X. An often Experimented An∣timonial Infusion.

TAke one Ounce of pouder'd* Antimony; tied up in a lit∣tle Bag of clean Linnen, and hang it in a Gallon of Beer or Ale that is brought from the Brew-house, and is yet scarce fit to be drawn out, much less to be drank. Of this Liquor, when 'tis ripe, let the Pa∣tient make use for his ordinary Drink; only having a Care, that if by Age or Accident it be perceiv∣ed to grow sour, that Vessel then be left off, for fear, lest the Acidi∣ty of the Liquor, corroding the An∣timony, might make it vomitive.
