Virtue, Use, and Dose. This Confection of Hermo∣dactyls is of admirable virtue and forde in the Gout, Sciatica, and such like pains of the Joynts; for it safe∣ly purges all gouty humors: we have also seen many Patients languishing with that tormenting pain, and rouling in their beds, to have been so restored by the use of this Medicine twice, thrice, or more, and the help of external Unctions, that they have soon returned to their former business. And they would do wisely not to use it only under the impending pain; but for their preservation, to use it twice eve∣ry year, that is, Spring and Fall. The dose is from two drams to three.
