THE Lady Rouse, being with Child, was mi∣serably
troubled with the Mother, and Faint∣ings,
and extreme Pain in the Head: First, she
had a Fume of Horse hoofs burnt, which restored
her as soon as it was drawn into her Nostrils. Then
she had a Suppository put up, framed of Honey,
and Pul. Sanctus, which gave two stools, and
brought away much Wind. She had a Fume of
Odorificks below, and smelt to stinking things.
Her Neck was anointed with Oil of Spike, after
with Vnguent. Martiatum. She having the year
before been troubled with Tortura Oris, and now
much fearing it, in a morning fasting she took the
quantity of a Nutmeg of the following Electuary:
℞ Species Dianthos. Conserve of Borage, each ℥i.
