An Excellent Extract of Mars, for Diarrhaea's and Fluxes.

TAke filings of Steel (which you may buy at the Needle-makers) &ounce;iv. put them in well-glazed Pipkin, and pour thereon a quart of good deep-red Wine, (that which is used to colour White-wine) let it boyl until about three parts of the Wine be consumed, stir∣ring often with an Iron Spatula. Then strain it whilst it is hot.

It is a great and certain Remedy for Dy∣senteries, Diarrhae'as, old Hepatical Fluxes, and such like Diseases; you may give an Ounce of it in Broth fasting, for some Mornings together. This I have sufficiently experienced with happy success.
