LXXIV. Mercurius praecipi∣tatus fixus; Precipitate fix'd.

Bate.] ℞ Purified Quick-silver ℥iij. Sal Armoniack ℥iss. Flowers of Sulphur ℥ij. mix and sublime; beat and mix the sublimate with the feces, and sublime again; then aug∣ment the fire, that it may be red hot; what remains fixed in the bottom is called a Pana∣cea, or Alcohol. It moves all sorts of noxious Humors, and expels them by Sweat. Dose ℈ss. ad ʒss.

Salmon.] § 1. The Pre∣script you have exactly in Schroder, Pharm. lib. 3. c. 15. The Ingredients are so well to be mix'd, till none of the Quicksilver appears for other∣wise the sublimation will be made but in part, and that is the reason of a second sub∣limation, because 'tis impos∣sible but some grains may e∣scape grinding at first.

§ 2. The first Sublimate is therefore to be ground again with the Feces, and then to be sublimed after the same manner as before; and at last the Fire is to be encrea∣sed, to make what will to ascend, so will that which ascends not be fixed, and as Schroder says, is a great Se∣cret.

§ 3. In this Operation a part of the Mercury is only fixed, which part is fixed by the Acid of the Sulphur in conjunction with the Acid part of the Sal Armoniack, by help of a second sublimation, as Hofman thinks.

§ 4. It expels preternatu∣ral Humidities, and malign Serosities in the Venereal Di∣sease, disposing running Ul∣cers to a healing; but says Hofman, it expels them not without salivation, as Expe∣rience testifies. However, it is more gentle than Turpethum Minerale, or any other sali∣vating Precipitate.
