Chap. 21. Signs of of a cold and moist Brain.

THe Brain afflicted with cold and moist distem∣pers, moves a man to an inexpugnable desire of sleep, and when he is awake, his Brain is so mud∣dy, and his Sences so dull, that he can do nothing that will get him honor here, nor make him famous another day, the excrements that flow from his Brain are abun∣dance, he seldom goes without a snotty Nose, his Head is full, though not of Wit, and heavy, and is most afflicted in cold and moist weather.

Culpeper.

Such people are very subject to Lethargies, Coma, Carus, and other Diseases of the Head that proceed of coldness and moisture.

For Cure, Juniper Berries are excellent to eat ten or twelve of them every morning fasting; as also Bettony, Chamomel, Peony Roots and Seeds, Calaminth, Fen∣nel, sweet Marjoram, Penyroyal, Mother of Time &c.
