Let them stand together (in a large Ves∣sel) in a cold and moist place for some Months; that is to say, so long till the Salt has indeed drank or suckt up a triple quantity of the Oil (daily and often in the interim stirring it well with a ••estel, and adding more Oil as oft as there is need) till the whole comes into one Mass like to Soap, and attains a homogene thickness unseparable. It is designed for the Preparation of Pilulae Pacificae, and Mat∣thew's Pills.

Salmon.] § 1. Those are the chief Intentions for which it it prepared: but it may be given inwardly to ℈j. or ʒss. dissolved in any proper Li∣quor against the Stone, Gra∣vel, Heat and Sharpness of Urine, or for any Obstructi∣on of the Reins, Ureters and Bladder from a Tartarous Matter.

§ 2. It is also a famous thing being applied outward∣ly against the Gout, or any other Ach or Pain, for it gives ease to a Miracle more especially if to ℥j. of Soap, ʒij, of Camphire be added.

§ 3. Lastly, Although the Prescript only orders it to be made with Oil of Turpen∣tine, yet it may as well be made with Oil of Juniper∣berries, and many other Chy∣mical Oils, and so become more homogene, pleasant, and effectual to the Pur∣poses you intend it: but this ought to be done ac∣cording to the Intention and Design of the Physician.
