Of the difficulty which Children have to make water.

IF the Disease proceed from sharpness of the Urine, the Nurse must use such a way of dyet as is proper for the tempering and cooling of the blood; she must be purged, & let blood, u∣sing afterwards cooling & refrigerating broths. If it proceed from any gross humor ingende∣red in the bladder, the Nurse must abstain from all meats that do breed gross humors, as milky meats, Pease and Beans, and such like.

If the child be troubled with gravel, which may be perceived by the whiteness and raw∣ness of the Urine, with a gravelly setling at the bottom, and the continual pain in making wa∣ter: if the Child be any thing bigg, let a potion be given him of an ounce and half of sweet Al∣monds, an ounce of Pellitory water, and two drams of the juice of Limons; use as much of this at a time as is convenient. Or take of this powder, of the blood of a Hare six ounces, of the root of Saxifrage one ounce, burn them in an earthen •ot, & if the Infant suck give him a scruple of this powder in a little milk.
