The Dropsie.
The Dropsie is a water bred within
Betwixt the bowels, and the render skin,
Which clasps about them: which disease indeed
From coldness of the liver doth proceed.
The belly swells, the colour is not good,
The Patient is compel'd to loath his food.

The belly swells, the colour is not good,
The Patient is compel'd to loath his food.
With juyce of Plantain fill some pot; and bind
About the pot a linnen cloth: then find
And lay some ashes on the cloth: the fire
It must abide, until the half expire.
Drink some each morn: This hath been known and seen
To cure the watrish Dropsie, and the Spleen.
