To the Reader.

Friend,

IF thou wouldst be found so to thy selfe, buy this handfull of Phy­sicke, the benefit will repay its price treble; for it is thy good it ayms at; herein being shewed what Physicall Simple may be used instead of another, and that without danger to the sicke. In Countrey Towns very often that Simple which is prescribed by the Doctor or Physitian is not to be had: this short Book tels what o­ther may be administred instead thereof, and will prove as effectuall in the operation. It hath been approved of by Latine Authors, and is now translated, to be made use of among Englishmen; experience will tell thee more of its worth. Farewell.

ΠΕΡῚ ΤΩ῀Ν ΑΝΤΙΒΑΛΛΟΜΈΝΩΝ. OR, A Treatise of Succedanea's, One Ingredient used for another in the administring of Physick.
Translated into English for publique good.

The learned worke of William Rondeletius sometimes Regius Professor Monspeliensis.

AFter I had a long time considered and enquired concerning those Ingredients which Physitians use in administring Physick, instead of such as are prescri­bed, but are not to be got (commonly termed Suc­cedanea;) at length I lighted upon the Treatise of that most learned man, and famous Practitioner William Rondeletius concerning the same; which I thought fit to publish in English, for the generall good of my native Countrey, as a Piece very pro­fitable and usefull; and have for the easier finding them out digested the Simples into an Alphabeti­call order, that so the benefit may be the greater.

Physicians are often forced to use one Simple in the place of another; for every soile doth not bring forth all Simples, nor can they everywhere meet with most proper Ingredients. In the Coun­trey [Page 2]they are forced to use such Simples as are at hand; and in asmuch as upon sudden occasions pro­per Ingredients are not at hand, but the present must be used, therefore they must necessarily make choice of such Simples as may with most safety be administred instead of those which are most pro­per, but cannot at present be had; as we read Gal­len did, and that with good successe, in the like case; For wanting Euphorbium to draw forth stings out of the fresh, he did instead thereof take from the Hives Propolis, that which Bees make at the mouth of their Hives to keep out the cold.

These Succedanea are now more necessary then ever they were; both because at this day we want many of those simples which ancient Physicians did prescribe, and made use of, being they were sup­plied with a plentifull and fertile increase thereof in their own Countreys, Eastern and Forraigne; and also for that counterfeit, and (by the crafty in­vention of Jews and Merchants) adulterate Medi­cines are transported, which if we reject, we must of necessity substitute others in the place thereof; besides many ancient simple Medicaments, former­ly well known, and very common, are at this day exolete, and grown out of knowledge. Very many usefull compositions were devised and found out by the Arabians, and most soveraigne remedies of great use among them, the Simples whereof (by reason of the barbarousnesse of their terms) are altogether unknown unto us. For we are ignorant what they mean by those uncouth strange names, or else want the Simples themselves.

But in the choice and use of these Succedanea, that most pernicious custome among Physitians is deservedly to be rejected, which hath now for many yeeres been much in use, though to the great pre [...]e and wrong of Patients; in which, in [Page 3]compounding Medicines, they confusedly mingle all such Drugs which are commended or prescri­bed usefull in such a disease to be applied to the part affected, or but soveraine for some symptome; so that having made use of all of the same quality, they have not left unprescribed one Herbe or Drug which may be used instead of another; whereas, if they would content themselves with one, two, or three Herbs, the Apothecary would never be desti­tute of Succedanea; But because quantity will be necessary, for one handfull adde two; for two, three or foure, &c. Hence will ensue a double be­nefit; first, the more certain working of the Phy­sicke, and a more easie and speedy preparing there­of; and secondly, the greatest grace of his Art, the Physitian will appeare to abound with variety of Drugs and Succedanea, when in his Recipies he can double, vary, and change his Drugs, and to under­stand more then the ordinary sort of Mountebanks and Empericks. As for example, if in his decoction he hath prescribed Borrage, but in defect thereof substitutes wild Buglosse or contra; again if garden Endive be wanting, to prescribe the Juice or Sy­rope thereof; if Succory be not to be had, to pre­scribe Lyons tongue or Broad-lease, for ground Pine, Germander, or contrary; but what shall the Apothecary doe, if he prescribe all Drugs in one and the same Recipe? certainly it will prove no o­ther then that Poeticall Chaos, a rude and indige­sted lump.

Let them consider and continually call to mind that of Villanovanus; it is deceit, cousenage to use compounds where simples may be easily had.

Let them leave off that bad custome, and avoyd it as a dangerous rocke; let them likewise beware of naughty, covetous, dishonest, unlearned, and unskilfull Apothecaries, who greedy of wealth and [Page 4]profit, commend an hodge-podge of even halfe rotten and putrified Drugs. Some do this that they may boast their store, or else out of ignorance or pride; and if any learned Physitians do it, it is that they may not seem to be lesse experienced in the knowledge of Drugs, then in the vertue and use thereof.

Lastly, since there are some wholsome and fit compositions, by experience and reason received and approved, invented by ancient Physitians, we ought to search out, approve, and provide some Succedanea, that so soveraigne and excellent medi­cines may be prepared, which in that respect are no waies to be refused and rejected, because with such good successe some Succedanea, not inferiour to the simples prescribed, may with equall benefit accomplish and effect all the promises of genuine or naturall Physicke.

Let your Succedanea be as neere as may be, of the same genus and species, nature and kind.

The universall or common Theoreme or speculation. The Drugs that are to be used one instead of another, whe­ther in inward or outward cau­ses

  • must agree in vertues & ope­rations both
    • secret and
    • manifest,
  • and in consistence,
  • and be alike in
    • taste
    • smell
    • age
    • time and place of growth,
    • nature, and temperament of quality.

Some Drugs may by change be used in outward remedies which are not to be used in inward ap­plyings, as the Juice of Carline Thistle may be used for the Juice of Lettice outwardly, but must not be taken for it inwardly, because it is poyson.

Sometime not the whole simple, but some parts must be substituted, or used instead of another as [Page 6]in a Muccago Mussilage of the seed of the Herbe Fleabane for a Muccago Mussilage of the seed of Quinces: all the seed of the Herb is not to be used, because the inward part thereof differs in temperament from a Mussilage, and is thought to be venemous; nor may the Quince Apple be used for the seed of the Quince, because they differ in o­peration and consistence.

Some recipeis or prescriptions in some remedies may be used instead of one another, as a conserve for the syrrop of the same simple whether of fruit, flower or root: as the conserve of Maidenhaire may be used for the syrrop of the same in opiates— but in the prescribing of the syrrop it cannot be so, because the forme or rule of the Physick will not permit it: For liquid druggs must be used in­stead of liquid, therefore if the syrrop be pre­scribed and not at hand, the destillation or deco­ction of the Herb is to be used instead thereof.

In some Candids or preserves, we may use the syrrop of the conserve, because they are conserved in the syrrop, as the syrrop of the conserve of Le­mons, for the syrrop of Lemon pill; the syrrop of the Conserve of the roote of Buglosse, for the syr­rop of Buglosse.

Emplaisters and oyntments may be mutually used one for another; in case the part affected may be found to admit thereof: as the plaister of filii Zachariae, for the resumptive oyntment, and contra: but in the paines of the breast or stomack unlesse the stifnesse thereof be dissolved, or other­wise mollified, it is not to be used, because plaisters when they are laid on, hinder the ribs from dila­ting, enlarging themselves, and the freenesse of breathing. A plaister of Cerusse or white lead, for unguentum album, unlesse the inflammation doe forbid it, which will not admit of neither hard nor stiffe remedies.

Divers other medicines may be used instead one of the other; provided that their vertue and operation be the same.

PIlls may be used instead of confections, and contra. as Hiera simply or aloes for the pils made of it, and the Herbe Benedicta or holywort, and contra for Pills to purge Phlegme, electuary diacarthame purgative with Lemon: for Pills to purge choler or melancholy, electuary of the juice of Roses and contra; so that the quantity of every one be observed. The doses of the Hiera and such like Electuaries are to be augmented by reason of the quantity of honey, which doth allay the strength of the Physick.

A Syrrop, for Eclegma or a lohoch, if it be taken by dissolving in the mouth: as the syrrop of Jujuba for Lohoch sound and approved, the syrrop of Poppeyes for Diacodion.

A powder for a Trochisous and contra. as the species of Diarrhodon for the Trochus of Diarrho­don, a Trochus of Squills, for a Lohoch of the same, the quantity being either auginented or dimini­shed according to the nature and quality of the dis­ease and the scope of Physick

In simples sometimes the parts are not strictly observed, as Turbith the root for Agarick in a Tro­chus, and contra. Thus a simple may be put for a composition or contra, as Colocyn this wild gourds, or Colloquintida in a lesse quantity, for Agarick; and a double or treble dose of wild Saffron for A­garick, and contra. And yet a simple Medicine for this use to be put in the place of another is hard to be found, which can truly, everyway and in every part agree as Avicennas testifies, be­cause two simple medicines in case of want of o­thers of like vertue and efficacy can scarce safely [Page 8]be applyed instead thereof. Which since it proves so difficult, he did apply sometime two, sometime three of equall weight and measure, sometime in a doubled and trebled medicine, the fift or eight part of another Medicine being added; because (saith he) there are very few medicaments which are wholely like others in temperament and ope­ration, or the same in consistence in grossenesse or thinnesse of the parts, and in other the hidden properties.

The use of druggs or me­dicaments in compositions is various and changeable in respect, either

  • Of The heat the cold­nesse the moistnesse the dri­nesse. In the begin­ning of the first, or in the mid­dle and first de­gree, and so of the rest.
  • Or Of the parts the clamminesse, the taste, the smell, the colour. the grosse­nesse. or the thin­nesse.

And therefore that which is like another in temperament, ofttimes differs from it in the grossenesse or thinnesse of the parts, or some other faculty and quality; as some thinke they may use Galanga or sweet cane for Folesfoot, or wild Spike­nard, & yet they do not agree in every operation; for galanga can onely provoke urine, and bring downe womens courses, and therefore to be sup­plied for Spikenard in prescriptions to provoke them: it hath no vertue to cause vomitting as Spikenard hath. In like manner the Hyacinth may be used instead of Anchusa or Buglosse Orcha­net: but if there be need of Anchusa for the Co­lour, as in oyntments, the Hyacinth is not proper: but instead thereof, dyers lacca or Red gum, Bra­sile, [Page 9]red Santalum, Painters Lacca or red gum, or scarlet Dye. Assa dulcis or that sweet gumme is not to be used for Assa foetida because of the smell, as Avicennas did in the griefe of the wombe, so by a sweet smell to have forst it upward, but it drawes towards sweet, flies from stinking sents or smells.

Some druggs are used for taste; which yet are not convenient in every particular, as Honey, and Manna may be used for Sugar in some sorts of re­medies as in laxative medicines, but in no wise in binding receits; for Manna is more loosening then either Sugar or Honey. Muccus a Mussilage, is usefull in a bloody Flux, and is used for a Len­tor. Fenegreek, which makes a Mussilage but hot, and therefore not to be used in spitting of blood, as in externall remedies, as in the in­flammation of the upper skin of the eyes, in which the white of an egge is preferred in the beginning and increase of the griefe, but in the stay and declining thereof a Mussilage fenegreeke is com­mended.

Those druggs which may be made use of instead of others, are not yet to be added in every sort of remedies; as Myrrhe may be used for Bdellium in Pills and oyntments, but in Pills made of Bdel­lium it must in no wayes be added, for Myrrhe causeth a greater Flux of blood and of the Heme­rods, as also of womens courses. Therefore in those druggs that are substituted this rule is to be observed, that the supposititious drugg, that is used in the Room of the adulterate genuine drugg, can effect the same which the genuine should, whether it be to heate, to coole, to make moist, to dry, to bind, to loose, or to concoct. For Wormewood (simply taken) Sea Wormewood, or Southerne­wood may be used; For Sea Wormewood, or [Page 10]Wormewood of Mount Taurus, Roman may be used; For Roman, the Wormwood which growes in the place where thou dwellest.

This may be done in the choise of all Herbs, they may be of any Countrey, yet let your choise be of such an one as is an Herb of the neerest bor­dering Country, or at least of the same tempera­ture, of which sort is Craux vulgarly Gallo a Pro­vince of Creet, where growes the best and grea­test store of our narrow leafe Thyme and Epithy­mon or that which growes oft upon it. In the se­cond place Herbs of moist Countreys, if it be a scortching Summer, may be used for Herbs of an hot Countrey, which Galen informes us he did in preparing a Theriace or remedy against Poyson, using the rocke-parsley of another Countrey for Macedonian rock parsley; and yet the temperature of the Country ought to be observed, for the Countrey doth very much adde to, or diminish from the vertue and goodnesse of the medicament; for the Sclavonian Flower deluce we may use the Venetian, and for the African the Florentine.

I come now to set downe the Succedanea, and first of Rootes.

For Rha ponticum: take the root of great Cen­tory▪ a pill of Rubarbe first.

For Pontick Rubarbe infused and strained: and rosted Rubar be is approved by many for em­pyreuma or a collection of corrupt matter in a mans body.

For Ruscum, Butchers broome: take the root [Page 12]of garden Sporage, and contra.

For Secacul, Sampire: take the root of a Sea­parsnip, Pastinaca.

For Serpentaria Dragon, take Sarus Dracunculus, Dragonwort.

For Turbith, a root to purge phlegme take the root of Thapsia, Turbith Mesuae, Agarick made into a Tro­chus, and Colochynthis or wilde gourd in a lesse quantity or dosis.

For Zingiber, take Ginger, Costum, Helenium, Helecompane, Pyrethrum, bastard Pelitory.

For Zingiber, take Mechin, Woolfbane.

  • Verbasci Longwort,
  • Ʋrticae Nettle,

Of all the sorts of them.

And lastly, all herbs of the same species or sort may be used for another, unlesse something disco­vered forbid, as in Perwinkle of which Dioscor. writes that one sort gripes or frets, another loo­sens the belly, another gathers and removes choller & phlegme, but the chief sort staies womens cour­ses, and the Dysentery or bloody-flux. So the wilde Cucumber and Garden melons, and Colocynthis differ in their operation; but this is wont to be found in very few herbs.

Also heed is to be taken to the parts; for some differ in their qualities, as the root Medium deco­cted stayes womens courses, being taken for certain daies: but the seed thereof taken in Wine brings them down. The seed of Juniper may be taken in­ward, but the shavings are discovered to be deadly to kill. The Juice of the herb Coriander is thought to be mortall, and yet the seed medicinall. There­fore it is better for Physitians to use universals at no time, but rather particulars; for, for the most [Page 15]part there is the greatest difference betwixt those which would be thought the neerest.
