Fa••ae, Beanes: of the burnt stalkes of beanes, there is made Alixiuium, or lye,* 1.1 either with white wine or Rhenish wine, the vse whereof is against the dropsie, and there is giuen inward the quantity of three ounces for a time. Ioannes Hu••rinus.
Ferrum, Iron:* 1.2 The water of yron is giuen for the dropsie, especially if there be hardnes of the liuer and spleene, or daylie obstructions or when the dropsie followeth the laundise, and it must bee
prepared after this manner: extinguish yron in wa∣ter, so long as it shall leaue behinde it a certaine taste of the yron and a sharpnes thereof; as for example, take common water twelue pints, then quench yron glowing hotte in it, and let it be quenched so long till there remaine but foure pints of this water, mix with wine or other fit water to drinke. Alexander Petronius.
Filix, Ferne, the decoction of the roote, or the iuice thereof is an excellent remedie against the dropsie.* 1.3 Iulius Caesar Arantius. But beware of the vse thereof in women, because as Dioscorides witnes∣seth it induceth bariennesse and sterilitie.
