Attempering Juice.

Take Dandelion, as much as you think fit, pound it to a Mash, put it into a glazed Pipkin with a Cover, stop it up with Past, set it in an Oven after the Bread is drawn; let it stand in six hours, then putting it into an Hair Seive, let the clear Liquor drain out.

Thus may Juices be extracted from any other juicy Herbs.

This simple Medicine dilutes the Blood and Humours, corrects their acrid Salt, and is a principle thing in an hot Scurvy, and Cutaneous Affections. I have known where it hath done good, even in a Lepra Graecorum, so far as to keep it from itching, heating, and spreading, and made it tolerable, though it could not cure it.

Let four or six ounces be drank thrice, or oftener in a day.
