The hurtfull quality.

Milke is hurtfull for those that are troubled with the Head-ach, or Feavers, or Hypochondriacke winde, or thirst, or that avoid cho∣lericke excr••ments downewards, or have had some plenti••ull evacu∣ation of blood, as Hippocrates witnesseth. It is also bad for cold windy and weake stomachs. Gouty persons, such as have the Stone and Livers stopt, as also for the Palsie and Cramps, for sore eyes and distillations of rheume; hurteth the teeth and Gums, and is unpro∣fitable for old persons, and such as have the Chollick. Some boyle it and put thereto Salt, Sugar or Hony, others put in Mints. In fluxes of the Belly let it be boyled, or peeces of Steele, quenched therein before it be taken, and you may put some Cinamon therein, or Sugar rosat.
