for any Cough._

Take four Ounces of Licoras scraped and bruised, Maidenhair one Ounce,
Aniseeds half an Ounce, steep them in Spring water half a day, then boil
it half away; the first quantity of water which you steep them in must

every night when you go to rest.

Take half a Pound of Blanched Almonds beaten very fine with a little

take half a pound of Sugar, and a little more, wet it with water, and
boil it to a Candy height, then put in your Almonds and Roses, and a
grain of Musk or Ambergreece, and let them boil a little while together,
and then put it into Glasses, and it will be a fine sort of Marmalade.

into a Stove, and that will make it to jelly the better.
