The Recept of the Plurisy Water
Take a peck of stone horse dung, put to it a gallon of white win, 2 ounces of liquorish, 2 ounces of methridate. Let all this lie in steep for 24 houres then put into your still and distil1 it with a quick fire. This water cures all plurises drunk 2 a day four spoonfules at a time.
