And againfl: worms in the belly,take Garlike, with the iuice
of Parcely and Mi ntes, which rcixe with a little vineger and
pepper, 6c making therof a fauce,vfe to eat of die fame with
bread or meat And for the cholicke and paines of the rains,
feeth Garlike in wine and oile,which applying plaftcr- wife
on the belly, 6c round about the root of the yard,doth great"
ly helpe the fame. And by eating of Garlike, a man may the
fafclicr go into a fufpefted aire,and by ftinking places ,bc-
caufe the ftrong fauor of it(fcr the feafon) doth putaway all

,
it doth then fooner cngenderred choler,and incrcnfeth ad-

in the winter time, is right profitable to the flegmatick per-
fons.AndfnrtherjGarhkeron'^d vr.der the hot embers, and
bruifed with figs -ind barrou es greace.and that applied pla-
ftcr- wife,doth breake a cold impo flume which is long ere it
be ripe. And the garlik enten pntteth away the inward fwcl-
ling of the body, and foftncth and openeth impoftumes ( as
abouefaid ) and draweth forth the matter, and the head an-
nointed with the iuice of Garlik, doth kill both the nits and
lice. And the Garlik drunk with the decoction of the Orga-
ny doth alfo kill the nits and lice of the head. And the afl^cs
of the Garlikc mixed with hony, and that anointed on thin
places of the headjdoth helpe the fhedding of the hairc: and

and dull the fight ofthecics. And Garlik foddenand eaten,
doth caufe a cleare voice,helpetii an old cough,purgeth the
coldbreft:,and drieth vp themoiftureofthe ftomacke.And
the Garlike(with the leaues & all)fodden in wine & drunk,
doth notonly procure vrine, but moueth down the tearms,
and drawethdown alfo the after burthen, if the belly bea-

doth then vndoubtedly declare that flieis conceiued with

with child, and therefore to be refrained in that feafon. And
the iuicc of the roote anointed on oldcvlcers, doeth both
cleanfe and eat away the canker in them : and the fame like
worketh the pouder of the root. And the iucc of the Radifli
boiled with hony, and mixed with alitle vineger,and after
drained and drunk, doth help the quartaine ague,and ftopr

doeth helpe the water bet wecne the skin, and fuchdifeafed
with the hardnes and fwelling of the milt. And the iuice of
the roote drunke with the liquor ofRaifons, doth helpe the
kings cuilrand drunk with hony,doth put away the cough:
and this being alfo drunk,helpeth fuch which be flopped in
the bre(},and draw the wind fhort. And of this root is made
an Oximel on this wife : firft bruife the root fomewhatând
infufe them for two or three daies in vineger, and after put
to the fame a third part of hony,which ri:rained,drink ther-
