THat those things may be remov'd in these diseases, and expectorat, which are gathered through the pro∣per imbecility of the Lungs, use the water of the flowers, in which a third part of Elder Oximel is dissol∣ved, and as Julap twice a day drink two or three ounces thereof, it
cuts the gross matter, and facilitateth the expectoration thereof.
The same Oximel thickned with Sugar-candy, and taken off a liquo∣rice-stick like a Linctus, and swallow∣ed leasurely, worketh well in expe∣ctoration.
The Syrup of the flowers of the Juice of the Berries and Buds, &c. are wholsome taken after the same man∣ner.
The Bark of the Elder entreth that famous Oximel, Helleborat of Ges∣ner.
The spirit of the berries in a great Dispnoea is profitable, half a spoonful, or a spoonful thereof taken with su∣gar.
Use this following Asmalick, or Pneumatick Spirit, if you please.
Being cut, and shaked together, in∣fuse them in a sufficient quantity of the spirit of Granorum actes, in which let them stand seven days, every day twice stirring all together; afterward let them be distilled in Bal. Mar. for the Pneumatick spirit of the Elder, which in time of necessity is to be ta∣ken either by it self, or dulcerat with a little sugar, or the syrup of Violets.
Or with the same with Canary-sugar, or of Madara, prepare the oyl of the Elder-sugar as followeth. Take of this Pneumatick spirit rectified, as much as you will, mix with it half the quantity of Sugar; fire the spirit with a wax-candle, or light paper, stir it hither and thither with a knife, till all turn to a thick and oily liquor, and the flame cease of it self. Use it as an Eclegme with a stick of Liquorice by it self; or mix with an equal part of Elder Oximel, it mightily moves ex∣pectoration,
&c. 'tis profitable to a∣noint the breast in the greatest diffi∣culty of breathing with the oyl of Elder-flowers of the first description; you may mix therewith some drops of the oyl of the flowers of the third description.
In suffocating Catars, besides these abundantly declared, it availeth much, if in the time of the fit, you put a sponge dipped in Elder-vine∣gar to the nose, and therewith wet the crown of the head.
