 them all, being green and bruised, boil it, j 

 scum it, and strain it, add its weight of j 

 sugar to it that it may be made into a Syrup, { 

 according to art. 



Culpeper.] The Syrup is excellent for 

 all inward wounds and bruises, excoriations, 

 vomitings, spittings, or evacuation of blood, 

 it unites broken bones, helps ruptures, and 

 stops the menses : You cannot err in taking 

 of it.

College^] Take of Violet flowers fresh 

 and picked, a pound, clear water made 

 boiling hot, two pounds, shut them up close 

 together into a new glazed pot, a whole j 

 day, then press them hard out, and in two j 

 pounds of the liquor dissolve four pounds j 

 and three ounces of white sugar, take away \ 

 the scum, and so make it into a Syrup with- I 

 out boiling. Syrup of the juice of Violets, | 

 is made with its double weight of sugar, like>j 

 the former. 



Culpeper.] This Syrup cools and moistens,!* 

 and that very gently, it corrects the sharp- } 

 ness of choler, and gives ease in hot vices of 

 the breast, it quenches thirst in acute fevers, I 

 and resist the heat of the disease; it com- j 

 forts hot stomachs exceedingly, cools the \ 

 liver and heart, and resists putrefaction, j 

 pestilence, and poison.

the water of Violet flowers and sugar, like 

 Julep of Roses.

PURGING SYRUPS. 



SyPumts de CicJiorio cum Rhubarbaro. 

 Or Syrup of Succory with Rhubarb. 



College.] Take of whole Barley, the 

 roots of Smallage, Fennel, and Sparagus, 

 of each two ounces, Succory, Dandelyon, 

 Endive, smooth Sow-thistles, of each two 

 handfuls, Lettuce, Liverwort, Fumitory, 

 tops of Hops, of each one handful, Maiden- 

 hair, white and black, Cetrachs, Liquorice, 

 winter Cherries, Dodder, of each six drains, 

 to boil these take sixteen pounds of spring 

 water, strain the liquor, and boil in it six 

 pounds of white sugar, adding towards the 

 end six ounces of Rhubarb, six drams of 

 Spikenard, bound up in a thin slack rag 

 the which crush often in boiling, and so 

 make it into a Syrup according to art. 



Culpeper.] It cleanses the body of venem- 

 ous humours, as boils, carbuncles, and the 

 like ; it prevails against pestilential fevers, 

 it strengthens the heart and nutritive virtue, 

 purges by stool and urine, it makes a man 

 nave a good stomach to his meat, and pro- 

 vokes sleep. But by my author's leave, 

 I never accounted purges to be proper 

 physic in pestilential fevers ; this I believe, 

 the Syrup cleanses the liver well, and is 

 exceeding good for such as are troubled 

 with hypocondriac melancholy. The strong 

 may take two ounces at a time, the weak, 

 one, or you may mix an ounce of it with 

 the Decoction of Senna.
