228 MEDICAL REMAINS. 



The preparation of gar lick. 



Take garlic four ounces, boil it upon a soft fire 

 in claret wine, for half an hour. Take it out and 

 steep it in vinegar ; whereto add two drams of cloves, 

 then take it forth, and keep it in a glass for use. 



The artificial preparation of damask roses for smell. 



Take roses, pull their leaves, then dry them in a 

 clear day in the hot sun : then their smell will be 

 as gone. Then cram them into an earthen bottle, 

 very dry and sweet, and stop it very close ; they 

 will remain in smell and colour both fresher than 

 those that are otherwise dried. Note, the first 

 drying, and close keeping upon it, preventeth all 

 putrefaction, and the second spirit cometh forth, 

 made of the remaining moisture not dissipated. 



A restorative drink. 



Take of Indian maiz half a pound, grind it not 

 too small, but to the fineness of ordinary meal, and 

 then bolt and scarce it, that all the husky part may 

 be taken away. Take of eryngium roots three 

 ounces, of dates as much, of enula two drams, of 

 mace three drams, and brew them with ten shilling 

 beer to the quantity of four gallons : and this do, 

 either by decocting them in a pottle of wort, to be 

 after mingled with the beer, being new tapped, or 

 otherwise infuse it in the new beer, in a bag. Use 

 this familiarly at meals.
