A Julep to cool in Fevers.

NOthing doth more hinder the fermentation of sharp humors and their flying up to the head, than the use of dilute Oxymel, such as Hippocrates and the antients used. Make it thus,

Take two parts of Honey and twelve of Water; boil them very gently together, till you have scum∣med away all the Scum that will rise, and have cla∣rified it with Whites of Eggs. Then take it from the fire, and put to it one part of Vinegar, and let it run twice or thrice through an Hippocras bag. Drink three or four spoonfuls at a time of it, mor∣ning, evening, night, or when you will.
