Infusions.

The Apozems even now prescrib'd, will become more excellent, against the Scurvy, if being prepar'd without Licorice, they are strain'd into a Flaggon, into which are put Leaves of Brook-limes, and of Water-cresses or Cuckow-flowers, of each a handful, then make a warm and close Infusion for six hours; the Liquour being strain'd again, let it be kept in stopt Vessels. The Dose is six Ounces twice or thrice a day. Also let Whey, with the Roots of Dandelion, and the Leaves of Fumitory boil'd in it, be strain'd into a Vessel, wherein are Leaves of Brook-limes, and of small Celandine, of each a handful, make an Infusion, &c.

Chalibeat Infusions are wont to be frequently in use, viz. the Salt, Magristery, or Extract of Steel, are infus'd in some Decoction, or distil'd Water: Moreover as natural Spaw-waters, so also Ar∣tificial ones of our preparation of Steel dissolv'd in Fountain-water, and impregnated with the Infusion of Antiscorbuticks, are drank with great benefit.
