Men of greatefl: Note among them. This^ 

 he told me, I was to eat a little of every 

 Morning, to the quantity of a Walnut it 

 was thick as remce Treacle, and full of fmall 

 Seeds. 1 ufed to breakfaft on it for ftveral 

 Days together, taking the faid quantity at a 

 time ; it always made me fleepy, but 1 found 

 my felf well, and in very good temper of Bo- 

 dy after it. The Seeds were about the big- 

 nefs of Mullard, and, according to the De-

 which they call Caskafs^ B. vid. Fig. and this 

 Cullender into the Mouth of the Pot, C. that 

 fo all the Steam which arifes from the Meat 

 may be imbibed by the Cuskfoo^ which caufes 

 it to fwell, and make it fit to be eaten : When 

 itis enough, for they love every thing tho-
