IMPROVE D. 15)3 



The Caufe proceeds from taking Cold upon- hard The Cav;fe 

 and laborious Exercife, fo that the Blood, ^V. (asj^^^jf'^ ^«' 

 it were ) llagnates, tho' near the Heart, and Parts 

 adjacent ; and this made the Sieur De Solleyfell ima- 

 gine the Anticor a Diftemper of the Peiicardium or 

 Bag which contains the Heart. 



Others are of Opinion, that it proceeds from 

 rank Feeding, and much Fatnefs. But let that be 

 as it will, here follows the Cure. 



As there is ftill a feverifli Heat more or lefs in I'he Cure,

 Wall, of each three Handfuls ; Camomile Floiuej-s, 

 one Handful ; Annifeed, and fnjoeet Fennel-Seed^ each 

 half an Ounce ; Linfeeds, one Ounce : Boil thefe in 

 three ^arts of Water to t^xvo j then Jlrain or prefs 

 out the Liquor jirongly ; and add of Car}o:oJiinum

 and common Plaijler-Oil, three Ounces : Mix. 



Thefe Ihould be injecled thro' a very long Pipe 

 for the Purpofe, and as warm as a Man can bear
