O.: '?3Y' j^MM A briefe and accurate Treatife, concerning the taking of the furbc of T o B A c c o 5 which very many ia thcfe dayes do too too licca- ciaufly ufc. HS H E hearb Tobacco is of muchf I antiquicie and repucatiori among che i JndiMs oi America. It is alfo called yWcotia»i but neither this nor that is the nam c that the Indians give un- to it : for ic was called. Tobacco by the Spaniards^ by reafon of an Ifland fp named^ which abounded with this hearbrand by the French^ mtn^ Nicotian^ of the name ®f one Hicoty that firft gave the intelligence thereof unto them. But the Indians call it Petnn^ ot Tefnm ^ which indeed is aifi) the fitteft name that both we and other Nati- ons may call it by .deriving it of PeU^for it is farrc fetchtand lauch defired. And thus much for the name. As touching die temperature and faculties of it, itishotanddrieinthethirddegree^ aadhathade- Tlt^ndcuifcrf; letcriall , or venemoas qualitie^ as I fuppofe : for '^<>^^^«^* it being any way taken in to. the body ^ ittortureth Y y a^ j^i ATreafifeofTohacc0. and difturbcth the fame with riolent ejcflions both upward and downward^ aftonifheth the fpiritSj ftu- pifiech and bcnummeth che fcnfes and all the mem- bers. This noyfome facultie of Tobacco procecdcth not from the temperacurc of ic^ but from the very ^ffcocic of its fubftance. Asforche ftupifyingorbe- nummiBi^ qualicie thereof) it is bcft perceived upon the taking of the fume at the inoqch : for thereup-* on followeth a drunken-like lightneflTe of the heac^, and efpecially if it be much taken at once^ a be- numming fleepincffe of the limbes and fenfes. Wherefore Tobacco y though ic be in tafte, biting^ and in temperature j hot, hath notwithftandinga bcnumming qualitiej which, becaufe it cannot de- pend of an extrestmc cold quaJitie;, the hcarb being very evidently hot, it followeth ^ that it is hot and anorbenumming, not benumming by reafon of its temperature^) butthroughtheproperticof its fub- ftance. There is in the )uyce of ihi^hearb an excel- lent digeftiiigjinundifying, and confplidating facul- tie i by meanes whereof , it is of ineffable force f€)r the fpeedy curing of any wound or cut in the. ficfh, or foafe$5 ulcers, fcabbsjScc. for which it is wbrthy of veiry great eftecmc, and not i^uch for any other propertie to be magnified and rclptftedj ( as I conceive. ) And thus much briefly concer- ning the nattirt of Toiacco. tlj::^ Aftobjcaicn Before I palTe to deliver mine opinion concer- of our .ulgar ni^g the ufe and faculties of the fume J muft clearc TobaccoftJi. an objeaion of our vulgar Tobacconifts, which I feeme xo heart them make againft che noyfome qualities that I have averred to b^luTohcco^ faying J A treat ife efTelacc^^ ^47 faying^ that upon the taking thereof they find no tortures and violent cjedlionSsOr ftupifyings of their members and fenfes.

I doe deny the argument 5 and alfo rejcft their experience : for their lewd and prepo* fterous cuftome in taking this fume is convenient for no confticution or ftate of body : for^ one while they take the fume> another they drink, and fo con- tinue by turnc^ untiil they fall aflecp^ vomit^ or be drunk: wherefore it is no marvell that upon the ufe of the fiame they excrete very many rheuma-^ tick fupeifluitieSj feeing that by this their prepofte- rous and unreafonable mingle-mangle of fmoak and drink, farrc more crudities and fupcrfluities are bred, than can by vertue of the fume be confumed or excreted^ as it is to bee feene in them that are given to Tobacco, and the Pot, whom you may fee to have tumid and fmokic faces ^ with turgid and flatulent bellies. Hecre alfo fome^ I know^ which are delighted with the drinking downe of this fume, that I may fo fpeake , will obje<3: againft that which hath bia fpoken againft that manner of taking it ^ namely, that upon the taking of it downe after meat, they find no perturbation or offence 3 but rather, very great commodity, by furthering the coacoSion. I muft tell them, that in this they are grofly de* fcivcd: Firft, becaufc their daily cuftome of im- bibing Atreatife oftohdcco. 3^3 bibing the fume taketh away the fenfe of perturba* tion 5 for by ufe and cuftome^ any thing ( though contrary j is made familiar unto Nature, as 1 before have touchedrSccondly^thcy are nolelTe deceived, thinking by imbibing the fume^ that the concoftioa is furthered ^ being not able to diftinguifh between * conco&ion 8c diftribnition ; for ic is the worft things and moft pernicious to the bodiej to occafion the ^ diftribution of the meates before they are con^ . codied in the ftomack 5 which they doe, that im- bibe or drink downe the fume after meat. And ve- rily,thecaufc of this their errour^isfome emptinefTc of the ftomack-, or provocation toftoole^ which they feclc upon the receiving of the fume^not con- fidering, that this their emptineflc andill diftributi- on of the meates^and confequently, provocation to ftoole, proceed from the purgative facultie of the fiime. Wherfore I would have them to underftand, rfiat though they feeme to be well for the timc^ei- ther by reafon of their youth ^or of a ftrong confti- tution of body^thac this prepofterous caking of the fiime^ will upon the fudden, luine the ftate of thcJ? bodie^ by fpoyling the ftomack^deftroying the con- coftioHj and filling the whole body with crude and noyfome fuperfluities. If they ftiall againe urge to fbunne thefe difcom- inodities , and maintaine another cuftome no leflc perniciouSjthat they will take the fume about three or foure hpures after meat^ when the concodion is cffefted, for deturbing or driving down the reliques of the meats , and crudities that fliall bee in the fto- , mack, I would have them to know^ that the hurt Z % v/ill J J- Atreatife offobacce. will bee farre greater than the profit : for bcfidef that, in this they pervert the operation of Nature, they greatly alfo annoy the lungs, difturbc and in- fringe the fpirits, corrupt the breath, and deftroy - the fanguifying facultie of the liver. I marvell verii ly at the madnefle of thefe men. For^ what is there in the fume that fliould fo greatly occafion delight? Not the fmcUj becaufe it is unpleafant, much leflc • the favour, for it is ftinking and fuliginous. Befides thefe idle afFedtors of Tobacco, there are slfo fome who are grave and feemingly wife and judicious, that take it moderatly, aiadmoft com^ monly at fixed times ^ but with its proper adjupft^ which ( as they doe fuppofe ) is a cup of Sack, and this they think to bee no bad phyfick 3 nay^ they fo relie upon this facred medicines as the moft of them become detraftors both of Phyfick and Phyficians, for which caufe they (hall not paffe withoutmy tax. As for Sack^^it is without all con troverlie, very 'help- full,comfortable and agreeable to mans nature^as I have ftiewed in my Book, which is entituled. Via reSa advitam Ion gam. Tobacco is not fo^but rather oftentimes hurtful^efpecially if itbenot judicioufly ufcd. But whether Sack be good to be taken upon Tobacco, I will hereafter ( notwithftanding thefe detraftors, for the good of others) demonftrate.

The tetith and laft is , that you goe not abroad into the aire prefently upon the taking of tlie fume^ but rather refraine therefrom the ipace of halfe an houre, or more, efpecially if the feafon be cold^or moyft, becaufe the pores of the body being open, by meancs of the ftrong working ©f the fume, even te A treatife oftohaccd, I i 3j^ to the outtcrmoft^ and fapcrficiaric parts of the bo- dy, ineffable hurts m^y happen^ by the fuddcn ac- ccfle of the aire.

Let thefe fume-gallants enjoy their vanity^ and for theirbettergrace, it were good they were alfo at- tended with Chym»ey-fwceping Lackey cs. ■ JsTow from that which hath beene feid 3 you may collet a two-fold manner of taking of Tobacco, which ought to be altered and obferved, according ^ occafiouj and the particuldiLftate of him that ta- keth it, {hall require. The' firftis ^ a dctaiaiflgof the fume ojaly in the mouth, j^d thraflring it forth againe at the noftrills , for heating and drying of the braine^ aad for diflblving and difEpating of cold hufporS) and faperfluous vapours that rcfide in it. The other is, a receiving of it into the ftomack and lungs, for coufuming and deturbing of crudities and windincfle^thatftiall offend in thefe parts. But The fume of lad vife that the fume be feldome taken down, and ^^^^^^ ""^"^ th.enjScither, but fome great neceflity, or extremi, k^ndovvnV tie urging itj bothbecaufe it greatly offendeth the uponcverr body with its violen?operadoa, and alfo for that l^«^^®^«»^<'n? itmay,byreafonofitsexficcati0gnature, be very hurtfull to the lungs, liver, and milt 5 as I will by and by (hew. Wherefore my counfell is, that fomc fafer remedic (if time (hall permit ) be ufcd for confumingtnddeturbbgof the flatulent crudities of ^ 260 ^ treatife ^fTddcc(f. of the ftomack and bowels.

The like caution muft be ©bferved in ta- king of this fumej of them, that have moyft and rhcumatick braines ^ and yet are of a hot and drie temperature of body 5 fach as are the cbolerick, who are commonly much infefted with rheumes iby the afcending of too many fuperflaous vapours to the hcadj occafioned by the immoderate heat of the liver and ftomack. Such^Ifayj muft alfotake the fume with great caurionund moderation , left in takingit for the rheume^they over heatj diftem- pcr^ and confequently ruinc the whole habit of the body. Secondly^ you muft diligently confider whether the fume of Tobacco be convenient for the ftomack, lungs, and liverj for if crude and windie hwmors abound in the ftomack and bowels through a cold imbecillity oftheliver^ or if a colddiftem- perature, and thinne, crude^ and flatulent humors domincere in the lungs^ then the imbibing alfo or taking downe of the fume into thofe partSj may^ fo the ftomack be empty of meatSj be fonietimes to^ ^ lerabkj yea profitable 5 efpeciallyfor ftrong bo- dies, in cafe of extremitiej and when no becter re- medies at the inftantj can be had : for by ics hea- ting, exficcating, and purging facultie, it fomewhac corre<5l:eth the diftemperature , confumech winde^ and forthj/^icb expurgeth the ofFenfive humors- But by reafon of its turbulent and fickly operation, J cannot commend the often ufe thereof^nor at any time approve it to them that are ot a weak and va- letudinary ftac^ of body* Here therefore two cau- toTe oMerved tions do offer themfelves to be obfervcd concerning J" ^^^"^^ ^^^^ * tne baccodowiK 352 AtreatifeofT^haecd. the imbibing, or taking down the fume : the ©nc in refpeft of the lungs ; the other^ in refpeft of the lungs and liver too. For if the lungs be obftrui^ed of a chick and clammie humor,or fubjedl to fuch ob- . ftruclionj then the taking down of die fume is i^ery pernicious, becaufe it doth by reafon of its heat and flccity, more harden and condenfe the humour^ by meanes whereof^ it is altogether unfit to be excre- ted. Neither in this cafej for the fame rcafon^s the taking of the fume -only in themouthjand th^iift forth at the noftrils^to be approved. From hence it caHilopunka. js manifbft^ with how great prudencej caution and providencejWe are to ufe hearing & drying remedies in afFeftions of the lungsJn like manner alfo the ta- king down of the fume ^ is very pernicious tothdin that are affected v/ich a drie diftemperature of the liver^ or lungs^ although the ft®maek atd inteftines ifhall fometimes be annoyed with crude atid flateouS hurnors^beca^fe it will caufe greater hurt^by encrea- fing the diftemperature of thofc parts^than commc*- ditie in difcuffing and purging forth the crudities of the ftomack and bowells. And therefore ( in mine opinion)ic is farre better^in fuch cafej altogether to abftaine from taking down the 'fume^ and to ufe a more fafe and eafier remedie. The like caution muft alfo be obfcrved in refpe(3: of the mile that is dtftruaedj orfubjed toobftrDai-. on.
