MEDICAL REMAINS. 431 



To add to the maceration six grains of cremor tartari, 

 and as much enula. 



To add to the oxymel some infusion of fennel-roots 

 in the vinegar, and four grains of angelica-seed, and 

 juice of lemons, a third part to the vinegar. 



To take it not so immediately before supper, and to 

 have the broth specially made with barley, rosemary, 

 thyme, and cresses. 



[Sometimes to add to the maceration three grains of 

 tartar, and two of enula, to cut the more heavy and vis- 

 cous humours ; lest rhubarb work only upon the lightest. 



To take sometimes the oxymel before it, and some- 

 times the Spanish honey simple.] l 



4. To take once in the month at least, and for two 

 days together, a grain and a half of castor in my broth, 

 and breakfast. 



5. A cooling clyster to be used once a month, after 

 the working of the maceration is settled. 



Take of barley-water, in which the roots of bugloss 

 are boiled, three ounces, with two drams of red 

 sanders, and two ounces of raisins of the sun, 

 and one ounce of dactyles, and an ounce and a 

 half of fat caricks ; let it be strained, and add 

 to it an ounce and a half of syrup of violets : 

 let a clyster be made. Let this be taken (with 

 veal) in the aforesaid decoction. 



6. To take every morning the fume of lign-aloes, 

 rosemary and bays dried, which I use ; but once in a 

 week to add a little tobacco, without otherwise taking 

 it in a pipe. 



l These two paragraphs are inserted in Blackbourne's edition as part of 

 the paper; but they are not in the Baconiana, nor do I know where he got 

 them.
