Put Thebane Opium cut into small pieces upon an Iron plate, and set it upon hot coals, constantly stir∣ring it, till all the poisonous and corrosive quality is separated by Evaporation. Yet take this caution, let not him that tends it receive the Fumes, for it is hurtful. When this is evaporated, the Opium left upon the Plate will have a fragrant smell like Vio∣lets,
which is a true sign that all its malignity is se∣parated; then dissolve this Opium thus prepared ei∣ther in Wine-vinegar distilled, or in Juyce of Ci∣trons: which being done, again draw off the Men∣struum, and keep it for use.
