ordinarie Veale broth, as itis commonly given, is counted one of the remedies for thefekind of

drinke Affes milke for this purpofe, it will be the berter,if honey be put therero.Furthermore,the

fo the firft ordure of the Affe fole,which we tearmed Poleain the former chapter, Thecruds or

the patient did fhere bloud upon the ftoole. The athesalfo of Horfedung, and the pouder of 
Horfe teeth is faid to be fingular :yea,and Calves milke fodden and fo drunke.But ifthe flux doe 
prove to be a dyfenterie,Phyficians give advifeto put thereto alittle hony : if gripes come thick, 
they prefcribe the afhes of Harts horne,or Buls gall tempered with Cumin feed: and the fle(hie 
fubftance of -a Gourd,to be laid in manner of acataplafime to the navill. The tender cheefecurd 
of Cowes milke clyfterized, is paffing good both for the Romacke flux, and alfo forthe bloudie 
flix.In like fort the butter made of Cowes milke,taken to the quantitie of foure hemins with two 
ounces of right Terpentine,either in the decoction of Mallowes or oile of Rofes. Thefuct of a 
Calfe,or beaits tallow, is likewife an ordinarie remedie in thefe cafes. Butdiverfe there bee who 
feeth the marrow forth as well of the one asthe other,with meale,wax,and alittle vile, yetfo, as — 
the broth be clear,that itmay be fupped off. Their marrow alfo is ufually incorporat in the paile 
whereof bread is made, andfo taken with grearfuccefle. Goats milkefodden uouil the haliebee

thinke it good withall to makea liniment of Goats bloud,incorporat with Barley meale. and ro- 
fia and therewith to annoint the bellie. And they alfo advifetheir patients for any violent flux of 
the beilie whatfoever,to applie thereto foft cheefe: but if the flux bee fromthe ftomacke, or dy- 
fentericall,they prefcribe old cheefe to be grated and given to the patient in wine, with this pro- 
portion that in threecyaths of wine there be athizd part of cheefe. Goats bloud boiled with this 
miarrow,is fingular good for the dyfenterie or bloudie flix. The liver of afemale Goat rofted, is a 
foveraign iedicine for the fluxions of the fomack,but it were better if che male Goats liver were 
taken in drinke after it had been fodden in fome greene and auftere wine,or with oile of Myrtles 
rédiiced into acataplafme,and fo laid to the navill. Some feeth the fame in water from fix fextats

ben baked onthe hearth under the embers.But above all they hold,that the fuet taken from the 
kidneies of a fhee Goat,and fo drunk alone by itfelfe,is a fingular remedie for thefe infirmities : 
but they enjoine the patient prefently thereupon to drinkea little cold water. Yet there be others 
who ordaine the fame {uet to bee boiled in water with fried Barley groats, Cumin, Dill, and Vi-
