¶An other syrop for the cough and apostemacion in the breste and harte / whiche weakeneth and cau∣seth to caste oute.
TAke Violettes a handfull / sixe leaues of Hartes tounge / put them in a clene cloth and in a pot / to thys putte a quarte and an halfe of water / seth it vntill the thyrde parte be sodden awaye: then presse it through a cloth into a clene pot / put thereto foure vnces and an halfe of suger / steare it well vnti••l the finger is all molten. Of thys mayest thou drinke when thou wilt.
If the cough commeth of heat / then is the throte sore / and very dry / and the patient is very costyf. The cold ayer doth hym good / when he goeth in it: for he thynketh that his harte is refreshed and quickened. Thissame ou∣ght to be let blood in the Epatica or liuer vayne.
But if it is not conueniente to let the same bloode / then marke whether hys cough be caused by a hote humor / and to what parte it floweth / and on that parte shall ye set boxes / for that is good.
