1. Of the Juices. 
2. Of the Gums and Rosins. 
Concrete Juices, or Juices made thick, 
are either

starch. 
Hot in the first degree. Sugar. 
In the second. Labdanum.

Juice of Liquorice helps roughness of the 
Trachea Arteria, which is in plain English 
called the windpipe, the roughness of which

breathing, &c. It allays the heat of the 
stomach and liver, eases pains, soreness and 
roughness of the reins and bladder, it 
quencheth thirst, and strengthens the 
stomach exceedingly: It may easily be 
carried about in one’s pocket, and eat 4 
little now and then. | 
Sugar cleanses and digests, takes away 
roughness of the tongue, it strengthens the 
reins and bladder, being weakened: being
