Their fatt applied with a sponge helpes the piles, &c. Muff. Both the Salmon and gray trouts are very pleasant, and good for sound persons, but in agues they are not comparable to the Perch, they are best if sodden like a Beame and eaten hot, for if cold they loose much of their grace., and more of their goodnesse.
