A Temperate Pearl Cordial Julep.
Take waters of Borage, Woodsorrel, each 4 ounces; Damask Rose, and Barly Cinnamon water, each 2 ounces; Pearl prepared 1 dram; white Sugar candy 3 drams; Oil of Nutmeg 1 drop, mix.
It brings and exceeding grateful and present Relief to those that are troubled with sick Fits, and Anxieties in Fevers; For it neither exagitates nor rarifies the Blood; neither doth it promote or increase its effervescence; and yet nevertheless, succours the Ventricle, labouring and almost sinking under the oppression of sharp Feculencies, and adult Humours flowing from the Blood, endeavouring Despumation, and excocted by preternatural Fermentation: And all this it does, by imbuing the Stomach with a sweetly pleasing Gust and Flavour, whereby it being recreated and rejoiced, the Spirits (both indwelling and inflowing) through the whole Machine, are inspired with fresh Vigour, at an instant recruited, and mightily supported. The Dose is 6 spoonfuls at pleasure.
