ripe, but a little (harp and foure. The fweeter and 
riper they are, die more Laxative •, nor do they 
agree with cold, phlegmatic, lax Stomachs, but 
with the warm and bilious. Preferv’d with Sugar, 
they are very grateful to the Stomach, and to fe- 
verifh, Tick People; but the rough and acid are 
mod fo. Preferved Damafcenes, if eaten fparingly, 
cool, moiften, and open the Body, abate Heat and 
Third in Fevers. A Gargle of Plum-tree Leaves, 
boil’d in Wine, is good for the Tonfils, Jaws, and 
Uvula \ boil’d in Milk they are good for the Thrufli

the Stone. All thefe Fruits, however grateful they 
are to hot, bilious Stomachs, or to feverifh and 
hot People, yet they are by no Means fuited to the 
cold, aged, phlegmatic, weak, and pall’d Sto- 
machs, except eaten very fparingly and warm’d 
either with a Glafs of drong Wine, or a Dram of 
Rum or Brandy.
