Chap. 15. Of Loosing of the Tongue, and of the Frog.

WHen the Tongue is tyed, they cannot freely suck. This must be done by skilful Artists; or use this Liniment. Take clarified Honey, and boyl it up gently till it may be powdered. Then take yolks of hard Eggs dryed in a glass in an Oven, till they may be powdered, a dram, Frankincense and Mastich, each a scruple; burnt Allum fix grains, with Honey of Roses make a Lini∣ment.

The Frog is when the veins under the tongue, are filled with bad blood; and if flegm sweat out, and stick in the passages, there is a tumor like Mushrooms which causeth stammering. It is cu∣red thus: Take Cuttle-bone, Sal-gem, Pepper, each a dram; burnt Spunge three drams, make a Powder, or with Honey a Liniment: rub under the tongue.

Lay under the chin a Plaister of Goose-dung and Honey boyled in Wine, till the Wine be consu∣med.
