great medicine against the falling sicknesse; for if we giue euerie day thereof, from two drachm•• to foure, with aqua mellis and Hyssopi, or with Oxymel, it is ex∣ceeding good against the falling sicknesse. Peonia hung about the necke of children cureth the falling-sicknesse; But that is found most true of the male Piony. The male Piony that is sweete, doth won∣derfully refresh and comfort the braine, and cureth the falling sicknesse. Fernelius.
Palma Christi, or Recinus: one drachme of the pouder of the seede being drunke with wine, cureth the falling sicknesse. The same thing doth the de∣coction of the root in wine long mixed, which must be giuen to drink as wel at dinner as at supper. Ma∣thiolus.
Passer, the Sparrow: the braine and flesh of sparrowes, according to Gerardus Cremonensis, is ve∣rie good against the falling sicknesse. Valescus. A••∣tuarius doth affirme that the braines of sparrowes of the fields, haue a great propertie against the falling-sicknes. Actuarius.
