_A Medicine for a Pleurisie, Stitch, or Winde,
offending in any part of the Body._
Gather the young shutes of _Oake_, after the fall of a _Wood_, and
picking out the tenderest and softest of them, especially those
which look redest, bind them up together in a wet paper, and
roste them in hot embers, as you doe a _Warden_, whereby they will
dry to powder, of which powder let the Patient take a spoonfull
in a little Posset _Ale_, or _Beer_, warmed, in the morning, fasting after
it two hours, or more, if he be able, doing the like about three
after noon, and two hours after supper, four or five dayes together,
which thus done in the beginning of the Disease, is by often
experiments found to cure such windy paines in the side, stomach,

in an Oven after the bread is drawn; you shall doe well to
gather enough of them in the Spring, and make good store of the
powder then, to keep for all the year following.

together, for three weeks or a moneth, whether you have the fit
or paine of the _Gout_, at that time or no, so you have had it at any
time before. This hath cured divers persons, that they have never
been troubled with it againe.
