ed with wind, prescribes
a strange remedy. Put a pair of bellows end into a clyster pipe, and
applying it into the fundament, open the bowels, so draw forth the wind,
_natura non admittit vacuum_. He vaunts he was the first invented this
remedy, and by means of it speedily eased a melancholy man. Of the cure of
this flatuous melancholy, read more in Fienus de Flatibus, _cap. 26. et
passim alias_.

Against headache, vertigo, vapours which ascend forth of the stomach to
molest the head, read Hercules de Saxonia, and others.

If costiveness offend in this, or any other of the three species, it is to
be corrected with suppositories, clysters or lenitives, powder of senna,
condite prunes, &c. [Symbol: Rx] _Elect. lenit, e succo rosar. ana [Symbol:
Ounce] j. misce_. Take as much as a nutmeg at a time, half an hour before
dinner or supper, or _pil. mastichin. [Symbol: Ounce] j_. in six pills, a
pill or two at a time. See more in Montan. _consil. 229._ Hildesheim
_spicel. 2._ P. Cnemander, and Montanus commend [4413]"Cyprian turpentine,
which they would have familiarly taken, to the quantity of a small nut, two
or three hours before dinner and supper, twice or thrice a week if need be;
for besides that it keeps the belly soluble, it clears the stomach, opens
obstructions, cleanseth the liver, provokes urine."

These in brief are the ordinary medicines which belong to the cure of
melancholy, which if they be used aright, no doubt may do much good; _Si
non levando saltem leniendo valent, peculiaria bene selecta_, saith
Bessardus, a good choice of particular receipts must needs ease, if not
quite cure, not one, but all or most, as occasion serves. _Et quae non
prosunt singula, multa juvant_.
