MEDICAL REMAINS. 426 



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 he 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 serce 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. 



Against the waste of the body by heat. 



Take sweet pomegranates, and strain them lightly, 

 not pressing the kernel, into a glass ; where put some 

 little of the peel of a citron, and two or three cloves, 

 and three grains of ambergrease, and a pretty deal of 

 fine sugar. It is to be drunk every morning whilst 

 pomegranates last.
