Let the Patient smell to Spices that ar•• of a good scent and cooling; as Roses, Flowers of Violets, and Vineger.
Also wet a cloth in stilled water of Lambs-tongue, Roses, and Sorril, with a little wine-vineger, and put it upon the left breast.
But if the passion of the Heart be with∣out an Ague, then take Imperial water, (Aqua Coelestis) Cinnamon-water, Aqua Vitae or Brandy; drink of each of these apart in the morning fasting: or, distilled water of Ox-tongue, in which three oun∣ces of Cloves have been boiled, or six ounces of the water of Confilie, the Herb Balm, with two ounces of Sugar mixed therewith: or, the weight of a Crown of the Conserve of Diameschum.
