 three or four New-hdd Eggs, and a little Butter j give this luke-warm to

 fied^ and as much Oil de Bay as a Walinut, and give it the Horfe to drink,

But better then all thefe it is, to take of Elicampane, Annifeeds, and 

 1 jcoras, of each one Penny worth,boil them in three Pints of Ale or Beer, 

 till one pint be conliimed, the add unto it a Quarter of a Pint of Sallet-
