Pàgina 161 - The swellings in some grew hard, and they applied violent drawing plasters, or poultices, to break them ; and if these did not do, they cut and scarified them in a terrible manner. In some, those swellings were made hard, partly by the force of the distemper, and partly by their being too violently drawn, and were so hard that no instrument could cut them, and then they burnt them with caustic«, so that many died raving mad with the torment, and some in the very operation.
Pàgina 37 - The skill of the physician shall lift up his head: and in the sight of great men he shall be in admiration. 4 The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them.
Pàgina 137 - So, by a calenture misled,, The mariner with rapture sees, On the smooth ocean's azure bed, Enamell'd fields and verdant trees : With eager haste he longs to rove In that fantastic scene, and thinks It must be some enchanted grove ; And in he leaps, and down he sink;. Five hundred chariots just bespoke, Are sunk in these devouring waves, The horses drown'd, the harness broke, And here the owners find their graves.
Pàgina 245 - HERE, five foot deep, lies on his back A cobbler, starmonger and quack, Who to the stars, in pure good will, Does, to his best, look upward still. Weep, all you customers that use His pills, his almanacks, or shoes ; And you that did your fortunes seek, Step to his grave but once a week: This earth, which bears his body's print, You'll find has so much virtue in't, That I durst pawn my ears 'twill tell Whate'er concerns you full as well, In physic, stolen goods, or love, As he himself could when...
Pàgina 226 - Indies, to serve you with all their fleet) That even the med'cinal use shall make you a faction And party in the realm? As, put the case, That some great man in state, he have the gout, Why, you but send three drops of your elixir, You help him straight: there you have made a friend.
Pàgina 54 - I scarce had left a wretch to give a fee. Some fell by laudanum, and some by steel, And death in ambush lay in every pill : For save or slay, this privilege we claim, Though credit suffers, the reward's the same.
Pàgina 37 - HONOUR A PHYSICIAN WITH THE HONOUR DUE UNTO HIM FOR the uses which ye may have of him: for the Lord hath created him. For of the most High cometh healing, and he shall receive honour of the king. The skill of the physician shall lift up his head: and in the sight of great men he shall be in admiration.
Pàgina 267 - Eyes she can couch, or she can syringe ears. Of graduates I dislike the learned rout, And choose a female doctor for the gout.
Pàgina 53 - Here mummies lay, most reverendly stale, And there, the tortoise hung her coat of mail ; Not far from some huge shark's devouring head The flying-fish their finny pinions spread. Aloft in rows large poppy heads were strung, And near, a scaly alligator hung : In this place, drugs in musty heaps decay'd ; In that, dried bladders and drawn teeth were laid.
