The Colledg] Take of the Juyce of sweet smelling Apples two pound, the juyce of Borrage and Bugloss of each one pound and an half, Senna two ounces, Annis seeds half an ounce, Saffron one drachm; let
the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 be sleeped in the Juyce's twenty four hours, and after a walm or two strain it, and with two pound of white sugar boyl it to a syrup according to art, the Saffron being tyed up in a rag, and often cru∣shed in the boyling.
Culpeper] A. Mesue appoints Senna Cods, and so do the Augustan Physitians, viz. the husk that holds the seeds; and the Colledg altered that, and added the Annis seeds, I suppose to correct the Sen∣na, and in so doing they did well.
A. The syrup is a pretty cooling purge, and tends to rectifie the distempers of the blood, it purgeth choller and melancholly, and therefore must needs be effectual both in yellow and black Jaundice, madness, scurf, Leprosie, and scabs; It is very gentle, and for that I commend both the Receipt, and Mesue the Au∣thor of it. The dose is from one ounce to three, ac∣cording as the body is in age and strength. An ounce of it in the morning is excellent for such children as break out in scabs.
