the_o sick_a neither_o mithridate_n nor_o diascordium_n as_o be_v the_o common_a custom_n nor_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o wrist_n nor_o stomach_n nor_o any_o thing_n else_o that_o be_v nauseous_a whilst_o nature_n and_o the_o disease_n be_v struggle_v but_o if_o the_o patient_n tend_v to_o coldness_n you_o may_v moisten_v a_o piece_n of_o rose-cake_n or_o a_o toss_v of_o stale_a bread_n in_o
