Decoctum Ficuum, or a Decoction of Figs.

Take fifteen fat Figs, Raisons two ounces, Harts-horn and pulp of Tamarinds, of each an ounce; roots of Li∣quorish and Mock-chervil, of each half an ounce; Bar∣berries two drams, seeds of Carduus and Fenil, of each a dram and a half. Make a Decoction in Barley wa∣ter, and being strained, clarifie it with the White of an Egg, then take of this Liquor a pound and a half, Syrup of the juyce of Citrons four ounces. Mix them for use.

Virtue, Use, and Dose. It safely and without any danger expels and drives forth the small Pox and Meazles, and curbs the malignity of them. The dose is often in the day from one spoonful to two; but if the Belly were too loose, add Gum Tragacanth in the place of Pulp of Tamarinds.
