_Poppy water._

Take four pound of the flower of Poppies well pickt and sifted, steep
them all night in three Gallons of Ale that is strong, and still it in a
Limbeck; you may draw two quarts, the one will be strong and the other
will be small, &c.



_A Water for a Consumption, or for a Brain that is weak._

Take Cream (or new milk) and Claret-wine, of each three pints of
Violet-flowers, Bugloss and Borage-flowers, of each a spoonful, Comfrey,
Knot-grass, and Plantane of these half a handful, three or four
Pome-waters sliced, a stick of Liquorish, some Pompion seeds and
strings; put to this a Cock that hath been chased and beaten before he
was killed, dress it as to boil, and parboil it until there be no blood
in it; then put them in a pot, and set them over your Limbeck, and the
soft fire; draw out a pottle of water, then put your water in a Pipkin
over a Charcoal fire, and boil it a while, dissolve therein six ounces
of white Sugar-candy, & two penny weight of Saffron: when it is cold
strain it into a glass, & let the Patient drink three or four spoonfuls
three or four times a day blood-warm; your Cock must be cut into small
pieces, & the bones broken, and in case the flowers and herbs are hard
to come by, a spoonful of their stilled waters are to be used.
