SC - Nerve Bisquits??? I can't find them in the _Physica_

[LYN M PARKINSON]

>>One who suffers nausea should pulverise cumin with a third as much
pepper
and a quarter as much pimpernel. He should mix this powder with pure
wheat
flour, and make cookies, with egg yolk and a little water, either in a
hot
oven or under hot ashes. He should eat these cookies, as well as the
cumin
powder on bread, and it will suppress the hot and cold humors in his
intestines, which cause his nausea. (pp. 19-20).<<

Your Grace,  "much pepper" is obviously a scribal error.  May I
substitute saffron?
