THE Treasury of health containing many profitable medicines, gathered out of Hipocrates, Galen and Avicen by one Petrus Hyspanus, and translated into English by Humphrey Lloyd, who hath added thereunto the causes and signs of every disease, with the Aphorisms of Hipocrates, and jacobus de Partibus, redacted to a certain order according to the members of man's body, and a compendious table containing the purging and confortative medicines, with the exposition of certain names and weights in this book contained, with an Epistle of Diocies unto King Antigonus. (⸪)  Ecclesiast. xxxvij. 
¶ The Lord hath created Physic of the earth, and he that is wise will not abhor it.   

¶ To the Gentle hearted Reader Humphrey Lloyde.  
ALthough divers learned men of no less judgement than practice, have here before translated and set forth sundry books, containing the most wholesome and profitable precepts of Physic, wherein they seem to have opened, and at large declared all such things as seemed necessary and expedient to be had and known in this our vulgar English tongue: yet nevertheless, I calling to memory the notable sentence of Cicero, that every man is not alonely borne for himself but chief to profit his native Country, than his parents, afterward his children and friends, seeking a means whereby I might profit this my native Country, thought it best to translate this little treatise which was gathered out of the works of the most noble and ancient Physicians, Hypocrates, Galen, Dioscorides, and Avicen, by one Petrus Hispanus, which (although he chanced in a barbarous and rude time) was a man of great knowledge and long practise: unto which work containing alonely the simple and bore practice, I did add before every chapter as briefly as I could, the causes and signs of the sicknesses, and diseases, trusting thereby both to gratify and somewhat ease the pains of the reader, so that he need not elsewhere to seek the causes & signs of such diseases, whose remedies were contained in this book, and upon that consideration I bid also translate and add thereunto the Aphorysmes of Hipocrates, redacted unto such an order, that as the members of man's body be disposed to receive some one discase & some another, so the Aphorisms, which entreat of every disease that may happen to that member be gathered together into one chapter, beginning at the head and so in order to the feet: and also because men oftentimes desire to know the names and properties of compound medicines, I did translate a little book of such compounds drawn out of Mesue by one jacobus de Partibus, which work I have redacted to the self same order that the Aphorisms be in: and furthermore because I would gratify the Reader, and would not he should be ignorant in the names and weight herein contained, I have hereunto added two tables, of the which the first doth briefly express such simples and compounds as do either comfort or purge any disease or hurtful humour infecting any member of man's body, and the second expoundeth certain general names of medicines and weights commonly mentioned in this book, and thereupon have made an end of this rude and simple work, employing my whole labour and diligence to set the same forth as truly and as nigh the author's mind as I could, not thinking but that there do some remain therein, both because the barbarous and Arabic terms which the author doth chiefly use, and of the diverse and sundry opinions of most notable and well learned Physicians, aswell in the names as in the natures of Herbs and simples, and especially that we be either ignorant or destitute of English names for a great sort of them, yet I did as nigh as I could, follow Dioscorides, and in such things as I could not find in him, I did confer Fuchsius, Ruellius and Dorstemius together, and followed the judgement wherein they did all or the most part of them agreed, and in the Englishing thereof I and all other which intend any such work are much beholden to Master William Turner, who with no small diligence hath in both his herbals most truly and sincerely set forth the names and natures of diverse herbs, unto whose judgement and correction and all other learned in the most necessary science of Physic, do I submit this little work and treatise, desiring them most heartily to take in good worth this my first labour, and to accept my good will, not thinking it to be done to hurt any man, knowing what a perilous thing it is for them that be not learned both in the complexions of men, Age, Regions, and time of the year, with the knowledge of the origin and causes of the diseases, to take upon them the cure of any patient, and that rather they shall do hurt than good, with the sole and only practise thereof, except they do thereunto add great knowledge and perfit judgement had with painful study and long practise, therefore I would that all such rash and temerarious persons should perfectly know, that it was never my mind or will that this work should be set forth to maintain their filthy lucre and blind boldness, but chiefly ●o be a token and sign of the entire desire I have to set forth the thing which should be acceptable and pleasant to the Reader, and I would that it should be for the use and profit of such honest persons as will modestly and discreetly (either in time of necessity when no learned Physician is at hand. or else conferring with some learned man and using his counsel) minister the things herein contained, and go about the practice thereof, and upon these most honest and godly considerations, I take upon me this heavy burden and hard province, therefore I shall most heartily desire the gentle reader to pardon my audacity and bear with my slender judgement, and not to despise this simple work because it is not garnished with colours of rhetoric and fine polished terms, but rather to consider that Physic is an Art content only to be plainly and distinctly taught, and nothing desirous to be adorned and decked with eloquence and gay painted sentences: wherefore I trusting to the sincere and indifferent judgement of the Reader, do entirely desire him to pray with me to him that created Physic of the earth, and commanded that we should honour the Physician, to preserve this realm of England in most prosperous and continual health, and to endue the inhabitants thereof, with perfit understanding and the most desired knowledge of his holy word. Amen. (⸪)   

¶ Places of scripture which seem to make for the praise of Physic.  Exod. 15. Moyses' brought forth Israel from the red sea, and they went to the wilderness of Sur, and they went three days in the wilderness and could find no water, and at the last they came to Mara, but they could not drink of the waters for the bitterness thereof, and Moses cried unto the Lord, and he showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters and they waxed sweet. 
Also if you read over the xiij xiv. xv. Chapter of Leviticus (where the Priests be taught to discern the Leprosy from all other diseases) you shall find many things that make for the praise of Physic.  Reg. 4. cap. 10. Hezekiah was sick to the death, and after he had prayed to the lord he sent Isayah unto him, who put a lump of figs upon the sore and he recovered. Reg 4. cap. 4. ●. Heliseus the Prophet healed the naughty and bitter waters of jericho, and the barrenness of the ground, with casting salt into the spring thereof, he healed also Naaman of his leprosy with the pottage that was made of coloquintida. Pro. 27. The heart is glad of a sweet ointment and savour, but a stomach that can give good counsel rejoiceth a man's neighbour. Tobi. 6. The Angel said unto Tobias, take out the bowels of this fish, and as for the heart, the gall and the liver, keep them by thee, for these things are necessary for medicine.

The cramp or madness with much watching, is very perilous.  
He that is taken with a sore conwision, if he live four days shall escape.

If in autumn, or Harvest therebe much drought, and north winds, it shall do good to moist people and women, but other it shall vex with dry blearenesse.  
When the times of the year be dry, many shall have blear eyes.  
The southwind blowing daily for a season, will engender dazzling in the eyes.  
Diseases of the eyes do chiefly reign in summer.  
In a continual ague if the eyes be writhen aside, and the patient weak and cannot see, it is a present token of death.  
In all kinds of Fevers, and other diseases, voluntary tears be laudable, but if they flow contrary to the racyentes' mind, they be to be feared.  
It is very good, if he that is diseased in eyes be taken with a sudden lask  
All diseases in the eyes be healed either by drinking of sweet wines or with baths of hot water, or letting of blood, or with a purgation.  
If a man be sick, mark his eyes when he sleepeth, for if any white thing appear betwixt the eye lids, and the patient have no great lax nor received any putgation before, is a terrible and deadly fygne.   

Of the disposition of the ears. Chap. xiij.  
Whosoever useth to void choler, and in the mean while waxeth deaf, the lask floppeth, and of the contrary part, a sudden lask & dejection of choler taketh away deafness.

A dry summer with often north-wind and a moist harvest with the southwind, both engender in the next winter the hedake, the cough, hearsenesse, and much fluxion of rheum by the nostrils, but if the Harvest be dry, and the northwind blow, the rheum shall endure much longer. Old men be often grieved with fluxion of rheum and the cough.  
Much rheum contained in the stomach is changed within twenty days to plain matter.  
All cold things as snow and ye, do engender distillations.   

Of bleeding at the nose Chap. xxv.  
Old men and children do oft bleed at the nose.  
If it chance him that is sick of an ague to bleed, he shall have a lask in the decrease of his fever.  
He that waxeth deaf through an ague, and bledeeths at the nose shall recover his hearing.  
Who so is likely to have an aposteme in any of his joints, and in the mean while bleedeth at the nose is sure to recover his health.  
If a woman whose flowers be stopped do chance to bleed at the nose, it is a good sign.  
Bleeding at the nose or ears taketh away headache.  
To have the Cramp or to dote while the nose bleedeth is an evil sign.   

Of Neezing Chap. xuj.  
IF a woman having the mother, or being in pains of child birth chance to sneeze, it is very good.  
sneezing taketh away belching. All sneezing that cometh of the head is caused either of the brain being hot, or the empty place of the head being very moist, for the air with in contained, breaketh out through a narrow passage, and thereby causeth the noise.

OFtentimes diseases proper for the summer season do chance in autumn, as the squinancy, shortness of breath, and the pains in the flap that covereth the wind pipe.  
A suffocation chancing to him that hath an ague, and no swelling remain in the throat, is a token of death.

They which suddenly are taken with pains in the head, & there with loose their speech and rout, they die shortly, if they be not taken with anage w. Whosoever hath his brains hurt any way, doth suddenly loose his speech.   

Of blood spitting. Cap. xxi.  
Young men be chief troubled with spitting of blood, consumptions, hot fevers, and the falling Evil.  
The spittle in a continual Fever being wan of colour, bloody, stinking, or choletike, is an evil token. He that spiteth frothy blood is diseased in the lights.  
If he that spiteth blood, spit therewith all filthy matter, it is an evil line.  
To vomit blood without an ague is healthful, but in an ague pernicious.   

Of the pleurisy. Cap. xxij.  
If in the beginning of a pleurisy the patient use to spit, it shorteneth the disease, but if it chance afterward it prolougeth the pains.  
The north-wind blowing a long season together, engedreth colikes, coughs, and pleurisies.  
Pieurifies, peripueumonies. rheums, and coughs do chief reign in the winter.  
If he which hath the pleurisy, be not purged in. xiiii days, the fiuxion will change to matter.  
The pleurisy once changed to matter, if the patient be not purged within forty days after the breaking forth of the matter, he shall fall to a consumption.  
A sudden lask following a pleurisy or a peripneumony, is very perilous.  
They whose belching smelleth some what sharp or tart, be not given to the pleurisy.  
The frenzy in a peripne umonie is an evil token. Who soever having filthy matter in the void place of the stomach, or having the hydropsy, is lanced or burned, if all the water or matter issue forth, it is present death.   

Of the consumption or phthisic. cap. twenty-three.  
Autumn or Harvest is very evil to them which be in a consumption.  
A dry summer with much north-wind, & a moist harvest with south winds, do engender in the winter following, coughs & rheums, and to divers, consumptions.  
In consumptions purge downward, and upward.  
They which be betwixt xviii and xxv. be chief troubled with the ptisike.  
If his spittle which hath a consumption being cast upon coals do stink, and the hear fall off his head, it is a sign of death.  
A sudden lask to him that is in a consumption, and his he are fall off, is deadly.  
Milk is unwholesome to them which have the headache, or that be sick of any fever, & to them which have noise and wind in the higher part of their bellies, and that have choleric decottions in hot fevers, or that have lost much of their blood, and of the contrary part, it is good to such as have a consumption without an ague, and also it may be ministered to them which have agues long time, if none of the above said tokens do appear, & to such as have been long sick of a consumption.  
A phthisic or lask with spitting of filthy matter, if the spitting cease, is deadly.   

Of the dispositions of the heart. Ca xxiv.  
GReat brenning in the stomach and pricking about the heart, is an evil token in an ague.  
They which loose their strength oftentimes without manifest occasion shall die suddenly.   

Of the paps. Cap. xxv.  
IF the paps of a woman which is with child of two do wax little, she shall loose one child, and if it be the right pap it is a man child, and if it be the left, a woman.  
If a woman, that neither is with child, neither hath brought forth a child, have milk in her paps, she is passed her Flowers.  
Blood drawing to the paps of a woman, is a sign of the frenzy.  
If thou wilt stop the flowers of a woman, put a great ventose upon her paps.  
Much milk issuing out of the tetes of a woman that is with child, betokeneth the child to be very weak and feeble, but if the paps he hard the child is strong and healthful.  
Like as the decrease of the paps is a sign of the destruction of the child, so the hardness of the same signifieth great pains in the paps, legs, knees, or eyes, and the life of the child.   

Of the stomach. Cap. xxuj.  
THe stomach is most hot in the winter and spring-time, and then also the sleeps be longest.  
Men can not well away with much meat in the summer and harvest, but meanly in the spring, and best of all in the winter.  
In all diseases to be steadfast of mind, and to be content with such things as be ministered to him, is a laudable sign, but the contrary is very evil.  
Drink of wine doth take away hunger.  
If ●e which goth very dry to bed sleep, it is good.  
If they which have certain murmuring and wind in their bellies have great pains in the loins, they shall have moist d●iections, if the wind do neither come forth, nor great multitude of urine, & all these do chance in fevers.  
If in a lask or vomit such things be purged as aught to be purged, it doth ease the patient, and it is nothing grievous, but if it chanceth contrary.  
Let such as can not easily vomit, be purged down ward, but not in the summer.  
In all kind of diseases if black choler be purged upward or downward without a medicine, it is perilous.  
In the pains of the small guts called yliaca, vomiting, yesking, convulsion, or doting be evil.  
A convulsion and yesking after a great purging, are to be feared.  
A sudden and voluntary vomiting, healeth him that hath had a long lask.  
Yesking is good to him which hath a heat & swelling in the liver.   

Of the diseases in the liver. Cap. xxvij.  
AN ague taketh away the grief and pains in the liver.  
A wound in the brains, heart, midrife, small guts, stomach, or liver, is deadly.  
If he whose liver mattreth be burned, and thereout issue pure & white matter, he shall escape, but if it be like dregs he shall shortly dye.  
Many diseases proper to the summer do chance in harvest, as quartaynes and Hydropsies engendered in the spleen.  
If he which hath the dropsy be wounded, it is hard to heal him.  
Whosoever hath gripings about the navel, and pains in the joins and cannot be helped by purgations or otherwise shall fall into a dry hydropsy.  
The cough going before the hydropsy is evil, but in the hydropsy much worse.  
If they which be splenetike have a bloody flux which will long continued, they fall to the hydropsy, or their meat shall come through them undigested, and so they die.  
A bloody flux, an hydropsy or madness after a frenzy, are laudable.  
Who so have their liver full of water, and it break downward to the belly, it is death.  
If he that hath an ague be taken with the yellow iandis the vij the ix. the xj or xiij day, it is laudable, if the right side wax not hard, but if it do, it is contrary.  
An ague taketh away the pains under the sides, if it be without great heat and swelling.   

Of the gall and spleen. Cap. xxxviij.  
IF the yellow jaundice chance in an ague before the seventh day, it is evil.  
They which have the yellow iandis be not full of wind.  
If their liver which have the yellow iandis be hard, it is an evil sign.  
A bloody flux is good to them that be splenetike.   

Of all kind of flurions. Cap. xxix.  
In a lask divers kinds of sieges be good, except they change to such as be evil.  
Black sieges like to filthy blood being voluntary be wonderful evil whether they be with an ague or without an ague, & the darker colour they have, the worse they be, but if these sieges come through a purgation, they be more laudable, yea and although they be of divers colours, they be not evil.  
To have a siege of plain melancholy, or to parbreak the same in the beginning of any disease, is deadly.  
Whosoever is brought weak either by some grievous disease of sickness of long continuance, or by wounds received, or any other way, and thereupon have a siege of melanchoty like to black blood, he shall doubtless die the day after.  
A bloody flux beginning with a melancholic siege, is deadly.  
Little pieces of flesh appearing in a bloody siege, be tokens of present death.  
vain desire to the store in a woman with child, killeth the child.  
Tart and sharp belching suddenly chancing to him whose meat cometh through him indigested, is very good.  
In long continuance of a bloody flux to abstain from meat is very evil & if it be with an ague much worse.  
A bloody flux is good to such as be splenetike.  
A sudden bloody flux after a sincere or clean siege, is to be feared.  
If a great lask chance in a white morfew, it taketh away the disease  
Frothy sieges in a flux, do declare the phlegm to come from the head.  
It is an evil token in a sharp ague, to have a convulsion or painful gripings in the belly.  
Pains in the higher parts of the belly be more gentle, & of lesser peril than they which be in the lower part.  
If he which hath the strangury be taken with the pains in the small guts called illiaca, he shall die in seven days, except a fever take him much flux of urine.   

Of the fundament. Cap. xxx.  
IF the hemorrhoids chance to such as be melancholic mad, or frantic, it is laudable.  
If he that hath long time had the hemorrhoids be healed, & not one left open, it is to be feared jest he fall to a consumption or hydropsy.  
The hemorrhoids be very good to such as have a melancholic madness, or great grief in the reins.   

Of the disposition of the reins. Cap. xxxj.  
THey which have the pains in the reins after xi years of age, cannot be healed.  
They whose urine is full of gravel be sick of the stone, either in the reins, or in the bladder.  
Diseases in the reins and bladder, are scant curable in old men.  
Little bladders or bubbles in a man's urine, do betoken pains in the reins, and long diseases.  
The higher part of the urine fatty & thick, is a sign of pains in the reins and some grievous disease.  
If the above said tokens appear in such as be sick in the rains, and also have sore pains in the muscles of the back, if the pains be inward it signifieth an apostum in the inner parts, but if they be outward, the apostum shall be there also.  
Much phlegm contained betwixt the stomach and the midrife, having no way to the belly is soon dissolved, if it issue by the veins in the bladder, and thence forth in urine.   

Of the diseases in the bladder. Ca 32.  
In moist and wet season, long agues, fluxes, rottenness, the falling evil, the squinancy, and the palsy do chiefly reign, but contrary in dry seasons, consumption, blearnes, gouts, stranguries & bloody fluxes.  
Children be often grieved with pains in the throat, & falling of the jaws, worms in the belly, and stranguries.  
Old men have most commonly these diseases, shortness of breath, rheum, the cough the strangury, difficulty of urine, gouts, dazzling in the head, pains in the rains, paises in their bodies out of just temperance, the itch, watchings, with moistness in the belly, eyes, & nostrils dullness of sight & hearing.  
If his water that is sick of an ague be little in quantity, thick, and full of crumbs, & thereupon his urine follow much in quantity and thin, it is very good.  
Whosoever in an ague hath his water troubled like to the urine of an ox or cow, hath, or shortly shall have the headache.  
In such diseases as shall be ended the seventh day, there shall appear in the patients urine a read cloud the fourth day, with other reasonable tokens.  
urine white & clear is not laudable, & especially in them which be frentyke or doting.  
They which be like to have an apostum in their joints, be delivered thereof by much urine white & thick as that which cometh from such as have been four days sick of an ague. Blood or matter in the urine doth declare ulcers and biles, either in the reins or bladder.  
Little pieces of flesh and hears in the urine come from the reins. Contents like bran in the urine, signify a Pock, or Scab in the bladder.  
They which piss blood have a vain broken in the reins.  
If they which piss blood or crumbs, or else have the strangury, if the pains be beneath the belly about the share, the disease is in the bladder. Gravel in the urine betokeneth the stone in the bladder.  
He that pisseth blood or matter, & he in whose urine scales do appear, or the water have a strong smell, hath ulcers in the bladder.  
Who so hath pustules or welkes in his yard, and if they break, and the matter run out, they shall be shortly hole.  
To piss much in the night, doth betoken a little siege.  
The strangury chanceth to that person which hath a hot swelling in the fundament, or matrix, and to him whose reins do matter, & yesking ever followeth the heat & swelling in the liver.  
Diseases in the reins & bladder, are hard to heal in old men.  
Contents in the bottom of the urine like unto thick bran, signify the disease long to continued.  
If the water do appear unlike of substance, it betokeneth great mistemperance, for diversity of humours within the body.  
Drinking of wine, healeth the strangury, & him that cannot hold his water, & it is also good to let blood in the inner veins about the ankle.   

Of the members of generation in men. Chap. xxxiij.  
LIkewise in men, either for the rarity of the body, the spirits go out, so that the seed cannot come to his due place: or for the thickness thereof the humour cannot get forth, neither wax hot, for the coldness & so it heapeth in that place, or else the same thing cometh of great heat.  
Above, a gristle, a synow and the top of the yard being cut, will neither grow nor join together.   

Of the members of generation in women Chap. xxxiiij.  
IF the winter be moist and warm & the Southwind blow, the spring time dry with northwindes those women that be then with child shall of every light occasion loose their children and the children then borne shall be weak & sickly, wherefore they shall either die forthwith, or else all their life time be fainty and full of diseases.  
If a woman with child must need be purged, let that be from the fourth month to the seventh, yet those somewhat less, but before four & after seven let them receive no purgations.  
The suffumigation of sweet odours doth bring forth the flowers, & is good for divers other things, if it did not 'cause the head to be drowsy.  
Letting of blood doth kill the child but the nigher the birth, the more perilous it is.  
If a woman with child be taken with any grievous disease, it is death.  
The fluction of the flowers taketh away vomiting of blood.  
If the flowers stop, it is good to bleed at the nose.  
It is perilous for a woman with child to have a great lax.  
sneezing is very good to her that hath the mother, or that travaileth of childbirth.  
She whose flowers be evil coloured or that keep not their common course had need to take a purgation.  
If thou wouldst know whether a woman hath conceived or not, give her water and honey mingled together to drink when she goth to sleep and if she feel gripings & pains in her belie, she is with child: if she feel none, she is not.  
A woman which hath conceived a male is well coloured, but if it be a female, it is contrary.  
Those women which be very small and lean before they conceive, shall loose one child before they wax gross  
Those women which be mean of body, do loose their children the second or third month without manifest occasion, have the closures of their wombs full of filthy matter, wherefore they cannot sustain the weight of the child, but so denly break.  
They which be very fat cannot conceive till they wax lean, for the mouth of the matrix is stopped up with fatness.  
If thou wilt provoke the flowers 'cause the woman to sneeze, and in the mean while stop her nose & mouth  
They which be with child have their wombs closed up.  
If a woman with child be taken with an ague, and wax very hot, without manifest occasion, she hath great pains in child birth, ●●cis she loseth her child with peril of her own life.  
If a cononulsion, and faintness take a woman in the time of her flowers, it is perilous.  
If the flowers have to much issue there do ensue diverse diseases, and if they be stopped, there followeth great grief in the womb.  
If a woman hath not conceived & thou wilt know whether she shall conceive or not, let her be well covered with clotheses, & beneath let a suffumigation be made of hot things & odoriferous, for if the smell come up through her body to the nose and mouth, be sure that she is not barren of herself.  
If a woman with child have her flowers, it is impossible the child should be healthful.  
The flowers stopping with an agu or great cold, and the woman loath her meat, say she is with child.  
The matrix cold and gross, or very moist, is not apt to conceive, for the seed is therein quenched & destroyed. Like wise if it be dry and very hot for then is the seed lost for lack of nourishment, but they whose matrix is of a mean temperature be plentiful & do often conceive, if thou wilt know more, read above in the disposition of the Paps.   

Of the disposition of the outward members. Cap. xxxv.  
If two great griefs do hap in divers members at one time, the greater taketh away the less.  
Pains in the knees and loins, or grypinge in the belly coming upon him that hath no age we, do signify that he should be purged do wnewarde.  
In painful fevers apostumes do often happen about the knees and cheeks.  
The sickness shall chiefly remain in that place which was grieved before it began.  
The joints of such as have had a fever for a long season, shall ache & be full of pustules.  
Great pains & swellings in the joints with any breaking or issue do signify that the gout or cramp shall follow, and many be remedied with much washing with cold water, for that doth extenuate the humour and take away the pains, for a mean cold extinguisheth. Letting of blood doth utterly take away such pains as begin at the back, & thence remove to the arms. Enuches be never bald nor gouty.  
Women have never the gout as long as they have their flowers.  
A child hath never the gout until he hath known a woman.  
All kind of gouts (if the inflammation be quenched) within forty days do end.  
All gouts do chief reign in spring time and harvest.  
If the hip bone fall out of his place after a long sciatica, there shall much matter follow, or the leg will consume away, and the patient shall halt, except he be burned.   

Of fevers and Agues. Chap. xxxuj.  
THe sickness itself, and the time of the year do plainly declare the time of the fits, the chief time of the disease, & the order in the fits.  
Died men be never troubled with sore agewes, because their bodies be cold.  
All sharp diseases are judged in fourteen days.  
Quartaynes insommer be very short, in Autumn much longer, in winter longest of all.  
It is much better that he which hath a convulsion be taken with an ague, than he which hath an ague be taken with a convulsion.  
If his flesh that hath a sore ague do either fall nothing away at all or decay very much, it is evil, for the first betokeneth long continuance of the disease, and the other great weakness in the person.  
At the beginning and ending of an ague all things be of more strength than in the chief part thereof.  
In all diseases they be in less icopardy to whose nature age, custom or time of the year the sickness doth agree, than they with whom it doth in no point agreed.  
When the summer is not unlike to the spring time, you shall look for much sweting in all agews.  
In dry seasons there shall reign divers sore agues.  
All diseases in the harvest season be perilous and deadly, but in the spring time most gentle and easy.  
In the summer these do chief reign, continual and brenning agues tertian and quartain fevers, vomiting, lasks, blearnesse with ulcers in the mouth & privy members. A cold stiffness chancing the sixth day in any fcuer doth take away all judgement.  
All fevers which do not intermit and give over the third day, be perilous, but if the patient have no fit that day there is no jeopardy.  
If great coldness take him which is very week through a continual ague, it is deadly.  
If in a continual ague the outward members be very cold, & the inward parts hot and dry, it is a token of death.  
If in an ague pustules and pains chance in the joints, it is a sign that the patient feedeth well.  
In a continual Fever, if the lips, the eyes, the Nose or the mouth be writhe and out of fashion, so that the patient cannot see nor here, and therewith all his body be weak, it is a sign that death is at hand.  
A sudden lask or dofage in a continual fever is deadly.  
An apostum which doth not break at the first judging day in a fever, doth signify the long continuance of the disease.  
Voluntary tears in agues be laudable, but they which flow against the pacientes will, be to be feared.  
All Agewes with swelling in the fundament be evil, except such as endure but one day.  
If he which hath an ague do swit very much and the disease continued it is evil, for it betokeneth long sickness and abundance of humours.  
He that hath a convulsion or dissension in the sinews, & there upon an ague, is suddenly delivered.  
A tertian not ended inseven fits, shall continued long.  
The yellow jaundice coming upon him that hath a Fever before the seventh day is perilous.  
To be afraid in his sleep, or to have the cramp is evil.  
To be short breathed in an ague is the sign of a convulsion.  
Sorrowful sighs in sharp agews be to be feared.  
They which have the quartayne have seldom convulsyons, and if he which hath a convulsion fall to a quartan, he shall be delivered from his convulsion.  
If he which hath an ague sweated in these days following, it is very good, the third, the .v. seven. ix. xi. xiv. xvij. xxi. xxvij. xxxi. xxxiiij. for the sweets do judge the fever, but if they be otherwise, they declare long continuance of the disease and great pains.   

Of the diet to be observed in Agewes. Chap. xxxvij.  
IN all diseases of long continuance the patient must use little meat, & exquisite, but in sharp diseases, that is perilous, yet to eat to little or to much be both evil.  
sick men do more often err in using little meat, than in that diet which is some what larger, whereby they be oft hurt, yea and to such as be in health small fare and exquisite diet, is very perilous, because they easily err therein.  
Unto extreme diseases extreme cures necessary.  
When the disease is most extreme and sharp, the patient shall by and by have wondered pains, wherefore he must use most small and thin diet, and as the disease is from extreme pains, so must the diet amend.  
When the sickness is most violent then must the patient use jest meat of all.  
The physician must mark well whither the patient using such small diet may endure to the state & strength of the disease, or whether the pains will first assuage or no.  
If the sicknesses in the beginning be most fervent, then must the patient use little meat, but if the sickness he afterward most violent, the patients meat must be some what before diminished, but in the beginning he must feed well that he may be able to abide the disease.  
The patient must forbear meat in the fits, and especially in such ag●●●s the do intermit & come by fits. Among all other old men may best away with fasting, than such as be of middle age, after young men, and worst of all children, and especially such as be quick and lusty.  
Such as grow, have much natural heat within them & therefore do require much meat, which if they have not, the & bodies do soon consume, but contrary little meat will serve old men because they have but little natural heat, which with much meat is soon quenched, and therefore they have not so fervent agues because their bodies be cold.  
The stomach & inward parts be most boat in winter & spring time wherefore men must then feed better for the inward heat them being much doth require much meat, and for a proof theronf mark the ages & the champions.  
Moist meats be best of all to such as be sick of agues & chief lyrd children, & to such as have 〈…〉 like meats.  
You must mark whether you shall give them meat once or twice, and to whom you must give more, to whom less, & some what you must bear with the time of the year, the country, the age of the person, and with the accustomed use.  
In summer and Autunne men may scarce away with much meat but in the winter best of all, and mean in the spring.  
To such as have their sickness by certain fits in order, you shall give nothing, neither add nor diminish afore the time of judging. Here end the Aphorisms of Hypocrates, set in order for every member, and translated out of Latin into English, by Humphrey Lloid.    

Book containing the names of the compound A medicines which be good for all kind of diseases that may chance in any member of man's body, in reading of which book I would the gentle Reader should be admonished of one thing, which is, that I do commonly through all this book use the Latin names, and have not translated the same to the English tongue, being moaned there unto, because that many of them be such that they can not be well Englished, and also that the Apothecaries which have such medicines to fell do commonly use the Latin, or rather Arabike and barbarous terms, and not the English names thereof, upon which considerations I thought it best to use the same through all this present book.

The Epistle of Diocles unto king Antigonus, which teacheth a man to preserve himself in health.  
IN so much as your grace being now somewhat run in years (most noble Prince Antigonus) is endowed with knowledge above other kings and that in all parts of philosophy & the arts called Mathematical, where in your grace hath wonderfully profited: I thought that part of Philosophy which teacheth a man to preserve himself in health not worthy to be despised and left untouched of your regal majesty, wherefore I thought it necessary to declare unto your majesty in this Epistle, the causes of divers diseases, with the signs and tokens which go before the same, and last of all the remedies where with the same may be healed and cured: for like as there is no raging and hideous tempest without some manifest and open signs which declar● the same to follow, whereby men which have knowledge and be learned in the Arcane and privy works of nature do so provide for themselves that they be sure from all perils and leoperdies that may ensue, so is there no kind of disease or sickness that may infect any member of man's body, but that hath before such evident signs and tokens that it may be easily known to follow. Therefore your grace putting your trust and confidence in these our precepts may easily attain to the perfect and absolute knowledge of all things.  
first of all I have divided the body of man into four parts, that is to say the head, the breast, the belly, and the bladder.  
These signs and tokens do declare when any kind of disease is about to infect the head, dazzling in the eyes, the headache, heaviness of the brows, a noise in the ears, pricking in the temples, the eyes to water in the morning and the sight to fail, with dullness or want of smelling and the lifting up of the gums.  
When thou dost perceive any such tokens, it is the best remedy to purge and cleanse the head (and that with no purgative medicine) but with five ounces of wine made of withereo grapes, or of new wine sod till half be wasted away therewith thou shalt wash thy mouth fasting, and gargarise it therein till the head be purged of phlegm therein contained, and this is the casiest remedy for all diseases in the head. Also it were very good and healthful, if the patient fasting would eat a quantity of mustard which have been macerate or steeped in water and honey mingled together, and gargarising the same, would draw down the humour contained in the head, but first of all you must take heed the head be covered till it heat, whereby the slimy fieme may be made more apt and meet to flow down to the mouth.  
Now of the contrary part, who so despiseth these signs and tokens shall be troubled with these diseases, or one of them, the ophtalmy, the pearl in the eyes, breaking out about the ears, poukes or weals in the neck, the consumption in the brain, heaviness in the head, the squinancy, worms which eat the hear, the pains in the slappe that covereth the wind pipe, the falling of the hear, scabs or ulcers in the head, and the toothache.  
You may perceive by these tokens, if any man is like to be diseased about the breast, or not, first a sweat through all the body, & breast the tongue to wax rough or thick, the spittle to be salt, or bitter in taste, or cholerik, sudden pains in the sides or shoulders, without manifest occasion, often yaning, much watching, suffocations, thirst after sleep, great sadness, coldness in the breast, and a shaking in the arms and hands, and the diseases thereof ensuing you may annoyed with parbraking after a mean supper, without receiving any medicine. Also it is very good to vomit fasting.  
Therefore let him that would vomit eat radish, towneresses, rocket, mustard, or purslane, and afterward drink warm water, and he shall vomit forth with, but he that setteth little by these presages & signs, aught to fear these diseases, the pleurisy, pains in the lungs, melancholical madness, sharp agues, the frenzy, the lethargy, and a burning ague with yesking.  
When the belly shall be diseased, some of the signs do commonly appear before, the throws and pains in the belly, meats and drinks to seem bitter, heaviness in the knees, cold stiffness in the joints, weariness of all the body without any occasion, lack of senses in the legs, and easy fevers. Now when any of these tokens do appear, it is best to make the belly soft and loose with some kind of diet, & with no purging medicine, for it is less leopardie to use such things that a man may scant err in, as bootes sod with water and honey, sod garlic, malowes, dock, or Mercury, & sweet meats made with honey, for all these things do mollify the belly, but if any of the foresaid signs be manifest or endure long, add to the said decoctions the juice of bastard Saffron, for thereby it shall be sweeter and more wholesome. Also Coleworts sod in a great quantity of water, or four ounces of the juice thereof received with honey and salt, is very good, and of no less effect is the water of the decoction of Cychepeason or bitterfetch drunk fasting. But they which think these signs to be of none effect, are oftentimes diseased with these sicknesses, the flux in the belly, pains in the bowels, the lyenteri, ilica passio, which is a disease in the small guts, the sciatica, the fever tertian, the gout in the feet, the apoplexy, the hemorrhoids, and the joint sickness.  
All diseases of the bladder be known by these tokens, to be very full after little meat, great inflations, much belching, the pale colour of all the body, heavy or sad sleep, urine wan of colour, and great pains in the making thereof, with swelling about the privy members, after which tokens it is good to use odoriferous things which move brine, as the roots of fenel or parsley, which have been steeped a while in good and odoriferous white wine, of the which let the patient take every morning fasting three ounces with the water of yellow characts or lovage or enula campana, for they be of like operation, & of no less efficacy is the water wherein Chiches have been stepped in, if it be drunk with wine. But who so doth lightly pass over these tokens shall look for some of these diseases, the hydropise, the bigness of the spleen, pains in the liver, the stone, pains in the reins, the strangury, and the distension of the belly. And here is to be noted, that in all these signs before rehearsed, we aught to minister gentle and easy medicines to children, and to such as be elder, medicines that be of more strong operation and greater efficacy.  
Now I intend briefly to declare unto your majesty the two turnings of the son called in Latin solstitia (at which times such things do commonly chance) & what meats your grace shall use or abstain from, in either of them, taking my beginning at the winter turning.  

The winter turn.  
Solstiticum hiemale which I call the winter turn, is about the xj. day of December when the sun entereth the Goat. IN the winter turn do reunies and humidity increase in men's bodies till the spring equinoctial, therefore it is good to eat whoate meats, and to drink sweet wines, and especially with wild margeram, and also to use the company of women.  
There be from the winter turning to the spring equinoctial eighteen days.   

The spring time equinoctial.  
The spring equinoct●●d is the ten day of March, when the sun entereth the Ram. FRom the spring equinoctial unto the rising of the seven stars called virgilie, doth phlegm and sweet corruption of the blood engender in man's body, and for that cause it is good to use moist and tart meats, to exercise the body, and not to abstain from women. From the spring equinoctial to the rising of Pleiades be. xiuj. days.   

The rising of the seven Stars.  
The seven stars called Uirgihe or Pleiades, rise with the sun about the ix. day of May. CHoler and bitter matter beareth rule in man from this time unto the summer turning: therefore use meats that be sweet, larative, beware of acts venerial: from the rising of the Pleiades unto the summer turn be xiu days.   

The Summer turning.  
The somet turn, is about the x. day of July, when the sun entieth the Crab. AT this time is melancholy augmented till the harvest equinoctial, therefore drink cold water, and smell odoriferous things, and as for Venus you must either use it moderately, or eschew it utterly: we have to the harvest equinoctial eighteen and three days.   

The harvest equinoctial.  
The harvest equinoctial is the xiij day of September. when the sun entereth the balance. Phlegm and thin fluxions abound from this time to the setting of the seven stars, therefore it is good to purge the humours, or to stop the fluxions, and to eat all ●arle and moist meats, to parbrake nothing at all, to exercise the body, and to flee women. From which time to the setting of the seven stars be xxxuj days.   

The setting of the seven Stars.  
The seven stars set with the sun about the tenth of November FRom this time to the winter turning doth phlegm bear dominion in man, therefore you must take fat and bitter things, drink sweet wines, and exercise the body. From the going down of the seven Stars to the winter turn be five and forty days.
