The Colledg] Take of Indian Myrobalans, black Hellebore, Polypodium of the Oak, of each five drams: Epithimum, Stoechas, of each six drachms: Agrick, Lapis Lazuli often washed, Troches Alhandal, Sal. In∣di, of each half an ounce: Juyce of Maudlin made thick, Indian Spicknard, of each two drachms: Cloves one drachm: Species hiera picra Simplex Ga∣leni, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 drachms: with Syrup of the Juyce of Smallage, make it into a Mass according to art.

Culpeper] A. It wonderfully prevails against affli∣ctions coming of Melancholly, Cancers which are not ulcerated, Leprosie, Evils of the mind coming of melancholly, as sadness, fear, &c. quartan agues, jaundice, pains and infirmities of the spleen. I advise to take but half a drachm, or a scruple at a time, and take it often, for melancholly infirmities are not easi∣ly removed upon a sudden, take it in the morning and keep the house.
