and so apply it to the place pained.


_To cake the Ague out of any place_.

Take _Vervine_ and _Black Hemlocke_, of each an handfull, boyle
them in a pint of fresh _Butter_ till they be soft, and begin to parch
againe, then straine the _Butter_ from the hearbs, and put it into a
gally pot, and two or three times annoynt the place grieved with
a spoonfull or two thereof, _probat_.


_For the Ague in Children, or Women with Child_.

Take _Venice Terpentine_, spread it on the rough side of a piece of
thin _Leather_, two fingers breadth, and strew thereon the powder of
_Frankincense_ finely beaten, and upon it some _Nutmeg_ grated, binde
this upon the wrists an hour before the fit comes, and renew it
still till the fit be gone.


_To strengthen the Back weak or diseased._

Take the pith of an Oxes back, wash it in Wine or Ale, and
beating it very small straine it through a course cloath, and make a
Caudle of it, with _Muskadine_ or strong _Ale_ boyling it therein a few
_Dates_ sliced, and the stones taken out, and drink it first and last as
warm as you can, walking well, but temperately after it. Toasted
dates often eaten are very good for the same.
