CHAP. XXXIIII. A Secret of one Simple that helpeth in manner all Fevers.

THere are an infinite of medicines that dissolve the Fever, but above all other this seemeth to me of great authority, because it helpeth it with such ease, that it is to be wondered at. With this remedie through the Divine goodness, I have cured a great number, and the Secret is this. You shall gather in the Mo∣neth of August a certain hearb, which the Italians do call Oreula, which you shall drie and make into powder, of the which you shall give the sick as much as will lie upon a sixpence, with wa∣ter or wine, and give it warm in the morning, and fast there∣on three or four houres, and thus doing, the Patient shall be helped with great ease, and in short time: for this is a great secret which may be used in all times and in every occasion, and alwaies it worketh an operation in one manner.
