A Certaine melancholie man, was much grieued in his milt, heart, and head: but he was thus cured. First he was twice purged, with ℈ j. of Panchimagogon, and one ℈ of the extract of Sena, mixed with sirupe or Roses, and two or three drops of oile of vitrioll. That done, he tooke a quart of posset Ale, made of white wine and Burnet, and dranke thereof, morning, noone, and night, a good draught, with halfe a spoonfull of Aqua Balsami Fiorauan. Also now and then, he tooke morning and euening, a toste of white bread, stieped in Aquam Preseruans, and within ten daies after, he purged againe, and so remained in good health.
