s full of milk, which runs out. In this milk they put a lump of Salt,
and let it lye a whole night. The next day they take the Salt out,
which is not dissolved, and wash it clean: then boyl a little Rice
and Water together. After tis taken off the fire, they put this salt
into it, and drink it.

There is a strong Purge they make with a berry called Jawpolls, which
is a little long greenish berry. Of it self it is rank Poyson. They
boyl it with Goraca, and Pepper in water, and drink a little of
the water.

[To heal Sores.] For drawing and healing of Sores, they have a leaf
called Mockina-cola; it is a very like our Tunhoof or Ground-ivy,
only it is a brighter green; it runs along upon the ground and spreads
it self as Tunhoof doth. They only take the leaf and clap it upon
the sore.

[To heal an Impostume.] For an Impostume in the Throat, we take
the rind of the Tree Amaranga and bruise it and rub it with green
Turmeric, and wrap it up in a Plantane leaf, and bury it in hot ashes,
and there let it lye an hour or two till the fire hath well qualified

[For a hurt in the Eye.] For a sore or hurt in the eye, they take
Oulcande-cole, Goderacole, two herbs, the juyce of each, and womans

great pain, the Chingulays advised me to use this means, assuring me
how successful it was wont to be; but I was loath to tamper with so
tender a place; and thanks be to God, after some days the Thorn fell
out of it self.

[To cure the Itch.] It is a speedy Cure of the Itch, to take
Coudouro giddi, a fruit of a Tree in form somewhat like a Mussel but
bigger. This fruit they cut in slices and fry it in Coker-nut oyl. And
with this oyl they anoint the body.

[The Caudle for Lying in women.] The ordinary Caudle for Women in
Child-bed, is Goraca boyled in water with Pepper and Ginger. Women in
that condition use nothing else. This [Goraca.] Goraca is a fruit round
like an Apple marked with divers creases along the sides of it. Being
ripe it is within and without red like blood, but sower, they use this
fruit as we do Lemons and Oranges. The core is sweet a
