I am afraid twelve times the weight of the Simples is to much by half if not by three parts, Honest Mesue appoints only a sufficient quantity, and quotes it only as an Electuary, which he saith prevails against wind, sour belchings and in∣digestion, grosse humors and cold afflictions of the stomach and liver.
