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 Hierufalem is ftronger in operation j excellent for fluf- 
fing of the Lungs upon Colds, fhortnefs of Wind, and the 
Ptilick; 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 Hierufalem, Cat- 
mint, Sowthiftle, of each one handful, of Enula Camp ana 
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 
flreined 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 poffibly you can; do thus in the morning, 
in the Afternoon, and at Night going to Bed.
