Choice and experimented receipts in physick and chirurgery as also cordial and distilled waters and spirits, perfumes, and other curiosities
Digby, Kenelm, Sir, 1603-1665., Hartman, G. (George)
A Cordial to Rest, and for Surfeit.
TAke Diascordium one dram, Confection Al∣chermes one dram and half, Syrup of Clove∣gilly-flowers, a good spoonful. Mix these very well with about two ounces and half of Dragon-wa∣ter, or red Poppy-water, or in Carduus-water, as the Diseases require.
It is excellent to cause rest and sleep in a Fever, or when one is oppressed with pain; as also in a Surfeit, and an excellent Cordial.
I conceive you may increase the Dose a good deal to large bodies.
