There are often perillous Coughs through Rhume that falls down out of the head upon the lights, and into the brest, which is very ill to get out. It is good to purge the head with Cochia Pills, and to drink sometimes a draught of Barly Water in the morning, and eat something after it. Then take this Potion, Take Syrrup of Endive, Honey of Roses, and Sirrup of Steches, of each half an ounce, Water of Succory and Endive of each one ounce and half, tem∣pered together.
This Powder is approved to stay the Rhume; Take Spica of the Indies one quarter of an ounce, Cinnamon one quarter of an ounce, of the Scull of a man that dyed through violence, three quarters of an ounce: take every time it cometh, one dram after meat in Wine or any decoction.
Physicians do commend Barly Water mixt with Julip of Violets.
