 ( i ) Receipt for the Cure of a Mad Dog. 



Take the leaves of Rue, picked from the stalks and 

 pounded, six ounces Venice treacle, and the .... 

 of .... of each four ounces. Boil all these over a 

 slow fire in two quarts of old ale till one pint be consumed, 

 then put it in a bottle, close corked, and give of it nine 

 spoonfuls to a man or woman, warm, seven mornings fast- 

 ing, and six to a dog. This the author believes will not (by 

 God's blessing) fail if it be given nine days after the bite of 

 the dog. Apply some of the ingredients to the part bitten.

Two Drachms of Turlet's Mineral. 

 Two Drachms of Musk. 

 Two Drachms of Amber.
