TO THE READER.  
THis opus posthumum (if it can properly be so Epithized) or if not, I leave to the more curious than useful or profitable Critiks to spend their airy brains about determining; it is out of the Sympathy of Philanthropos to the good of Man kind thus prescribed; and I'll assure you it is not filius ante but post patrem; These not imaginary but real Experiments: Their virtue such that maugre all oppositions of the Monopolitan furies, have run through all the raging billows, and quicksands of swelling superbity. The Goddess Urania hath far more splended Rays then to be folded up in a skin of Parchment, nor certainly ever can brook any such confinement as to mix the buds of those more ingenious spirits who endeavour to approach her Altar; but I will leave the Explication hereof and applicato●, unto your candid interpretation; the matter herein is made plain, it being communicable to every intellect, and as the intended Legacy of the Author to his Patients freely spread amongst them; making good this Adage, Vox Audita perit; litere scripte manent. So when man ceases by vocal advice to communicate any further assistance to his fellow travellers in this terrene Stage: His solid Experiments, dipped in this sable dye, which Age nor Envy can never waste preserves the benefit thereof to everlasting posterity; So then Reader take this and make use of it, and as you find the profit, so return your respects to

Of distempers in the head, caused by cold.  
When a disease springs from a contrary cause, use a contrary remedy so● the cure, though many medicines wo●● sympathetically, and effect the cure th●● way, yet more do it by antipathy: Th●● distemper must be resisted in the beginning, and then it may easily be monstered, but if it reign long, till it get● it were an habit, the cure will be pe●●formed with great difficulty, if 〈◊〉 all. Simple medicines conducing he●● unto, are peony roots, gathered th● Moon decreasing, and the roots of fennel, orris, cloves, aristolochia, angelic● white dittany and valerian: And of leave● use rosemary, marjoram, rue, betony● sage, hyssop, balm, calamint, organy pennyroyal, primroses: The flowers o● stoechas, are in this much commended which carrieth away black, choler an● phlegm, cleanseth the brain nerves an● organs of the senses, resisteth all disease thereof being used either in potion, b● decoction, or fomentation.

A potion for the Hypochondriach Melanco●ly.

Of the Drunken Headache.  
This too too common distemper the Ethics call a voluntary madness, and phisically its termed morbus officialis, an official disease, it being the office of too much drink to disturb first the Brain and internal senses; and afterwards to leave its dire effects in every member of the body; it obstructs the ventricles of the Brain, with the relaxation and softness of the Nerves, caused by the ascension of a multitude of vapours, elevated from the excess of meat and drink, or wine and strong drink especially: This produceth various effects according to the diversity of men's natures; of which it is not my purpose to treat here, nor to prescribe Medicines for to encourage Drunkards; since in this perverse Age, Vice is degenerated into Virtue, (I mean it is reputed so) it being counted an incivility, and sometimes worse to refuse to pledge a health: But I would advise all men to beware of this mischief, yet if it chance to surprise them, use this following Julep.  
For the Drunken Headache.  
Take of the seeds of Cabbages, plantain, purslain, each one dram; coriander prepared half a dram, hartshorn burnt, a dram and an half: Make thereof a fine powder, whereof take one dram in the juice of lemons, oranges, syrup or conserve of quinces or barberryes.  
Or the following Julep.  
Take of the powder before prescribed, one dram, syrup of citrons, one ounce and an half, of quinces one spoonful, waters of savoury and endive, each an ounce and an half; mix them for a Julep.  
The following Electnary I also commend for the same distemper, and likewise good to prevent Drunkenness, if you take of it before drinking.  
Take Conserves of roses, rob of ribs, that is of currants, of barberryes, each half an ounce, of bitter almonds blanched and bruised twelve, cabbage seeds one dram, red roses one dram, with the syrup of water lilies, make them all into the form of an Electuary.  
Of a Bruise or blow on the Head, or hurt thereof by a fall.  
In the cure hereof, have these three things always before your eyes: First, endeavour to mitigate the pain: Secondly, to hinder apostemation; and thirdly, if there be a wound, to have a care to the cure of it; and regulate the patiented by due order of diet: If there be repletion in the body, then opening of a vein is convenient; but if age and strength will not admit of that, then have erecourse to the use of Clysters; to prevent an inflammation by evacuation of the humours that way. as,  
Take Pellitory, mercury, centory the less, with the flowers, sena half a handful; boil them in fountain water, and in half a pint of the decoction dissolve half an ounce of the Electuary, called benedicta laxativa, two drams of oil of roses, and a little salt, and give it for a Clyster.  
For a discussing and digesting plaster for the Head.  
Take Camonile, melilot, southernwood, and marjoram, each one handful, red roses dried, wheat bran, meal of beans, lupins & barley; each half an ounce, myrtles and cypress nuts, in number fifteen, or for want thereof, two drams of balaustins, bruise what is to be bruised, and boil them with their juice, till the herbs be soft, then work them together in a mortar, till they come to the form of a Cerote, to which in the end add a little oil of camomile and dill; then beat it again and apply it hot to the place affected.  
Eor he Frenzy.  
This affection sometimes followeth a Fever, and it sometimes is in the substance of the Brain: For the cure it is good to use frictions and ligatures to the extremityes, to hinder the ascension of the humours: Lotions are likewise proper to be used to the Feet.  
There must be also used in this case, both Clysters and Blood letting; though not by admittance, yet by compulsion; and the Clyster must be held in with a cloth, and to be repeated after blood-letting.  
A good Clyster for the Frenzy.  
Take Mallows, and marsh mallows, both herbs and roots, pellitory, mercury, and sena, each one handful, barley one pugil, five prunes, manna half an ounce, seeds of gourds and sennel, each one dram; decoct them all in a sufficient quantity of water, and in the Colature dissolve in it half a pint, of diacassia half an ounce, benedict. laxativa three drams, solutive syrup of roses three spoonfuls, oil of violets one ounce and an half, the yolk of one egg; mix them for a Clyster to be injected at any time: Then on the next day after blood letting, use this Laxative.  
Take solutive syrup of roses simple, two ounces, syrup of villets six drams, borrage water one ounce, lettuce and aniseed water, each one ounce and a half; mix them for a potion.  
An Apozeme for the Region of the forehead.  
Take leaves of Lettuce, plantain and vervain, of each an handful, roses and violets, each two pugils, red sanders two drams, seeds of plantain and sorel, each two drams, six poppy heads; decoct them in equal parts of water and wine vinegar, wherein dip linen clothes or a sponge, and apply it to the region of the forchead.  
Another frontal for the Forehead in the Frenzy.  
Take of the distilled waters of red Roses, lettuce, vervain, betony and water lilies, each two ounces, of plantain and nightshade water, each one ounce, of juice of purslain and sengreen, each one ounce and an half, wine vinegar one ounce; mix them, and therein dip warm linen clothes and apply it to the forehead: This is singular good foe such as are distracted with raging Fevers.  
For the Lethagy.  
This is the prodromus, or forerunner of the Apoplexy, and consequently of death itself: For cure hereof Castoreum is much commended to be given in drink with Oxymel: or thus,  
Take of Castoreum, two scruples, mace one scruple; powder them very fine, and give this powder in betony water, and syrup of citrons.  
An excellent secret for the Lethargy.  
Take the conserveses of Rosemary flowers, and primroses, each half an ounce, of roses three drams, of aromaticum rosatum, one dram, laetificans Galeni, half a dram, with syrup of Stoechas, and juice of citrons; reduce them into the form of an Opiate; whereof may be given, the quantity of a nutmeg at a time.  
An excellent Powder to be used against the disease called Caros, which is excessive drousiness, and profound sleepiness, which stupifies the senses, and hurts the action of the principal parts.  
Many have I known so subject to this distemper, that at all times and in all places wheresoever they have sat down they have fallen asleep, but for remedy of his evil.  
Take Nutmegs, mace, galanga, each two drams, citron pill, cinnamon, the true costus, of each one dram, the flowers of stoechas, roses, rosemary and camomile, each one dram and a half, schenanth, spike and lavender, each half 〈◊〉 dram, Castoreum one scruple; bruise them into a ross powder, and in a fine linen bag, apply them to the Corona● Suitor, which is that which women call the mould of the head; if it be sewed, o● quilted in a fine cloth, the patient may wear it at any time either at home o● abroad under a Cap.  
Having now prescribed a remedy for too much sleeping; I have provided helps for them also, who are subject to too much watch, how they may procure sleep.  
Pills to cause Sleep.  
Take species diambrae two scruples, diamorsc. dull. half a dram, white amber one scruple, ambergrease three grains; mix them, and with syrup of citron pills, make four and twenty pills thereof, whereof let the patient take three, going to bed.  
For the same intention, I commend the following Electuary.  
Take of the Conserve of water Lilies half an ounce, styrax Calamita one scruple, pearls prepared two scruples, ambergrease and musk, each one grain; with syrup of violets; make them a mixture, which may be reserved in a glass for your use, when occasion requires, taking the quantity of an hazel nut.  
A Decoction profitable for the same intention, especially where too much watching have caused a distillation of Rheum upon the Lungs.  
Take two Dates, three heads of white Poppy; make a decoction there of in a● sufficient quantity of Lettuce water to three ounces, then strain it, and dissolve in the Colature half an ounce of sugar o● roses; which give for a potion whe●● need requires.  
Observe always in these kind of distempers, these remedies are not to be exhibited, before the humour be evacuated by purgations; especially if the affect be with matter, and much vapours are ascended to the head, which as there be diversity of causes which procure distempers to the head, so there is needful various kinds of purgations, as the diversity of the cause requries.  
For the Hypochondriac Melancholy.  
Take syrup of Fumotery half an ounce, of endive and betony two drams, juice of citrons one spoonful, waters of cichory, dodder and sumotery, each one ounce, and a little cinnamon water; which mix for a potion, and use it as often as occasion requires.  
For the Vertigo First ●ake this purging Bolus, viz.  
Take of Diacassia three drams, hiera pi●ra two drams, rhabarb in fine powder one scruple; make it into a Bolus with a little sugar.  
Then use the following Electuary to repress the vapours from the Head.  
Take of the conserve of peony flowers, half an ounce, conserve of marjoram one ounce, of roses two ounces, marmelad of quinces one ounce, citron pill half an ounce, one mirobalan embelic, half an ounce of rob de ribs, coriander prepared one dram, fennel seeds anniseeds and peony roots, each half a dram, red coral one dram, Mastic one scruple, with syrup of citrons make it an Electuary, whereof take the quantity of a nutmeg after supper and dinner.  
For singing and noise in the ears, which causeth deafness.  
Take white Hellebore, Castoreum, each two drams, costus a dram and an half, rue and marjoram, each one dram, bitter almonds five drams, Euphorbium half a dram; let them be bruised and boiled in wine over a gentle fire an hour, then strain it and drop thereof into the ears; and let the patiented receive the vapour of this decoction, into the ears. or  
For noise in the Ears.  
Take oil of Bays three ounces, strong vinegar one ounce and a half, Castoreum in powder half an ounce, juniper berries one dram and an half; let them boil in a close vessel till the vine gar be consumed, then strain it through a cloth, and drop of it into the ears; but in all administrations to these parts, observe his rule.  
Never admit above three or 4. drops at a time of any medicine to be applied into the ears, for a great quantity especially of any oleaginous matter is hurtful; therefore always let your applications be very liquid that they may the easier pass in and out, and not stick within to offend the head; and apply all things warm only, neither hot nor quite cold, and always when you use any new medicine or dressing, be sure to cleanse the parts well that no filth remain of the old.  
For grievous pains in the Ears.  
Warm new Milk is good to be dropped into the Ears, so is the white of an egg, being beat first into an oil o liquor, and the oil of sweet almonds, and the oil of the seeds of white poppy.  
A Composition for pain in the Ears.  
Take of new Breast Milk if it can be had, two ounces of the whites of eggs beaten half an ounce, goose grease a dram; mix and work them together and drop into the ear, a drop or two at a time warm; oil of earth worms is very profitable for this grief, a drop or two thereof being dropped into the Ear.  
For the same, an excellent experiment.  
Take a great Onion, and make it hollow, and put therein of Castoreum and Euphorbium, each half a scruple, opium six grains, and fill it up with oil of bitter almonds, oil of dill, or such like; and roast it under the embers; then press out the juice and strain it; and use it a drop or two at a time.  
For a Catharre.  
The defluction of humours, from the head to the inferior parts, is generally called a Catharre. Those that would be acquainted with it; let them contrary to their use, but go wet and cold in their heads and feet, & they may quickly have a companion that they cannot be so soon rid of again: It is usually the forerunner of a Consumption, destroying the lungs by the distillation of humours, like as rain dropping into an house through the roof, rots the wood and timber and whatever it falls upon within.  
To cleanse and evacuate the humour in a Catharre.  
Take of the whitest Agarick half a dram, of rhabarb a dram, manna a half an ounce, ginger a scruple and a half, diagrydium three grains; bruise and infuse them all in waters of annis and fennel, each three ounces; boil it gently, and strain it, and in 4. ounces of the liquor dissolve two spoonfuls of solutive syrup of roses, and one spoonful of cinnamon water, and give it the patiented warm in the morning.  
Pills to suppress the Rheum.  
Take of the mass of pills Cochie and Mastichine, each one scruple, Agarick trochscated a scruple and a half, Trochis alhandali 4. scruples, with the infusion of gum dragon in cinnamon water; make it into pills and roll them in the powder of lignum aloes, and take one at a time, using them often; and that the matter may be driven downwards from the superior parts, take a scruple of these pills going to bed, or more or less according to the condition of the patiented; and in the morning take as much more, drinking after in a draught of Maligo wine.  
For stops of the Breast and difficulty of Breathing.

A Priapism is an immoderate and continual erection and standing of the Yard, without any desire or appetite to venery, or ejection of seed, wherein it differs from another passion of the yard called Satyriasis, in which there is, besides the standing of the yard, a coition and emission of the seed with pleasure.  
In the cure hereof the patient must be careful to avoid such things as generate and increase windiness, and to use such things as dissolve and break wind, outwardly foment the yard with this fomentation.

It is good also to wear a plate of lead, with a hole through it, for to put the yard thorough upon the pecten above the yard, and let it come underneath, fitting it to the place.  
Vomiting is likewise proper for this distemper, but not Purging.  
A gentle vomit, working without harm, which I always use.  
Take an ounce of assarabacca roots, boil them in a pint of water till half be consumed, then strain it, put to it two ounces of simple oximel, and giveit for a vomit; but before the patiented takes the vomit, take a hen and boil her, making clear broth, and having the broth in readiness, about a quarter of an hour after the patiented hath taken the vomit, let him drink a draught of the broth, and so drink between every vomit until it hath done working. Those that cannot get hen broth, may use clear posset drink in stead of it.  
In the distemper of a Priapism, let the patiented be sure to abstain from wine and diuretic medecines, and apply to the loins and privy members this Pultis following:

Take prunes what quantity you please, bruise them and distil them in a common still: And at any time, when occasion requires, you may give of this water alone with a little sugar, if you have nothing else to add with it.

In the beginning of a Fever have a special regard to the constitution of the body; if the body be plethoric, or if blood or choler abound, let your principal remedy be blood-letting; vomiting, and clysters also are very proper: Then give such things as cool the heat, as fair water with the juice of lemons, barberris, currants, pomegranates or quinces.
