Melancholia

in Melancholia, "few distorted ideas occur with the bulk of intellectual functioning intact" (34)

Feverfew is recommended for "such as be melancholike, sad, pensive and without speech".

Or, "syrup made of the flowers of borage 'comforteth the heart, purgeth the melancholy' "

However, the most common cure is by far Black Hellebore, or Christmas Rose, which also "purgeth all melancholy humors". (35)
