Liquor Mercurii vivi.

Take crude Mercury and Aqua fortis, of each an ounce. Dissolve the Mercury in the Aqua fortis, and to the solution add Plantane water two pound, Lapis medicamentosus made with Rose-water. Mix all, and keep it for use.

Virtue and Use. This whitish Mercurial water is to be applied to all the external parts and diseases thereof: It drys up all old Ulcers and Wounds, and skinneth them over, but especially the old sordid Aphrodisia. It takes away all Morphew, Spots, Scurff and Pimples of the Face. It is also a good Remedy in drying Erysipelas's, and healing Fistula's: But in applying it take heed, lest you touch the Eyes or Teeth therewith.
