Leaves as will lye on a Six- 
pence, or iefs according to 
the Age of the Party, in 
two Ounces of Horfe-tail, 
or Oak-bud-water, fwect- 
ned with Syrup of Quinces. 
Ufe it every Morning for 
the fpace of fifteen Days. 
But before you enter upon 
the Ufe of this, or any other 
Medicine, the Gut, if it fall 
into the Cod, muft be re- 
duc’d by aChirurgion, and 
a Trufs muft be worn to 
keep it up, and the Party 
muff avoid all violent Mo- 
tions, and lie as much as 
may be in Bed, or on a 
Couch. Falritius Hildanus 
fays, That fome have been 
cured of great Rupture? by 
lying in Bed, when they 
could be cured no other 
way. 
The Oyl of it, made in 
the following manner , is 
full as good for Wounds 
and Ulcers as that of 
St. John's-wort: Take one

HDOlltS Flower in Latin

many flender weak Stalks, 
trailing or leaning to the 
Ground, fet on every fide 
with fine jagged Leaves, 
deeply indented like thofe 
of Camomill, or rather 
thofe of May-weed : Up- 
on which Stalks grow 
final! Red Flowers, in 
fliape like the Field Crow- 
foot, with- a Blackilh 
Green Pointel in the mid-

Maturity, turns into a 
linall Green ifh Bunch of 
Seeds, in fliape like a lit- 
tle Bunch of Grapes; the % 
Root is fmall and fibrous. 
The Second differs not 
from the Precedent in a- 
ny one Point, but in the 
colour of the Flowers , 
which are of a perfed 
Yellow Colour. The Red 
Flower of Adonis grows 
wild in the Weft part of 
England among their Corn, 
as May- weed does in o-* 
thcr parts, and is likewife 
an Enemy to Corn as 
May-weed, that with the 
Yellow Flower is a Stran- 
ger in England. They
