As for the Cures themfelvesyjthe Reader will

Signs and Trefages ofDifeafes in feveral 
*F arts of the 'Body. 
I Di vide the Body dfMan Into four Parts, the 
Head, the Brea ft, the Belly, the Bladder. 
When any Difeafe is to affeft the Head, certain 
Prefages and Signs do for the moft part Foretel the 
fame : Of which fort are, Heavinefs of the Head, 
even to the Eye-brows, the buzzing Noife or Sound 
of the Ears, and the Beating of the Temples of the 
Head. In the Morning the Eyes are watery and 
dim, the Smelling of the Noie is dull, and the 
Gums do (well Therefore when you perceive any 
of thofe Prefages or Signs, the Head is forthwith 
to-be purged, not with the help of any Medicament, 
but with the Tops of Hyffop and Origany, bruifed 
and boiled in a little Pot with baftard Wine or nine 
Ounces of Broth, with which you (hall wafn your 
Mouth falling, and gargarize therewith until the 
whole pituitc-Huraor be expelled* This indeed is 
the eafieft Remedy for the Head* It will be moft 
I. In the Head. A P P E N'D I X.. 
healthful in like manner,to wafh the Mouth falling 
with a Deco&ion ©f Muftard in Mulfe-watcr, 
i. e. with Water and Honey, made hot and fteeped, 
and byGargarizing to draw forth the Humor out of 
the Head. But it will be expedient to rub the Head 
full very gently,and keep the Head very warm with 
(brae Cover,that the diffolvcd Pituite,all Hindrance 
being removed, may the more cafily pafs away* 
Every one who negle&s the forefaid Signs and fee 
down Remedies, may certainly be perfwaded to be 
in danger of thefe Difeafes, to wit, Of the Ophthal- 
my ( which is a dropping waterinefs and running 
of the Eyes,) of the Glaucoma, which is a drynefs 
of the chryftalline Humor with Concretion, of the 
Pain in the Ears, of the Kernel in the Neck, of the 
Confumption and Mortification of the Brain, 
of the Pofe, which is a Fluxion of undigefted Hu- 
mors, flowing from the Ventricles ®f the Brain to 
theNole, (which is caufed by the Heat of the Sun, 
or by the liberal drinking of Wine, or by hot Baths, 
or by immediate Cold in the Head) of Hoarfnefs, of 
the Night Squinancc, of the falling of the Vvula, 
or Pap of the Hals, of falling off of the Hair, of 
little Ulcers in the Head, ahd of Pain in the Teeth, 
2. In the Breaft. 
When the Breaft is in danger of any Difeafe. 6r 
Sicknefs, you (hall know it by thefe Signs or Symp- 
toms, to wit, Some Sweat will breakj through the 
whole Body, but chiefly about the Region of the 
Breaft, the Tongue will become big, and grofs and 
fait bilious Matter is fpit out of the Mouth vol untar 
tyj Pains arife in the Sides, Shoulders and Shoulder-. 226

without manifed Caufe; often 
much trouble and weaknefs for want of Sleep,vexed 
and oppreffed with Checkings and Strangling, % 
Drowth and Third is prefent,and in Sleep Trouble 
and Anxiety of Mind, ftraitnefs of the Bread vexes 
them, a weaknefs of the Arms and trembling of the 
Hands, Which Dlleafes of the Bread are often, 
cured after this Manner. In the fird Place, give 
and provoke a Vomitor in the Morning before Meat 
fading. Whoever therefore are plealcd after this 
Manner to vomit, let them eat or devour Radiflbes, 
Crefles, Rochet, Muftard or Purflane; afterward 
let them vomit by taking a plentiful Draught of 
luke-warm Water. Thefe who through negligence 
pafs over the forefaid Signs and Remedies, may be 
afraid of thefe Difeafes, vi%. Pleurify, of .the Peri- 
■pneumonia, of Melancholy, of acute and fharp Fe- 
vers, of Frenzies, of the Lethargy, and with the 
Hickup a vehement Heat of the Jaws or Cheeks, or 
hot or red Swellings. , 
*"lf any Difeafe affe& the Belly, it is difcovered 
by thefe Symptoms. Firft of all,the Belly is drawn 
together,mutters and is vexed, Meat and Drink have 
a bitter Rellfli and Tafte, there is an Heavinefs Sc 
Trouble in the Knees & Legs,an inflexible ftiffnefs in 
theßack-bone orLoins,with a wearinefs of the whole 
Body, without any manifeft Caufe. When you 
obferve thefe Symptoms, the Body is to be mollified 
and made foluble, by no kind of Medicine, but by 
Diet: for it is better and far more fure to make ufc 
of thefe Things wherein there can be no Offence. 
3 . In the Belly. Of this kind and number are Beets boiled ioMulfe- 
Water,andGarlick boiled with Mallows,Sowr-docks» 
Mercury, all made up and rinded'with Honeys 
every one of thefe purge the Belly gently and a- 
bundantly; for which, if any of thefe Prefages be 
more and more vehement, you {hall infoie the Li- 
quor or Juice ofßaftard or Garden Saffron in all 
the Decoctions, for this is more pleafant and more 
Pure. Alfb fmooth Coleworts boiled in a good Quan- 
tity of Water, will be very profitable- A Draught 
of this Broth to the Quantity of five Ounces with 
Honey and Salt will help mightily. And likewlfc 
the Deco&ion of Firches-drunken in the fameMea- 
fiire, for it worketh the fame Effcdf, Thefe Signs 
and Helps being (lighted and little efteemed, often-

4. In the Bladder* 
When any Dlfeafe is approaching to the Bladder, 
it is known by thcfe Marks and Symptoms. After 
aiittle Meat, fulneft is decerned to trouble or vex 
much, there arife Puffs of Wind, and breeding of 
"Wind in the Body, belching or rifting, and Pains 
through the whole Body : Sleep is troublefbme and 
painful, the Urine thin, watery and dropping; Dif- 
ficulty alfb about the privy Members, Buboes or 
oedsmous Swellings. When fuch like Signs or Pre- 
Pages appear, they are conveniently to be helped 
By Remedies forcing and provoking Urine. That 
whjch doth perform this without Danger, is the Roots of Ferinel and Parflcy fteeped, and deCo&cd 
in thin fragrant white Wine, ft that eight Ounces 
of the Broth or Liquor be given every Day, to wit, 
Morning and Evening, with the Water of Garrets* 
Alexander, or Elecampane, or any of theft, for they 
are all alike profitable; Alftthe Water of Fitches 
fteeped or boiled,drunk with Wine'by theDiftaftd* 
will produce the like Effect. Whoever imprudently 
negle&s the fore laid Signs and Remedies, let him 
be afraid of theft, vi%. of the Dropfy, of the fwel- 
lingofthc Spleen, of the Pain of the Liver, of the 
Grave], of Pain in the Reins, Strangury, Golick. 
Moreover in all the Signs and Maladies which are
