XII. The liquid Juice. Ir is Antifcorbutick, re- 
fills the Infe&ion of the Plague ; and being taken 
inwardly to four or fix ounces, two hours before 
the coming of the Fit of an Ague, whether Quoti- 
dian, Tertian, or Quartan, it commonly cures it at 
three or four Dofes ^ belides which it cures an ex- 
quifito Pleurifie, more expecially if a little Salt of 
Blood ( whether of Man or Beaft ) is added to it, 
and this I have had experience of in my own Per- 
fon, apd fince that have cured feveral others by the 
fame Medicament. It provokes the Terms in Wo- 
men, opens the Urinary palfages, and gives eafe in 
the Strangury to a Miracle. 
XIII. The Effcnce. It has all the Virtues of the 
former, belides which it facilitates the Birth, and 
brings away the Child, whether dead or alive, as al- 
fo the After-birch : It caufies a free Breathing, is 
good againft Colds, Coughs, Althma’s, and other 
Obftrucf ons of the Lungs, as alfo Stitches in the 
Side. Dole four ounces, Morning and Evening. 
XIV. The Syrup. Made of the Juice of Double- 
flowred Camomil, faith Bauhinus , but of our Com- 
mon Garden Camomil, lay Lena and Label, with 
the Flowers alfo, and a little White Wine, being 
taken three or four lpoonfuls at a time, is a reme- 
dy againlt the Jaundice and Droplie, as alfo the evil 
difpolition of the Spleen. 
XV. The Infufion. If it is made in White Port 
Wine, it provokes Urine, opens ObftruUions of the 
Urinary Parts, expels Sand, Gravel, and Tartar, and 
helps a ft inking Breath. It has the Virtues of the 
Juice and Elfence, but not altogether fo power- 
ful. 
XVI. The Decotfion. If made in Wine, or part 
Wine part Water, and taken inwardly, it has the 
Virtues of the Juice and Eflence, but very much 
weaker, yet it prevails powerfully againft the Cho- 
lick : P arkinfon fays, it takes away all Pains and 
Stitches in the Sides. Tired Limbs being bathed 
therewith, it takes away their Wearinels, and eafes 
Pains to what part of the Body foever it is applied. 
It comforts the Nerves that are over-ftrained, mol- 
lifies Tumors, and difculfes thofe which are not 
very hard $ and moderately comforts thofe parts 
which have need of warmth, or are chill’d by any 
Cold Paralytick Humor. 
XVII. The Louder. Made of the dried Herb, but 
chiefly of the Flowers, being given from half a 
dram, to one dram, it helps the Griping of the Guts, 
Wind, and Pain of the Stomach. 
XVIII. The Oil by Infufion of the Flowers in Oil 
Olive. If the Perfon troubled with an Ague, be 
anointed with this Oil, before a good fire, from the 
Crown of the Head to the Soles of the Feet, and 
after that, be laid to Sweat in a Bed, being fo warm 
covered that they may Sweat well, it cures ir, let 
the Ague be what it will. This is an JEgyptian 
Medicine, and Galen feems to confirm it : For he 
faith, that the Sophi of JEgypt , Confecrated this 
Herb to the Sun, for its Virtue in curing all forts of 
■Agues. But therein, fays Galen , they were decei- 
ved, for it cures only thofe where the Humors are 
already digefted ^ but it is very profitable ( fays he) 
lor all other, forts of Agues, which come either 
from Flegm or Melancholly, or from an Inflamma- 
tion of the Bowels ^ for thefe ( fays he ) Camomil 
is a Sovereign Remedy to be applied, the Humors 
being firft Concocted. It is good againlt cold Gouts 
coldnefs of the Limbs, and Pains and Aches proceed- 
ing from Cold and Moifture. 
XIX. The Ointment. It heals Wounds in a Cold, 
Scorbutick habit of Body, gives eafe. in the Gout,' 
and mollifies Tumors proceeding from an afflux of 
Humors. 
XX. The Balftim. It is more excellent for heal- 
ing Wounds than the Ointment, and being mixed 
with other proper things, it brings Apoltems and 
Tumors to fuppuration, and prevails fingularly a - 
gainft the Gout, whether it proceeds from a' hot 
or a cold Caufe, and it will be fo much the more 
effectual, if Camphir be added to it, which contains 
in it a fubtil Fire, which draws forth the Eflence 
of the Gout through the Pores of the Skin. 
XXI. The Cataplafm. Being applied, it is ufeful 
to difcufs, or diffolve Tumors, and Wind, in any 
part of the Body, and to eafe Pains and Aches in 
the Joints. Being applied to the Ribs, and Hypo- 
chonders, as hot as it can be endured, it eafes the 
Spleen, expels Wind, and gives immediate relief in 
the pains of the molt exquifite Pleurifie : It alfo 
takes away Pains and Stitches in the Sides, removes 
fhortnefs of Breath, and caufes prefently an eufinefs 
of breathing. 
XXII. The Di ft i lied Water. It is good againft 
fainting of the Heart and Spirits, is good againft 
Vapors and Fits of the Mother, as alfo Pains and 
Diftempers of the Spleen ^ but it is chiefly ufed as 
a Vehicle to convey the other Preparations of this 
Plant into the Body : fix ounces of it being drank with 
a fcruple or half a dram of Salt of Camomil dilfol- 
ved in it, prevails wonderfully againft ftoppage of 
Urine, and fo is helpful againft the Strangury. 
XXIII. The Spirituous Tintfure. Made from the 
Flowers, or the Herb and Flowers together, it pre- 
vails againft Fainting and Swooning Fits, coldnefs 
of the Stomach, and ficknefs at Heart. It comforts 
all parts which have need of warmth ; it digefts 
crude Humors, difculfes Wind in the Stomach and 
Bowels, alleviates the Pains and Torments of the 
Belly, and provokes Urine gently : It induces Sweat, 
and expells cold Aches and Pains in what part of 
the Body foever. 
XXIV. The Acid Tintfure. It digefts, loofons, 
eafes Pain, is highly Antifebritick, Anticolick, and 
ftrongly Diuretick. It powerfully opens ObftruUi- 
ons of the Lungs, and helps fuch as have a fhortnefs 
of Breath, difficulty of Breathing, are Hoarfe, and 
Wheeze much, fo as in a manner they have loft 
their Voice. It Attenuates, Cleanfes, Purges, Opens, 
ExpeUorates tough Flegm, and is profitable for all 
Difeafes of the Breft, caufed by the Afflux of moift 
and fiegmatick Humors, whether Thin or Thick, 
Tough, Rotten, or Corrupted, caufing the fame to 
be fpit forth. You may make it pleafant and grate- 
ful with Syrup of Violets, or Clovegillifipwers, or 
a pure Tinflure of Spanifh Juice of Liquorice,, and 
fo to be taken often in the Day, and that for many 
Days together. 
XXV. The Oily Tintfure. This being rubbed in 
daily, Morning and Night, before a good Fire, all 
along the Back-bone, from the Head to the Anus, 
and alfo over all the affected Limbs, it cures a Pal- 
fie above moft other things in the World. It alfo 
cures Rheumatick Pains, being well anointed upon 
the parts affefted twice a Day, and continued for 
fome time. It expels Cold, eafes Pains, difculfes cold 
and windy Tumors, eafes the Pains of the Fleur a, 
and After-pains of Women in Child-bed, being a-
