Dr. Hulfe'* Receipts, 8cc. 8 y 



Barrel of pretty good Beer; and when it is ready, 

 drink it for ordinary Beer. Take the green Rind of 

 young Eider, a good handful, boil it in a Gallon of 

 White- Wine to the half; drink a good Draught of 

 it cold in the Morning, and warm at Night, as an 

 approved Medicine m a Dropfy, Dr. Page. I have 

 known this do extraordinary well, as it is fet down 

 by Dr. Sydenham, Nempe M. iij cor this interior is fam- 

 buci^ &c. Sydenham, p. 263. This following Drink 

 was ufed by an eminent Phyfician. Take A flics of 

 Broome one heaped Quart, of the Vine which bears 

 white Grapes, &c. Bean Stalks and Sheik, each one 

 Pint t Put to them 12 Pints of White- Wine, and let 

 them ftand clofe covered at a gentle Heat for 8 or 

 10 Hours y after that let the Wine run twice or 

 thrice thro' a Gelly Bag, and put into the Wine 

 Nutmeg and Cinnamon, of each half an Ounce 3 20 

 ]3ay-berries3 of Cummin-feed, Anis-feeds, and Fen- 

 nel-feeds, each one Ounce : Thefe are to be pow- 

 dered, and tied in Bags, and hung in the Wine y 

 keep it clofe covqr'd. Thofe that are poor, and dre 

 not able to afcend to Wine, may ufe Water, (or good 

 Beers) fuch as Ttunbridge, &c, are belt. This is ex- 

 ceeding good, after general Purgings, in all Sort of 

 Dropfies. I have known (fays the Author) divers 

 recovered out of defperate Tympanies hereby : They 

 mult drink every Morning half a Pint hereof > fo 

 about f a- Clock in the Aiternoon, for 20 Days to- 

 gether. They may take it with Sugar, or with Sy- 

 rups that are proper. This is good againft Sand or 

 Gravel in the Kidnies, if you mix with every half 

 Pint 2 Spoonfuls of the Syrup of Althcea. If you 

 cannot get the Afhes of a Vine that bears white 

 Grape>, or the x^fhes of Bean-Stalks and Shells, I 

 doubt not but the Increafe of Broome-Alhes will d<b 



as well. Some affirm, that the Afhes taken them- 



felves in Subltance will do better than the Infufion. 

 Sir Francis Prujean ufed to give them as follows.
