Remedies out of Apollodorus.

Take of wilde Cummin two ounces and a half, the bloud of a Sea Tortoise four drams, the rennet of a Fawn or Hare three drams, the bloud of a Kid four drams; make them up with the best Wine, and reserve it to your use: The dose is the quantity of an Olive, in a draught of the best and purest Wine. Another: Take of the seeds of Trifolium Bituminosum, of round Astrologe, the seeds of wilde Rew, the seeds of Ervum dryed in the Sun, of each alike six drams; work them with Wine and make Trochisces thereof, every one of them weighing four drams: The dose is one Tro∣chisce.
