Take Leaves of Scurvy-grass, Water-cresses, Brook-limes, of each three handfuls; being bruis'd, let the Juice be prest forth, and be kept in a Glass well stopt. The Dose is from an Ounce and a half, to three Ounces twice a day in a little draught of Beer, Wine, or distil'd Water.
Take Leaves of Scurvy-grass four handfuls, of Wood-sorrel two handfuls, being bruis'd, let the Juice be exprest, which being put in a Glass and well stopt, will soon become clear, for the Acidity of the Wood-sorrel precipitates the grosser parts of the Scurvy-grass: The same thing comes to pass if the Juice of Oranges be mixt with the Juice of Scurvy-grass. The Dose is two or three Ounces twice a day.
Takes Leaves of Scurvy-grass four handfuls, of Brook-limes and Garden-cresses of each two handfuls, long Pepper three Drams, Ras∣pings of Horse-raddish two Ounces; being all bruis'd together, let them be put in a Glaz'd Pot with two Pounds of Rhenish-wine, or of Sack, if it be thought better: The Orifice being well stopt, let them stand in a cold Cellar for two days, then express it strongly; the Dose is three Ounces twice a day, after a solid Medicine.
Take Leaves of Scurvy-grass three handfuls, of Brook-limes, Gar∣den-cress and Wood-sorrel, of each a handful, being bruis'd, pour to them Water of Snails and of Earth-worms, of each six Ounces, make a strong Expression, and keep it in a Glass well stopt. The Dose is two Ounces twice a day.
