When thoroughly dry, put them in a jar with cinnamon, mace, cloves, and nutmeg; the nugmeg must be a little bruised - a handfull of salt; mix them well, & wet them with rose water, add a little pounded [illegible] root, 2 1/2 an orange peel dried; tie the jar close up, with a bladder & leather over it, for two months
