sharp liuniours falling on them, and restrainoth immoderate 

 sweatings. TJic mucilage taken from the seeds of Quince?, 

 and boiled in a little water, is very good to cool the heat, 

 and heal the sore breasts of women. The same with a 

 little sugar, is good to lenify the harshness and hoarse- 

 ness of the throat, and roughness of the tongue. The 

 cotttfn or down of Quinces boiled and applied to plague 

 sores, healeth thera up ; and laid as a piaister, made up 

 with wax, it bringcth hair to them that are bald, and

Raddisb, or Horsc-Raddish. c?. {h- 3. d. 2.) 



TuE garden and also the HorseRaddish are so well known, 

 that they need no description.

Garden Raddishcs are in wantonness by the gentry 

 eaten as a sallad, but they breed scurvy humours in the 

 stomach, and corrupt the blood, and then send for a 

 physician as fast as you can ; this is one cause makes the 

 owners of such nice palates so unhealthful ; yet for such 

 as are troubled with the gravel, stono, or stoppage of 

 urine, they arc good physic, if the body be strong that 

 takes them: you may make the juice of the roots into a 

 Eyrup if you jtlease, for that use. They purge by uriua 

 exceedingly.
