73 READY DOCTOR.

For a Spotted Fever.

LET the Patient drink about an English Pint of Possited Ale, with the Possit-head, for that is the strength thereof, once per day, for 3 Days; I mean as much each of these Days. And if you can obtain Blae Berries, a Handful eaten after each Possit, you will still be the better. If the Fever be in Winter, when such Berries are absent, give the Patient half as many Junipers, instead thereof.

Probatum est.

For the Stone and Sand in the Reins.

DISSOLVE 144 Black Snails in Wine, about two Bottles of Malaga : Divide this into 12 Parts, to serve 12 Days, warming each Part well before you take it. The Snails must at first be boiled among the Wine : This is the truest method to dissolve them.

Probatum Est. To Cherish the Spirits.

TAKE of Orange Juice 1 English Pint, and of Port Wine as much ; compound these together, and take a Glass thereof each day, till done.
