boil in it Pellitory of the wall, Agrimony, or what herbs you please. To
every ten Gallons of water, take Ginger, Cinnamon, _ana_, one Ounce,
Nutmegs half an Ounce. Divide this quantity (sliced and bruised) into two
parts. Boil the one in the Meath, severing it from the Liquor, when it is

without.
