Lotion with a gargle for those who have the French sickness, with 3 syrups given before the medicine.
Take ½ ounce each of syrup of juice of fumitory, hops and endive and 1 ounce each of water of endive, hops and fumitory. Mix these 3 kinds of syrups with the 3 kinds of waters and this makes one syrup. Take 3 of these in a row and afterward take the medicine written below. Viz.

The medicine.
Take 1 ounce of fresh extract of cassia, 1 ounce each of juice of violet and rose, 1 ounce each of
diacatolicon,
electuary of rose juice and confection of
ameche
and enough water of hops and your medicine is made. Give it warm at dawn and by reposing at least an hour until it begins to work, it will have a good action. On the advice of the doctor, draw blood where it seems to him that it will have a good and useful effect on the sick person and it can only benefit him to do this before giving the medicine.

These are the syrups that the sick person in given to use after he has taken the first medicine. They are wanted for those who have the French sickness that is not recent and who are liverish, yellow and dropsical and with other problems that the person may have inside. Use all these items for your cure. Viz.
Take 1 ounce each of colocynth and round birthwort, 2 ounces each of cloves, nutmeg, long pepper, ginger and grains of paradise, 2 scruples each of musk and amber, 6 ounces of fine sugar and 3 lb. of malvasia or good wine. Break up all these things coarsely and put them in a little linen sack that is clean and pure. Take a clean little pot or other suitable vessel and put in the malvasia and 2 or 3 lb. of cistern water. Then put in the sack which should be suspended in the middle so that it does not touch the bottom or even the sides of the pot. Make it boil very slowly with a low fire until it reduces 1/3. Then put in the sugar and after it has reached 2 or 3 boilings, remove it from the fire and it will be made, the beverage which is worthy and high class. When it is cool, strain it carefully. Save it in a glass flask, pressing the sack well and save it in a secure place that is cool because the longer it has been made, the better it is and it does not spoil. See that the patient takes it every morning as the usual syrup, at least 6 ounces, if he has the kind of sickness that requires following the rule of what ought to be taken. Then he should wait at least 4 or 5 hours before eating and he should eat only good food, delicate and light, and this without exception. He should not eat things that are harmful, nor things sour, nor salty and in all things he should be temperate.
