<HEAD>I. The QUEEN <HI>of</HI> HUNGARY<HI>'s</HI> WATER, <HI>Rightly Prepared; as it has been many Years experienced and continues approv|ed by the Nobility and Gentry of</HI> Eng|land.</HEAD>
<P>COncerning its Virtues I &s;hall tran&s;cribe Her own Recommendations, <HI>viz.</HI> Anno 1511. in the City of <HI>Buda</HI> this Receipt was found in a <HI>Breviary</HI> that belonged to <HI>Elizabeth</HI> Queen of <HI>Hungary;</HI> on the back|&s;ide
<PB N="2" REF="2">whereof [being Tran&s;lated] this was written, <HI>viz. Of this Water of Life I</HI> Elizabeth <HI>Queen of</HI> Hungary, <HI>and Aged</HI> 27 <HI>years, very weak,</HI> Pal&s;ical <HI>and</HI> Gouty, <HI>did u&s;e this Receipt for one year, which an old Hermit gave me, whom I never &s;aw before nor after; and I was thereby wonderfully cured, and restored to my former Strength and Beauty, appear|ing to every body very Beautiful. in&s;omuch that the King of</HI> Poland <HI>de&s;ired to Marry me, (I being a Widow) which I re|fu&s;ed to doe for my Saviour Christs-&s;ake, of who&s;e Angel I be|lieve I received this Medicine.</HI></P>
<P>A noble Commendation! And indeed <HI>Ro&s;emary flowers,</HI> (of which this <HI>Bal&s;amick</HI> Liquor is compounded) are full of Volatile Salt and Sulphur, two of the principal Agents of Nature; but more e&s;pecially when their Virtue is ani|mated by the &s;ubtilty of the Spirit of Wine, which doth in a moment penetrate from the Center of the Stomach to the Circumference of the Body, and doth in&s;pire Vi|gour into all the Functions of our Life.</P>
<P>'Tis found by Experience to be an admirable Re&s;torer of decayed Memory, by bathing the Temples; and by pouring a little into the Palm of the Hand, &s;nuffing up the No&s;trils the &s;cent thereof very &s;trongly, and doing it Morn|ing and Evening; and at the &s;ame time take half a Spoon|ful in a Gla&s;s of Beer or Ale, or in a Sack-gla&s;s full of fair Water &s;weetened with fine Sugar.</P>

<P>It corrects and amends an ill &s;avouring Breath; and &s;trengthens the Stomach, amending any imperfections thereof; as want of Appetite, bad Dige&s;tion, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> vanqui&s;h|ing windy and unwhole&s;ome Vapours which annoy the Head and Heart, by taking half a Spoonful mixt as afore|&s;aid la&s;t at Night, and fir&s;t in the Morning, and at any other time when the Stomach is out of order.</P>
<PB N="3" REF="2">
<P><NOTE N="*" PLACE="marg">Excellent for the Gripes.</NOTE> It &s;peedily cures the Gripes by taking two &s;poonfuls in a pint of Ale (made very warm before you put the Spirit in|to it) and drink it off, and walk much upon it; but if they be very violent, 'twill be be&s;t to go to Bed upon it, and try to &s;leep, and when you awake drink a draught of Mace-Ale hot, and if there be occa&s;ion repeat the &s;ame quantity of Spirit again.</P>
<P>'Tis a powerful Antidote again&s;t the <HI>Pe&s;tilence,</HI> or any other Contagious Di&s;tempers, by taking a Spoonful every Morning and Evening mixed with &s;uch a quantity of fair Water and Sugar as is before directed.</P>

The con&s;tant u&s;e thereof not onely pre&s;erves the Teeth, but al&s;o pre|vents the Tooth-ach by di&s;per&s;ing the Cau&s;e.</P>
<P>'Tis an excellent Remedy for a Cough or Cold, by taking two Spoonfuls at Bed-time in a Gla&s;s of warm Ale with a &s;poonful of Fine Sugar di&s;&s;olved therein; and in the Morning bathe well the Temples and No&s;trils.</P>
