A corrected Anti-Epileptick Water of Langius.

Take shavings of Mans Scull, Misletoe of the Oak, Roots of Piony, and white Dittany, of each two ounces; fresh Flowers of Lilly Convally two handfuls; of Laven∣der, Rosemary, and Tilet, of each three handfuls, Cinnamon six drams, Nutmeg half an ounce, Cloves, Mace, and Cubebs, of each two drams; being all bruis'd, put them into a Matras close stopp'd, in eight pints of Malmsey; let them macerate for a week over a very gentle fire; then distill them in a moderate Sand-bath, and keep the water for use.

This Anti-Eleptick water of Langius has been long in request; but it will be much better'd by adding the shavings of human Skull, and preparing it as here pre∣scrib'd. It is given in Epileptick passions from two drams to an ounce. It may be us'd also as well for the prevention, as in the cure of this distemper. It is also very proper in all cold diseases of the Brain.
