Achariflon is an excellent Medicine for flopping of the 

 Lungs upon Cold, Ptifick, &c. 



Oak of Cappadocia, both much of a nature, but Oak 

 of Hierjifalem is ftronger in operation; excellent for Huf- 

 fing of the Lungs upon Colds, fhortnefs of Wind, and the 

 Ptifick; maladies that the Natives are often troubled with: 

 I helped feveral of the Indians with a Drink made of two 

 Gallons of Moloffes wort, (for in that part of the Country 

 where I abode, we made our Beer of Moloffes, Water, 

 Bran, chips of Saffafras Root, and a little Wormwood, 

 well boiled,) into which I put of Oak of Hiertifalem, Cat- 

 mint, Sowthiftle, of each one handful, of Emda Campana 

 Root one Ounce, Liquorice fcrap'd brufed and cut in 

 pieces, one Ounce, Saffafras Root cut into thin chips, one 

 Ounce, Anny-feed and fweet Fennel-feed, of each one 

 Spoonful bruifed; boil thefe in a clofe Pot, upon a foft 

 Fire to the confumption of one Gallon, then take it off, 

 and ftrein it gently; you may if you will [47] boil the 

 ftreined liquor with Sugar to a Syrup, then when it is 

 Cold, put it up into Glafs Bottles, and take thereof three 

 or four fpoonfuls at a time, letting it run down your throat 

 as leafurely as poflibly you can; do thus in the morning, 

 in the Afternoon, and at Night going to Bed.
