This is very easily made, and is much
better than if it were to be distilled. It is
of excellent Use in such Consumptions as
proceed from a sharp thin Blood ; especially
in those who have been injured by a Vene
real Taint, or have any Hereditary Re
mains of scrophulous or leprous Humours.
It is ordered to be drank for some time to

a Day. It is also directed to wash foul Ul

This is admirably well contrived both for

Cheapness and Efficacy ; and for Persons
whoso Circumstances and Manner of living
have not habituated them to any Delicacies,
it is as good a Snail-water as can be made j
and with the two former, are the chief that
are used in the Hospitals. And as they are
mostly given in Consumptions contracted
from vicious Practices, and Venereal Conta
gions, this is the constant Drink of those
who are under the like Weaknesses and De

as will, with the least Trouble possible, be
asfimulated for that purpose.

This is a- very good Water, and warmer

as a Cordial in any Fainting or Gripes, especially in those which frequently happen in
raising a Salivation.
In the -Lock they generally salivate by
Unction, and it has been observed, that the
1 Lues, and many Cases which would not give
way to a Salivation raised by inward means,
have been overcome by this j tho' many are
of Opinion, that the external Method is
most dangerous.

fit thereby to be taken either in Substancej

has the same Qualities of a Deobstruent.
Its usual Dose is from î, to 3ls, in a Chlo'rosts, and all menstrual Obstructions. It is
likewise a good Medicine in all Hypochondriacal Affections ; but as the Cure of such
Patients consists generally more in their way
of living, than in Medicine, an Hospital
cares not for the Admission of such Inva*

Take of fine Oyl of OKves and VeniceTurpentine each 4 Pound, yellow Wax cut

and add Dragons-blood in fine Powder 2

This is much better than that of theCVIcgt Dispensatory, tho' much cheaper and

much better Colour than the Saunders,
which is in the other -, and if either have
any Virtues suitable to the whole, this bids
the fairest ; and will also much better mix
therewith, because it in a manner dissolves
in the Oyl. It is used bcth inwardly,
in all Suspicions of internal Ulcerations,
and externally as a Digestive.

This will work both upwards and down
wards, and frequently salivates. It is so
churlish, as not to be given but to robust
Constitutions, and in very obstinate Cases;
and in very stubborn Ulcers it frequently
promotes their Cure more than any other
Mercurial whatsoever.

it rectify'd Spirit of Wine, so as to stand 2

stir it about all the while it is burning. Lee

Dose, is 1 o Grains.
The burning of the Precipitate in this
manner, breaks off the Points of those Salts
which join to the Mercury in its Preparation,
and. makes it operate with a greater Mild
ness, it being hardly safe in inward Use,
without such Correction. And with this
Salivations are frequently raised by giving
10 Grains for a Dose, with Conserve of
Roles, or any thing of like Substance. This
is the Powder mentioned in the foregoing
Prescription.

This is a very forceable Diuretick, and
operates with great Quickness, if given .in
a proper Quantity of Liquor, as White-wine
Whey, or any such Diluter. For what is
drank with it greatly helps its Operation,
and makes it pass with much more Safety,
because it is so sharp, as otherwise to rake
the Membranes too much, which will some
times straiten the Passages, and encrease the
Obstruction. A Quantity of Fluid likewise
much favours the Operation of stimulating
Diureticks, not only as a Vehicle, but be
cause it presses the faster by its Weight,
thro' the depending Passages. In all Suspi
cions of the Stone and Gravel, this is given
once or twice in a Day, and continued ac
cording to the Importance ofthe Symptoms ;
but in sloughy and viscid Obstructions, it is
the more particularly sitted to break thro'.
For Oily Medicines are most suitable to sto
ny Concretions, which stop the Vessels, be
cause they relax and render slippery the
Passages: but in Collections of viscid Mat
ter, they only encrease the Stoppage j and

Take Pomatum i Pound, and White Pre
cipitate x Ounces j and mix them together
into an Ointment.

Leprosie, and all such obstinate Deformi
ties of the Skin, and chiefly to the more

safe by much. It is sometimes liable to
raise a Salivation, where it is not expected.
