may turne which way a man would haveit, with drinking of one dram weight of thofecreepers 
or infects which be called fea-lice ; and yet fome take for the fame Caftoreum in honnied wine, 
| adding theretoa little Pepper, and drinke this compofition in the broth of Frogsboiled in oyle

of falc Cackerels heads burnt and reduced into a liniment with honey, difcufle andrefolve the 
Squinancie cleane,like as the broth of Frogs boiled in vinegre; and the faid broth is fingular al- 
fo forthe inflammation of the tonfils. The Creififhes of the river dried andbeaten to pouder, .

{hort winded, there is nota medicine again fo good to helpe that difficultie of breath,as to drink 
whiles they be fafting, Caftoreum, with alittle quantitie of Ammoniack in honied vinegre. The, 
fame potion takea likewife with honied vinegre hot,allaieth the convulfion of the ftomack pre- 
ceeding from exceffive yexing or hicquets. /tem,it is faid, That Frogs boiled in fome broth be- 
tweene two platters after the mannet of filhes,are good fora cough: Andbeing hangedby the » 1 
heels, after chat their falivation and humiditie is dropped from them into a pan or platter under- 
neath, they areto be rid of their garbage, and when the fame is flung away,they ought tobe kept 
and preferved for the purpofe atorefaid. Thereisa little Frog thar ufeth toclimbe trees,& from 
thence crieth and croaketh : if aman {pit into the mouth of one of them, and then let her goe 
again. itis thought he fhall be delivercd by that means from thecough. To conclude,many give 
countell for the cough that bringeth up bloud withall,: to drinke in hore water the fleth of araw 
perwinckle well punned. ;
