The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
48
To
which
they
answered,
That
there
was
a
certain
Rock
in
the
parts
of
that
World,
which
contained
the
Golden
Sands,
which
Rock
was
hallow
within,
and
did
produce
a
Gum
that
was
a
hundred
years
before
it
came
to
its
full
strength
and
perfection;
this
Gum,
said
they,
if
it
be
held
in
a
warm
hand,
will
dissolve
into
an
Oyl,
the
effects
whereof
are
following:
It
being
given
every
day
for
some
certain
time,
to
an
old
decayed
man,
in
the
bigness
of
a
little
Pea,
will
first
make
him
spit
for
a
week,
or
more;
after
this,
it
will
cause
Vomits
of
Flegm;
and
after
that
it
will
bring
forth
by
vomits,
humors
of
several
colours;
first
of
a
pale
yellow,
then
of
a
deep
yellow,
then
of
a
green,
and
lastly
of
a
black
colour;
and
each
of
these
humours
have
a
several
taste,
some
are
fresh,
some
salt,
some
sower,
some
bitter,
and
so
forth;
neither
do
all
these
Vomits
make
them
sick,
but
they
come
out
on
a
sudden,
and
unawares,
without
any
pain
or
trouble
to
the
patient:
And
after
it
hath
done
all
these
mentioned
effects,
and
clear'd
both
the
Stomack
and
several
other
parts
of
the
body,
then
it
works
upon
the
Brain,
and
brings
forth
of
the
Nose
such
kinds
of
humors
as
it
did
out
of
the
Mouth,
and
much
after
the
same
manner;
then
it
will
purge
by
stool,
then
by
urine,
then
by
sweat,
and
lastly
by
bleeding
at
the
Nose,
and
the
Emeroids;
all
which
effects
it
will
perform
within
the
space
of
six
weeks,
or
a
little
more;
for
it
does
not
work
very
strongly,
but
gently,
and
by
degrees:
Lastly,
when
it
has
done
all
this,
it
will
make
the
body
break
out
into
a
thick
Scab,
and
cause
both
Hair,
Teeth,
and
Nails
to
come
off;
which
scab
being
arrived
to
its
full
maturity,
opens
first
along
the
back,
and
comes
off
all
in
a
piece
like
armour,
and
all
this
is
done
within
the
space
of
four
months.
