Oyl of Myrtles and Wax.

The usual Oyntments are of Roses, that cooleth the Reins. Such take away the Heat from the Blood which is sent plentifully from the Emulgents to the Kidneys, and so stop the Flux.

Also the Plaister against the Rupture, applied before and behind to the Region of the Womb.

Or this Oyntment. Take Bistort, or Snakeweed, Tor∣mentil, Galls, Acorn cupps, Cypress-nuts, Pomegranat peels, each one dram and an half; Pomegranate flowers, Myrtle-berries, Grape kernels, Acacia, each one dram; Dragons blood half a dram, Bole one dram and an half, red Coral one dram, Mastick two drams, with Oyl of Roses or the like, in which Vinegar hath been boyled, and with Wax make an Oyntment, or with Rosin and Pitch an Emplaster.

You must use Fomentations about the Privities, or baths to sit in, of the Decoction of these, Roots of Snakeweed, Tormentil, five leaved Grass, Acorus, Comfrey, Pome∣granate peels, Plantane, Shepheards-purse, Solomons-seal, Brambles, Horstayl, Sumach, Mullein, Tamarisk, Sage, Mints, red Roses, Pomegranates, Galls, Acorn-cupps, Cypress-nuts, Myrtles-berries, Sumach, Sloes, Acacia and other sour Fruits, and if stronger is required, burnt Chalk, Bole, Allum, or Vitriol: boyl them in Iron-water, or red Wine, and a little Vinegar.

An Epithem to be laid to the part, is made of Plan∣tane-water, and Shepheards-purse two parts, and one of Vinegar, it is good also laid to the Soles of the Feet with a Spunge, as also Allum boyled in Vinegar.

Apply this Cataplasm. Take Plantane, Shepheards-purse, Rupture-wort, Mints, each one handful; boyl them in red Wine, beat them, add Lentil meal half a pound, Goats, As∣ses, or Hoggs dung dryed two ounces, Juyce of Sloes half an ounce, Dragons blood, Frankincense, each two drams, burnt Chalk and Bole, each one ounce: mix them with the white of an Eg, and Vinegar, and apply them to the Region of the womb, or with Oyl of Roses and Myrtles.

Things put into the womb, do well to stop the Mouths of the Menstrual Veins if they be open: also Injections are good if the Flux come from the bottom of the womb, for their vertue will reach thither.

They are made of the Decoction mentioned for a Fo∣mentation; Or of the Juyce of Plantane, Shepheards∣purse, Yarrow, Horstayl, Solomons-seal, with the like.

Or this. Take of the Decoction or Juyce of the Plants mentioned one pint, ad Juyce of Sloes, or sour Grapes six drams, Dragons blood two drams, Bole half an ounce, the red Juyce which is taken from Grinding of a Blood-stone half an ounce, Asses or Hoggs dung two drams: make an Injection, it is better with a little Vitriol.

Pessaries are made of the Oyntment of the Countess, or the Linaments mentioned with wool: Or of the Plants mentioned, as Plantane in a bag.

Or thus. Take Galls one ounce and an half, Acorn-cups one ounce, Starch, Roots of Snakeweed, or Tormentil, each half an ounce, Pomegranate flowers, Myrtle seeds, each two drams, Frankincense three drams, Acacia, Dragons blood, each two drams, Blood-stone one dram: pouder them finely, and with the White of an Egg, Juyce of Plantane, and Vinegar make a Pessary.

Or, Take Pomegranate peels one ounce and an half, Cypress Nuts one ounce, Meal of Lentils, Roots of Docks, each half an ounce; red Roses and Sumach-berries, each two drame; Ma∣stick three drams, Mummy and Juyce of Sloes, each one dram and an half; Gum Arabick one dram, Bole or Oaker half an ounce, Allum or Vitriol one dram, dryed Goats dung two drams mix them in pouder, with the Infusion of Gum Traganth, with Juyce of sour Grapes, or Wine-Lyes for a Pessary.

You may add astringent and drying Pouders, of Roots and Herbs, Ashes of an Oak, Down of Willow flowers, and the like, the pulp of Wolves fat, Spiders webbs, Hares dung, Rust of Iron, Coral, Troches of Amber, of sealed Earth, with Micleta.

It is experienced by some Women that a Pessary made of hot ashes, and hot red Wine, with Juyce of plantane cureth: but one spoyled her privities by applying it too hot.

Let her take this Fumigation from the hot Decoction. Take of Frankincense and Mastick, each two drams; Labda∣num one dram, Amber, Cypress-nuts, red Roses, Pomegranate-flowers, each half a dram; Spike one scruple, with Gum A∣rabick infused in Rose-water, make troches.

Also the Fumes of an Asses or Horses hoof, Shoe-soles, and burnt Harts horn, with Frankincense and Mastick to make them smell sweet.

Also the Fume of Vinegar from a hot Iron.

Also the Vapors that comes from a piece of green Oak warmed hot, and sprinkled with Vinegar, put between the Leggs.

Things also applied to the Liver when it is too hot, and weak, as Oyntments, Cerots, and cooling things that strengthen it, are good, as in bleeding at the Nose, and In∣flammation of the Liver, especially that Cerot of San∣ders.

These Amulets stop blood, hung about the Neck, or held in the Hands, as Blood-stone, red Coral, Corneli∣ans, Onyx, Jasper; also the great Celandine, wild tan∣sey, Sorrel, perwinkle, tyed to the Leggs and Thighs. Eggs beaten, and Cotton dipped therein, tyed to the Soles of the Feet, and renewed when they are dry.

The Flux of the Haemorrhoids, though it be troublesom at the first, * 1.4 yet must it not be stopped, because it cureth many dangerous Diseases, and prevents others.

But if it do weaken by being too large, too often, or too long, then you must moderate and stop it. And it is done by Evacuations and Alteratives, as the terms over-flowing are cured.

There are divers Evacuations, and Blood-letting is good when it abounds in the Meseraick Veins, and though the blood comes not from them, because they reach not to the skin, but because the hollow Vein is emptied thereby, and then takes blood from the Meseraicks, it must be good. Especially if it be taken in great quantity from the Arm or Hand, or from the Legg or Foot, by which means the flux will not be provoked as in the terms, because these Veins are not continued from the Haemorrhoids, as from the Menstrual Veins, and therefore it will rather stop by Re∣vulsion then increase the Flux.

Scarifications, Cupping-glasses, Frictions, although they cause Revulsion in other fluxes, when the blood comes from the branches of the hollow vein, yet in this they do no good, because they can neither draw the blood from the hollow vein, or from the Meseraick, you may purge when the Body is bound, least straining provoke them, with Laxatives mentioned in want of Stools. You may also purge the Humors, if the Haemorroids flow frym too much Choller in the Meseraicks, or the like, to pre∣vent when any are subject to them, and to hinder yellow, or black Choller which is made of the yellow, and not of blood; this is best before the Flux, when those Excrements lying in the first passages, are sooner carried into th e Guts.

Nor must you neglect purging, when the Haemorroids flow, to keep the Excrements from increasing the Flux, with such things which stir up Nature to stool, and yet provoke not the Haemorrhoids or Pills, with gentle things that leave a binding, and not with strong and hot. But such as are mentioned in the over-flowing of the terms, as Rhubarb, Myrobalans, Syrup of Roses, and the like, also Tryphera persica.

Then we proceed to alter, with things that thicken, as∣swage, and stop, as in the immoderate terms.

Many things may be used here, as in the terms, as those Meats which make thick blood, and make it less hot and cholerick, by which the blood in the Meseraicks will be more temperate, and flow less.

The Medicines there mentioned are good here, as the Decoctions, Syrups, Juyces, Conserves, pouders, Mix∣tures, whose vertue going by the Guts to the Meseraicks and Haemorrhoids, which joyn to the Guts, doth sooner worke then in any other Flux.

Micleta is also good, made of parched Myrobalans, Pomegranate-flowers, Water-cresse feeds, Cummin, Anise, Fennel, Ameos, Caraway seeds steeped in Vinegar, the Medicine used for Spodium called Antispodium, Mastick, Gum Arabick, pouder of Sumach, Syrup of Myrtles.

Also Electuaries of Myrtle-berries, Myrobalans, Anise, Cummin, Smallage seeds steeped in Vinegar and Syrup of Quinces.

Also the Confection of scales of Iron of Rhasis, of My∣robalans, Schaenanth, Cypress, Ginger, Pepper, Ammi, Frankincense, scalls of Iron.

And chiefly pills of Bdellium, Amber, Sea-snails, Am∣meos seeds, and Juyce of Leeks, and others of Myroba∣lans only, and Bdellium, with Rust of Iron.

Narcoticks are good, if the expulsive Faculty be stirred up too much to stupifie it, they are mentioned in the over∣flowing of the terms.

Outwardly these are applied to shut the Veins of the Fundament.

You must foment with Decoctions made of Mullein, which is specifical and proper, boyled in red wine, and I∣ron-water.

To which you may add things mentioned in the over∣flowing of the terms.

As Cataplasms there mentioned, or the Fomentation, with Hog-fennel, and Perwincle.

Or this following easie to be made. Take Mullein, Plantane, Oak leaves, each one handful, Housleek, or Night∣shade one pugil; boyl them in red Wine, and Iron-water, ad Oyl of Myrtles one ounce and an half. make a Cataplasm.

You may add the pulp of Quinces, Medlars, and of o∣ther astringent Fruits.

Also apply Oyntments, Cerots, and Plaisters to the Fundament, as the Oyntment of the Countess, plaister for Ruptures.

Or this: Take Snakeweed roots two drams, Galls half an ounce, Frankincense two drams, Acacia, or Dragons blood one dram and an half, Bole half an ounce, Rust of Iron two drams, make a fine Pouder, and add Oyl of Roses Omphacine, or Myrtles, or Oyls in which the Juyces of Mullcin, Plantane, Shepheards-purse, Sparrow tongue, or Brambles, or Basil, with red Vinegar have been boyled, and with Wax makè an Oynt∣ment, or Cerot, or with Rosin, an Emplaster.

There is another Oyntment or Plaister which is good here, and the dripping of a roasted Eel, is excellent there∣with.

This plaister is stronger without Oyl, take those pou∣ders, with Amber, and the White of an Egg, or Mucilage, of Fleabane seeds, or Infusion of Gum Traganth, in plan∣tane-water, and let it be applied and renewed before it be too dry: Or to keep them from drying, mix them with Syrup of Myrtles, or other Astringents.

Mix also other pouders if you please, as of the Stones of Myrobalans, burnt Spunge, Hedg-hogs, Chesnuts, Ashes of Hare-foot, Mummy, Amber, Mastick, burnt Harts-horn, Eggs and shells, Ceruss, Antimony, Lytharge, Bloodstone &c. also Soote of a Chimney.

This plaister stops it excellently. Take Aloes, Fran∣kincense, Bole or Chalks each half a dram, Dragons blood, or Juyce of Sloes two drams: mix them with Syrup aforesaid, and apply often renewing it, least it should stick too fast.

Things are put into the Fundament to close the Veins, as those Oyntments and plaisters with Cotton, or Spunge, or the pessaries, mentioned in the flowing of the terms.

And if these come forth by their sharpness, use these sup∣positories. Take Colophony, Frankincense, each three drams; Bole half an ounce, Ceruss, burnt Lead, each one dram; A∣caeia half a dram, pouder them finely, and with the White of an Egg, or other Glew or Wax, make a Suppository.

The Mush-room called Wolfes-fart, being dryed and poudered fine is good; also Spiders webbs, and Hares hair.

You may inject with a Syringe, with things made of plantane, or the like, mentioned in the Flux of the terms

Mans blood, or other Blood injected, doth wonderfully stop the flux of the belly. Sheeps Lungs hot applied to the Fundament, is also good to stop Bleeding.

Also a Fume of Decoction of things mentioned, taken into the Fundament, and of Bdellium, and things mentio∣ned in the Dysentery.

Also if the Vein appears, when the Patient straineth, you may apply strong astringents, as Bole, burnt Allum, Vitri∣ol, and the like, or things that burn a little, when there is Necessity, but warily, least you hurt the strait Gut, as the Pouder of Roots of Cabbage, Dogs dung, burnt Wine-Lyes, burnt Vitriol. It is an excellent Remedy to touch the Vein with Oyl of Vitriol, or in great Desparation with Aqua fortis. It is dangerous and unprofitable to use o∣ther potential Cauteries, because they cannot stick long. But the actual Cautery, is the onely last Remedy with a touch.

Also if you take up the vein with a forceps, and sew it with silk.

You must apply cooling Oyntments that strengthen to the Liver and Spleen, when they are too hot, because the Meseraicks are in them: such as are mentioned in the In∣flammation of the Liver.

The Leaves of black Hellebore, green, and bruised, and tyed on, like a Girdle next the skin, and renewed when they are dry, do cure this flux, as well as the terms, and flux after birth.

The Cure of bleeding is different accor∣ding to the divers parts and veins. * 1.5

If blood flow from the adnate tunicle of the Eye being hurt, or from a wound: the Cure is mentioned in the hurt of the Eye.

If blood flow from the Ears, from hurt by things put therein, it is treated of in the Wounds of the Ears: if from a Contusion in the Head, that must be first cured, because it is most dangerous.

If blood come from the Yard by a Catheter put in, or by the passing of a Stone through; it is not worth the Cure, but if Heat of Urin follow, or there be fear of an Ulcer, that is to be prevented with things mentioned in their proper place.

Bleeding of the Neck of the Bladder in a Woman, from the taking out of a Stone, requires no other Cure but to asswage the pain, as in other wounds, for it will cease of it self.

If the Privities bleed from hard travail or violent Copu∣plation, you must cure it as other bleeding at the part by Anastomosis. If the Haemorrhoids bleed from sending forth, or taking in any thing, you must cure it as formerly mentioned. But if it bleed little, you must respect the wound more then the bleeding. But if the terms flow at the Fundament from a fistulated Ulcer which pierceth the strait Gut, it is to be cured as a Fistula.

You must cure bleeding of wounds in the external parts according to the part wounded. * 1.6

If it be from the skin taken off, it is not worth the Cure; for it will cease of it self, or with little trouble. Also it is easie to stop a vein, either opened by art, or broken. But if a great vein be cut, or an Artery, it is hard to be stopped; if the Arte∣ry be small, for I have known a great flux of blood not to be stopped from the tearing of a small Artery, at the draw∣ing of a tooth, and one dyed thereof. And the reason was because the Artery lay so deep, that the medicines could not be conveighed to it. And therefore in wounds they hurt the internal part, because it is dangerous to fill up the Cavities with medicines, in which the blood lyeth, it is impossible. In other wounds though great, and with a great flux, yet is blood easily stopped, because medicines may be applied. In the stoppage of all which we proceed as followeth.

We revel or draw back the blood from the part whence it flows, and turn it another way to abate its force: By Letting blood, Scarifying, Cupping, Ligatures, Frictions, as in other fluxes. And that in the remote parts from that which bleeds, if we intend Revulsion, or in the adjacent part, if we intend Derivation.

We hinder the flowing of blood to the part, by applying upon the Passage of the Veins not far from the womb, Epi∣thems, Unguents, Plaisters, which may bind the Passages, and cool the Blood, and repel or drive back, and thicken: such as were mentioned in other fluxes, as of the Nose, to the sides of the Neck of the Eyes, to the Fore-head and Temples.

For the same you may cut off the Vein first above, ope∣ning the skin gently, and laying the vein bare, and bind∣ing it at both ends, that it go not back, but this is not to be done but at last, and when all fail.

Or when the Vein is bare, bind it till it cease.

We stop Veins with Astringents and Causticks, by Li∣gatures we do not only keep things on that are applied, but hinder the flux; these Ligatures are to be made as we shewed in the Cure of Wounds.

Surgeons usually stop Blood with a Bolster of Lint, and good Ligature only.

Bleeding is also stanched by pressing the wound if nar∣row, with the finger, by which means the blood stopped congeals about the wound, and hinders the flux.

We keep it from flowing, by keeping up the wounded part above the rest.

Also by stuffing it if deep, we stop or restrain it, this is done with soft Lint. And if things be added that will al∣so stanch blood, it will be the better, as these following.

Spiders webs thrust into small wounds of the skin, be∣cause being light and thin, they get into every part, and stop the blood, not so much by drying as by filling the part, and glutinating the Lips, by help of the blood which grows hard, and these are better with Mill-dust.

The Down of Flowers and Fruits, and Cotton, or Lint, with Hares hair, are good with Plaisters that stanch blood, but without well cleansed, if put into small wounds.

The round Mush-room or Fuzball, being very light, laid upon the vein, or thrust into the wound, sticks close, and keeps the Blood from flowing, especially mixed with other Pouders, or Plaisters.

The spungy skin in old Trees between the Bark, or Touch-wood laid upon small wounds, is also good.

Also a Spunge laid on, or thrust in, if the wound be large; And if the Artery be dilated as in an Aneurism o∣pened, and bleed; because it requires large stuffing, a Spunge is good; yet the flux was so great, and the Ori∣fice so large, that the Spunge would do no good to one Man, but he bled to Death of an Aneurisin opened.

There are divers things laid upon the part: first such as dry, bind, and glew, as the Pouders alone, or with Lint, or the like, or with Glew like a Plaister, either laid upon the Vein or Artery, or upon the wounds, or put in when it is deep, and bound on, for divers dayes, till the fear of bleeding is over, and then after gentle moistning taken off. Also if the wounds be deep, a Plaister is put in. And when it is after cutting off an Arm or Legg, let the pouders be put into a Bladder, and laid on, and the Bladder tyed fast about. Those Plaisters were mentioned in the Cure of Wounds, and they are to be applied at first to stop the flux, and heal the wound. As that of three parts of Bole and Frankincense &c. to glew the lips of the wound; and to heal them, as that with Frankincense and Myrrh; or that of Galen, which is one part Aloes, two parts Frankincense, with the White of an Egg, and Hairs of an Hare; and others there mentioned, beginning thus. Take Galls &c. Or, Take Colophony &c. Some that are mentioned against Fluxes in the Eyes, are good here, as that which begins thus. Take Mastick, Frankincense, &c. Or, Take Bole half an ounce, Sanguis Draconis &c. without Oyl of Roses. Also Pouders of burnt things, ashes of Froggs, Worms, Asses or Horses dung, Eg-shells, Spunge, Rags, Cotton, Paper, Nettles. Also Soote,

burnt Blood, Rosin poudered, Gum Arabick, and Tra∣ganth parched. Also Blood-stone, Stibium, burnt Lead. Also other fat Earths besides Bole. And Downs mention∣ed; of Flowers and Fruits, as that in the shells of Ches∣nuts, or Cotton, Down, or Lint: All which mixed with the Pouders mentioned for Plaisters, and incorporated with the things mentioned, may be applied like a Plaister. Or you may apply the pouders with the Juyce of Plants, as of Plantane, Solomons-seal, Shepheards-purse, or Blood made into a past, with some Glew or Rosin to make it stick.

There are other Fumes, as that which we saw stopped presently, the blood of a Theif that had both his Hands cut off; It was thus made: The Wife of the Executioner put the wrist where the hand was cut off into a Hen, in which she had made a large Orifice about the Rump, and tyed her with the feathers to the part, and so he lived till he was brought to Execution without any great loss of blood. And this Course have I taken often with good success, when fingers have been cut off.

This remedy may be used in other parts, by tying it fast upon the part, when it is cut or slit in the middle, whether it be Hen or Chickin, or the Lungs of a Sheep bleeding, or other fresh Entrals; such as we prescribed for the Cure of a Phrensie.

Also Mans blood, or other blood hot, and mixed with Bran to a past, may do the same.

A Linnen-clout three or four times doubled and dip∣ped in Frogs-spawn when squeesed, will surely stop blood: and it is usual to keep Clouts dipp'd in the Spawn of Froggs at the time of the year, for the same purpose.

The last remedies are Causticks, which cause an Eschar, and stop the Blood.

Burnt Vitriol is the best, or Copperas what Colour so∣ever it is of; or burnt upon a hot Iron till it be red, which the Chymists call Colcothar, with burnt Allum, and burnt Tartar, or Wine-Lyes. Or if you will have it burn more, a little Arsenick, or Sublimate, which you may apply with the White of an Egg, and a little Lint.

Quick-lime poudered doth the same, which you may make of more force with the other.

Somtimes we add other astringents, which allay their violence, and by straitning the part, stop the blood, as that pouder for healing Plaisters for Wounds, which be∣gins thus. Take burnt Bones &c. also Vitriol, and burnt Allum. Also things which are used to take down proud flesh, which begins thus. Take burnt Allum three drams, Pomegranate-flowers &c. Or, Take Vitriol half an ounce, Allum &c. especially the corroding pouder there menti∣oned.

The Spirit of Vitriol dipp'd in Cotton, and applied to the Vein, doth astringe and somwhat burn; which if it ly deep, must be stopped in, as you do for an hollow tooth.

Aqua fortis doth it more powerfully, so applied, and burns more. Of which sprinkled upon filings of Iron, you may make Crocus Martis from the yellow Colour so cal∣led; which you may use for the same.

Clouts wet in Vinegar or Steel-water, wherein the Phy∣sical Stone hath been quenched, and dryed. Or in Aqua fortis, or Oyl of Vitriol often dryed and wet, will do the same.

The actual Cautery is the last, which will presently stop Blood, if you can touch the Veins or Arteries. This is done with a hot Iron proportioned to the wound, either small pointed, or flat, or with a round bottom, for great wounds: such as are used in Disinembring. But this is done with small success, especially when the amputation or cutting off is in a thick fleshy part, because the burn∣ing reacheth not to the Veins, but only to the flesh. And by this lingering before the Plaister is put on, there is a great loss of Blood; and the new pain which comes after the pain of amputation, doth much weaken the Patient.

If you thrust the remaining part of a finger cut off into melted Pitch, and presently pull it out, it will stop Blood, not only by the burnining of the wound, but by the stick∣ing of the Pitch thereon, which will grow hard, and stop the Veins. And this you may do in other parts.

If you lay Cotton upon the wound, and set it on fire, it will by the flame insinuating into the wound stop wonder∣fully, and the rather if it be dipped first in Oyl of St. Johns∣wort.

You may stanch Blood by Potions which we use for the Cure of Wounds, for they thicken the Blood by a drying vertue, which healeth, and also stoppeth the Flux, especi∣ally if you mix things proper to stop blood. As that Potion for a wound from a Contusion, which is chiefly used for to dissolve blood congealed, which begins thus. Take Mum∣my &c. to which to stop bleeding, you may add Bole, sea∣led Earth, Dragons blood, Sperma Ceti &c. or the like.

Many other things which are given against bleeding at the Nose and Womb, may be applied here while it lasteth. Which will be most proper when the wounds pierce into the internal Cavities and Bowels.

The Brain of Hens given in Drink, is good against any flux of blood from the Head, saith Dioscorides.

They attribute much to Amulets, about the Neck, and held in the Hands, supposing that they stop all sorts of bloody Fluxes. Those that were mentioned in other fluxes of blood, may be here made use of.
