MAny that were so grievously vexed with a burning fever, that they could not sleep, and were in manner frantick, have taken five or six grains of Laudanum, with conserve of Succorie floures, and therewith were speedily delivered out of their extremities.
FIrst they were purged once or twice with Aromatico Leo∣nardo, then was the stomack comforted with some pecto∣rall Potion. That being done, there was Barly water made with Raisins, Liquorice, and cool hearbs, if you may have them. Then strein it clean, and put therein as much Oleum vitrioli as will make it tart, like a Pomegranate. Drink thereof when you are drie, for it comforts nature, asswageth heat and thirst won∣derfully, openeth all obstructions, and defendeth the bodie from putrified Fevers ••f they be grieved with the head-ach, you shall cause them to be let bloud under the tongue, cutting those veins over-thwart, and they shall presently be cured.
