READY DOCTOR.
For Running of the Reins.
EITHER drink the Juice of Batchelor's Buttons, 1 Gill per day : otherwise, the boiled substance of Wild Mint, in like form, for 12 Days.
Probatum est.
N.B. In case you should not know what Batchelors. Buttons are, here follows their Description. They are in no ways nice, for they grow almost everywhere, and very commonly on the sides of Highways, or Roads, below Hedges, are very plenty in lee ground : their colour is all a Pale-green, except the Seeds, or Buttons, which are Brounith Black: the Button is hard, and about the largeness of Winchester Pease.
For a Rupture.
HENRIARIC/E Juice, holden to the asslisted place by a Cloath of Linen below, and Woolen above, is very good ; and in a few days, an alteration will. be seen : Still keep the Cloath wet with this Juice, and you may depend on a Cure in less than 21 Days. Otherwise, make Pottage of Bean Meal, and Wine of any kind, and so apply it by way of Poultice to the Cods; but first wash them well with Afs Milk, or the boiled Juice of Blue Blawarts: this will answer a Belly Rupture also.
Probatum est.
