_An approved Conserve for a Cough or Consumption of the Lungs._

Take a pound of Elecampane Roots, draw out the pith, and boil them in
two waters till they be soft, when it is cold put to it the like
quantity of the pap of roasted Pippins, and three times their weight of
brown sugar-candy beaten to powder, stamp these in a Mortar to a
Conserve, whereof take every morning fasting as much as a Walnut for a
week or fortnight together, and afterwards but three times a week.
_Approved_.



_To make conserve of Any of these Fruits._

When you have boiled your paste as followeth ready to fashion on the
Pie-plate, put it up into Gallipots, and never dry it, and this is all
the difference between Conserves. And so you may make Conserves of any
Fruits, this is for all hard Fruits, as Quinces, Pippins, Oranges and
Lemons.



_To dry any Fruits after they are preserved, to or Candy them._

Take Pippins, Pears or Plums, and wash them out in warm water from the
syrup they are preserved in, strew them over with searsed Sugar, as you
would do flower upon fish to fry them; set them in a broad earthen Pan,
that they may lie one by one; then set them in a warm Oven or Stove to
dry. If you will candy them withall, you must strew on Sugar three or
four times in the drying.
