Against the Scurvy.
If any Scholar be troubled with an itch, or breaking out, which in time may prove the Scurvy, let him first forbear clawing and fretting meats, and then purge choler, but by no means upwards.
For restoring Gentlemen Ushers’ Legs.
If any Gentleman Usher hath the consumption in his legs, let him feed lustily on veal two months in the spring time, and forbear all manner of mutton, and he shall increase in calf.
For the Tentigo.
If any be troubled with the Tentigo, let him travel to Japan, or, because the forest of Turnbolia is of the same
altitude, or elevation of the Pole, and at hand, let him hunt there for his recreation, and it shall be done in an instant.
For the Angina.
If any Scholar labour of the Angina, a dangerous disease in the throat, so that he cannot speak an hour together once in a quarter of a year, let him forbear all violent exercises, as trotting to Westminster Hall every term, and all hot liquors and vapours; let him abstain from company, retiring himself warm clad in his study four days in a week, et fiet.[625]
For a Felon.
