XV. Cerevisia Scorbutica, A Drink against the Scur∣vy.

Bate.] ℞ Sea Scurvy grass a little dryed lbj. Brook-lime, Water-cresses, A. M. iij. Red Sage, M, ij. Cloves ʒiij. Nut∣megs ʒvj. bruise them, and put them into a Bag for five Gallons of new Ale, with bits of old Iron ℥vj. in the bottom of it, which use as common Drink.

Salmon.] § 1. I understand not why the Scurvy-grass should be at all dryed; for being full of subtil and vola∣tile Particles, I am confident, that some of its choicest parts by that means must be dissi∣pated.

§ 2. I am also of Opinion, that the Juice of four or five choice Sevil Oranges ought to be put in, not only because of their acute Property, and that they are Specificks a∣gainst the Scurvy, but, be∣cause thereby the Fermenta∣tion, will the better and more compleatly be absol∣ved.

§ 3. You may either take it as common drink, or drink it at formal and set times, as a Pint in the Morning fast∣ing: A Pint an hour before Dinner: and a Pint last at Night going to Bed; Uni∣versals being used in the In∣tervals of taking it, as once a Week.
