Bate.] It is made of the Regulus of Mars, in all respects as in the Ceruse of Antimony. It is also prepared with a nine∣fold quantity of Nitre. It is Diaphoretick, like the Ceruse of Antimony.

Salmon.] § 1. It has all the Vertues of the Antimonial Ceruse added to the nature of Mars; so that it is not only sudorifick from its Antimo∣nial Property, but it is also opening and strengthening from its Martial; for which reason it is of good use to be given to such as have been troubled with a Chlorosis, (Universals having been first premised) for it confirms the healthful tone of the parts, and prevents the Sick for fal∣ling into the like Distemper again.
