sickness and the convulsions, being dis- 
creetly gathered and used. 
Oak Apples are dry and binding; being 
boiled in milk and drank, they stop fluxes

Snails with shells on their backs, being 
first washed from the dirt, then the shells 
broken, and they boiled in spring water, 
but not scummed at all, for the scum will 
sink of itself, and the water drank for ordi- 
nary drink is a most admirable remedy for 
consumption; being bruised and applied to
