Take a quart of _Clarret_ wine, one pound of _Currants_, and a handfull of young _Rosemary_ crops, and halfe an ounce of _Mace_, seeth these to a pint, and let the Patient drink thereof three spoonfulls at a time, morning and evening, and eat some of the _Currants_ also after. _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, or other parts of the body; you may dry them also in a dish, 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. _An approved Medicine for the Gout in the feet_.
