We may also give the juice of endive, or coriander seed, triturated with hot water or with oxycrate; or a decoction of the herb mouse-ear, or the shavings of hart’s horn, or sinopic vermilion finely levigated. And they may swallow by degrees two spoonfuls of the oil of bitter unripe olives, for by its bitterness it kills them, and by its lubricity it drags them along and evacuates them with the fæces. When inflammation and distension of the intestines are present, we must have recourse to a cataplasm of linseed and of the flower of lupines, and of wormwood, and of the roots of bryony in hydromel, or pour upon the hypochondria the oil of camomile, wine, and the infusions of the fruit of wormwood and aloes. When the fevers are not very troublesome we may mix with the sebesten plums some mint, and give them: and when there is no fever we may administer the more drastic medicines, such as the decoction of seriphum, or of calamint, or of fern, or the seed of cardamon, or a decoction of the root of acid pomegranate reduced to one third, or of toasted cumin, and of tawny-coloured natron, of each, scr. iij; or wormseed, or southernwood, or both made into pills with honey, or scr. iij of bitter lupines, or the levigated seed of cabbage or of rocket, or wormwood which is often sufficient alone. We may give of washed aloes to the amount of scr. iij; which is one of our most celebrated remedies; but to stronger persons we may give them unwashed. And since children will not take the aloes from a cup, they are to be secured upon their back, and their mouth being forced open by a spoon, we are to inject in spite of them the aloes by means of a syringe having a strong pipe, throwing it in as far as possible. This is an admirable method with children who can hardly be prevailed upon to take medicines, and in this way we may often inject soup in cases of anorexia. And cyphi and masuaphium may be properly administered, and burnt hart’s horn with pepper in honey or oxymel; and we may also endeavour to give the other medicines in oxymel. But the vinegar of squills will be still better, especially when given to adults. Or mustard with oil and vinegar may be given to the amount of a spoonful. Those whose bowels are troubled with a flux owing to worms may take a potion of the juice of plantain, or the plaintain itself may be given in a dry state, for it is of use both for the flux and the worms. We may apply to them cataplasms of crude barley flour, of fern, of wormwood, of the flower of lupines, of wormseed, and of southernwood, and likewise pomegranate rind, acacia, galls, and the flowers of the wild pomegranate are to be mixed with them. And since many people often loathe bitter draughts, we may give of those we have mentioned, such as are not decidedly bitter, and in addition, ground pine and horehound, elecampane, bay berries, cassia, thyme, pennyroyal, carpesium, cyperus, polypody, iris, bastard-saffron, madder, Egyptian thorn, with an equal quantity
