   For DRUNKENNESS.

PULAGII, et Matilis Cum Papilaris, a Handful of each, boiled altogether in a Pint of Water : Take a Glass full or two of this before Drinking. Or, as much of Wormwood, used in fame form, will hinder one from being too Drunk. And, if the Patient has drunk too much, let him drink about a Mutchkin or English Pint of said Juice, it will instantly cause him throw up, and he will soon be whole : otherwise, to make use of a good quantity of Butter, or fat meat before drinking, preserves one wonderfully.
