Doctor Mirons Receipt against the Plague.

Take one handful of Wood-sorrel, half an ounce of Pom∣citron-seed bruised, half a quarter of an ounce of Harts-horn, and a few Marigold flowers, boyl all in three pints of Posset-drink a little while over a gentle fire, and then take them off the fire, and let them stand until they bee almost cold, then straine out the Posset-drink, and then let the Patient drink thereof bloud-warme half a pint in two or three hours, or oft∣ner if the Patient desire it; the Patient is not to eate or drink any thing else during this distemper, other than Water-grewel, without any bread, butter, or sugar in it; this by known ex∣perience hath recovered those which have been raving mad.
