Book.5.
Of the Art of Diſtillation.
157
This fire may either ſerve for ſuch diſtillations as require a ſtrong, and laſting heat, or for ordinary uſes either in the Kitchen, or chambers.
A new invention for Bathes.
Seeing by bathing and ſweating moſt diſeaſes are cured, eſpecially ſuch as proceed from wind, hot and diſtempered humours or cold and congealed humours, becauſe all theſe are rarified, and evaporated by tranſpiration in ſweating, or bathing, I thought it a thing much conducing to mans health to ſet downe ſuch a way of bathing and ſweating that might be very effectuall, and appropriated to any particular diſeaſe or diſtemper.
I ſhall therefore here commend to you a way of bathing by diſtillation, the manner of which you may fee by theſe enſuing veſſels.
