CHAP. XLVI.Of the Water of the four Seeds.
ThisWater has its Name from the four Seeds from whence is it drawn,viz.the Seeds of sweet Fennel, Coriander, Angelica, and Anise.
Take of sweet Fennel-seed seven Ounces; Coriander-seed nine Ounces; of the Seeds of Angelica and Anise, of each three Ounces; bruise all these in a Mortar, and put them into the Still with ten Gallons and a Half of Proof Spirits, and two Gallons of Water; draw off with a gentle Fire till the Faints begin to rise, and dulcify with fine Sugar.
This Water is a very good Carminative, good in Cholics, Nauseas of the Stomach, and Gripings of the Bowels.
