Take a quantity of eg-shels, wash them cleane; those are the best
whereout chickens are come; dry them very dry in an oven, or betweene
two tile stones; then make powder thereof, searce it, and mingle it
with sugar, or powder of licoras to give it taste, and let him use it
as often as hee needeth, morning and evening, either with Rhenish wine,
white wine, or stale ale, a spoonfull of the powder at a time, and use
to make water in a cleane bason, and so you shall see the deliverance
hereof.

and Sage, and still them with breast milk together with five drams of

Take the yolke of an Egge, and beat it, then mixe with it one grated
Nutmegge, and lay it on an hot tyle stone to bake, and eate thereof

_To take away rednesse of burning of
the Eyes._
Take the white of an Egge, and beat it very well with a spoonfull or
two of red Rose-water, then put thereto the pap of a rosted apple,
mingle them well together, and spread it upon a little Flaxe; so lay it

_For the Rheume in the Eyes._
Take the white of an Egge, and so much Bolearmoniacke as will thicken
