nd mix it with the Milk of an Hearb called
_Spurge_, make thereof a past, and fill the hole of the Tooth therewith,
and leave it there, changing it every two houres, and the
Tooth will fall out.
_To take away the cause of the paine in the Teeth._
Wash the mouth two or three times together in the morning
every moneth, with _White-wine_ wherein the root of _Spurge_ hath
been sodden, and you shall never have paine in your Teeth.
_For A Consumption._
Take Ash-keyes so soon as they look wither'd, set them into
an Oven, the bread being drawne, in a pewter, or rather an earthen
dish, and being so dryed pull off the out side, and reserving the
inner part, or the seed, or keyes, beat them to fine powder, and
either mix it with good English honey, and so eat of it, first and
last, morning and evening, a pretty deale of it at once, upon the
point of a knife, or else drink of the powder in some posset Ale, or
thin broth. Mares milk, or Asses milk, which is best, being drunk
warm morning and evening, is the most soveraigne Medicine
for it.
_An excellent Medicine for the Cough of the Lungs._
Take _Fennell_ and _Angelica_ of each one handfull, the leaves in
Summer, roots in Winter, sliced figgs twelve, but if the body be
bound, twenty at least, green Licorice if you can, two or three
good sticks scraped and sliced, Anniseed cleaved and bruised, two
good spoonfulls, two or three Parsley roots scraped, and the pith
taken out, and twenty leaves of Foale-foot, boyle all these in
three pints of _Hysop_ water, to a pint and halfe, then straine it out
into a glasse, putting to it as much white _Sugar_-candy as will make
it sweet, drink hereof, being warmed, five spoonfulls at a time,
first in the morning, and last in the evening, taking heed that you
eat nor drink any thing two howres before nor after.

_The use of Oyle of Violets._
Oyle of _Violets, Cammomile, Lillies, Elder flowers, Cowslips, Rue,
Wormwood_, and _Mint_, are made after the same sort; Oyle of
_Violets_, if it be rubbed about the Tempels of the head, doth remove
the extream heat, asswageth the head Ache, provoketh sleep, and
moistneth the braine; it is good against melancholly, dullnesse,
and heavinesse of the spirits, and against swellings, and soares
