Afterward the Patient must be often purg'd with twelve Grains of Scammony, and fifteen Grains of _Mercurius Dulcis_; and these Purgations must be continu'd, till it appears that the Fluxes are neither yellowish nor greenish, nor of any other bad Colour. When they are become White, and grown Thready, they may be stopt with Astringents: Amber and dry'd Bones beaten to Powder, eighteen Grains of each, with one Grain of _Laudanum_, the Composition being taken in Conserve of Roses, are very good for this Purpose. _Crocus Martis Astringens_, or else its Extract, taken from half a Dram to a whole Dram, in like manner performs the same Operation. As soon as the _Gonorrhæa_ is stopt, to be certain of a perfect Cure, a Dram of the _Mercurial Panacæa_ is to be taken, from fifteen to twenty Grains at a time, in Conserve of Roses. In the mean while, if a small Salivation shou'd happen, it must be let alone for the present, since it may be stopt at pleasure by the Purgations. When it is requisite to restrain the _Gonorrhæa_, _Mercury_ must not be given any longer, in regard that it is a Dissolvent, which is only good when the Glandules of the Groin or Testicles are swell'd, or else when it is expedient to set the _Chaude-pisse_ a running, after it hath been too suddenly stopt. At the same time that the Astringents are taken with the Mouth, {170} Injections also are to be made into the Yard; such as are prepar'd with _Lapis Medicamentosus_, of which one Dram is put into eight Ounces of Plantane-Water. All Astringents that are not Causticks, are proper for the Syringe. _Of Shankers._ They are round Ulcers, and hollow in the middle, which appear upon the _Glans_ and the _Præputium_. To cure 'em, they must be touch'd with the _Lapis Infernalis_, and brought to Suppuration by the means of red Precipitate mixt with the Ointment of _Andreas Crucius_. _Oleum Mercurii_ laid on a Pledget or Bolster, is very efficacious to open Skankers, and consume their Flesh. The Patient must be well purg'd with _Mercurius Dulcis_ and Scammony, taking twelve or fifteen Grains of each in Conserve of Roses; and after these Purgations are sufficiently reiterated, he may take the _Mercurial Panacæa's_. It is an excellent Remedy for all sorts of Pocky Distempers not yet consummated, or arriv'd at the greatest height of Malignity. _Of _Bubo_'s._ _Bubo's_ are gross Tumours or Abcesses that arise in the Groin, the perfect Maturity of which is not to be waited for in order to open 'em; because it is to be fear'd lest the corrupt Matter remaining therein too long, might be convey'd into the Blood by the Circulation, and so produce the grand Pox: Therefore it is {171} necessary to open 'em betimes with a Lancet, or else with a Train of potential Cauteries, if they are too hard. They ought to be Suppurated for a considerable time: The Patient must be well purg'd with Scammony and _Mercurius Dulcis_: He must also take the _Mercurial Panacæa's_. _Of the Pox._
