party thereupon laid to {weat in his bed; if treacle be not to be had, take it alone in 
carduus, or angelica water. The ftalks or roots candied and eaten fatting, are good — 
prefervatives in time of infeéti ion, and at other times to warm and comfort a cold 
ftomach. The root alfo fteeped in vinegar, anda little of that vinegar taken fome- 
times fafting, and the root f{melled unto, is good for the fame purpofe. A water 
_ diftilled from the root fimply, or fteeped in wine, and diftilled in glafs, is much more

deep ulcers, or the powder of the root, in want of either, doth cleanfe and caufe 
them to heal quickly,° by covering the naked bones with flefh. ‘The difti led Water
