This is prepared in the like manner as Rosin of Jalap; but in this Medicin, in as much as the saline particles, many of them, fly away whilest it dissolves, and are not * 1.1 all gathered together in the Rosin with the sulphureous ones, the operation thereof is gentler and weaker than that of the whole mixed body. For though there be a great quantity of Sulphur in the Scammony, yet the operation thereof depends very much upon the saline particles: wherefore whilest the Powder of it is smoked by Sulphur burnt under it, the purging quality is much weakened; in as much as the acid Salts that are sent forth with the Smoke, do subdue or fix the particles of that mixt body which are otherwise saline. After the same manner as out of Jalap and Scammony you may make rosiny Extracts out of Turbith and Mechoaca.
