Chap. 11. Of Smallage of Laughter, or the Sardonick Herb.
THese being taken, because they hurt the nerves, they make the mouth awry, for the muscles that move the lips, are contracted, so that they seem to laugh. There is a heat in the guts, and stomach, and throat, and the whole body; they are mad, and some laugh constant∣ly.
After Vomiting and Purging, give Hydromel, Milk, Butter, and fat broaths plentifully. Emul∣sions of sweet Almonds, the great cold Seeds, Poppy seeds, with Barley and Lettice water, and Plantane water. The Antidote is juyce of Balm, with Vinegar, Bole and Whey. Anoint the neck with Oyl of Co∣stus, Castor, Foxes, St. Iohns-wort, Aragon Oynt∣ment, &c. Some make them drunk, that they may sleep it out.
