Syrup of Garlic.
Take Garlic (peel'd, and cut into pieces) Aniseed bruis'd, each half an ounce; Elecampane-root 3 drams; Liquorice 2 drams; Brandy 1 pint and half; stop it up close, and give it a warm digestion, two or three days; then having strained the Liquor out clear, and put it in a silver Porrenger over hot Coals, made it ready to boil, and added very fine Sugar 1 pound and a half; set it a-fire, and as it flameth, keep it stirred as long as 'twill burn. And at last, pass it through a flannel Bag.
This is Dr. Willis's Syrup. I have often caus'd it to be made, and found it a very good one. The virtues of Garlic may be seen in Lohoc of Garlic.
