The Vse and Dose of the Species Minor.

THis Powder is very serviceable and Effec∣tual in the King's Evil (as I know by ex∣perience) for in all Tumors arising from the Evil it certainly asswageth, or else bringeth them to Suppuration and breaks them, and all other Tumors of what kind soever, it will either Break or Dissolve them: 'Tis also a so∣veraign Medecine in all manner of Surfits; if a Dose be taken in the Morning fasting in any Liquor as the Patient best liketh, for it frees the Body (both upwards and downwards) of the matter offending, and causeth a good Ap∣petite. The Dose about ten or twelve for a Man; much more might be written of this Powder, but let the Ingenious find them out.

Headrich] If it be so benificial in the curing of Tumors, it would be very serviceable to Chirurgeons that have stubborn Tumors in hand: For being such a Potent Medicine of it self inwardly given, What would it be when Asistance is also applied outwardly? It must certainly facilitate the Cure with more ease in a shorter time.
