To make pilles against poyson, of a meruailous vertue, as hath been proued.

¶ Take Imperatrice, Bistorta, Turmentilla, Valeriana, Dit∣tamo, Bianco, Carlina, Gentiana, Aristologia rotunda, Agarico, Electo, Salgem, of each a like quantity, beate them in fine pow∣der, then take the iuyce of Garlike, and of Onions, as much as will make it into a paste. Also put into the iuyce one dram of Saffron, then let the sayd paste be mixt dry in the shadow, and then beate it into powder againe, and mixe it with the foresayd iuyce in good force, and kéepe it in a vessell of lead vntill thou hast neede, and when thou wilt vse it, take thereof 4. drammes, and make thereof pilles with Siropo aceteso, in good forme, the which thou shalt giue vnto him that is poysoned, and in short time thou shalt see miracles of this medicine: for all the afore∣said simple is in maner alone sufficient to deliuer one that were poisoned: but béeing mixed together, it worketh greater effect, these pilles are of as good experiment against poison as may be.
