Pharmacopœia Bateana, or, Bate's dispensatory translated from the second edition of the Latin copy, published by Mr. James Shipton : containing his choice and select recipe's, their names, compositions, preparations, vertues, uses, and doses, as they are applicable to the whole practice of physick and chyrurgery : the Arcana Goddardiana, and their recipe's intersperst in their proper places, which are almost all wanting in the Latin copy : compleated with above five hundred chymical processes, and their explications at large, various observations thereon, and a rationale upon each process : to which are added in this English edition, Goddard's drops, Russel's pouder [sic], and the Emplastrum febrifugum, those so much fam'd in the world : as also several other preparations from the Collectanea chymica, and other good authors / by William Salmon ...

LXXXVII. Panacea Hart∣manni, Hartman's Pana∣cea, or All-heal.

Bate.] ℞ Combustible Sul∣phur of Antimony ℥j. rectified Oil of Vitriol or Sulphur ℥iij. Regulus of Antimony ℥j. digest warm for ten days, then distil by a Glass Retort in Sand, co∣hobating there at least; aug∣ment the Fire towards the end, and the Matter reverbe∣rate for the space of five hours: afterwards take it forth, wash it in Rose-water and dry it: take of this Pouder ℥j. Salt of Coral ʒij. and mix them exactly S. A. It is instead of an universal Remedy: and is in it self an undoubted Dia∣phoretick, having a power of purifying or cleansing the Blood: and therefore in any curable Disease it performs the Work by sweating, chiefly in the French Pox▪ and De∣fedations of the Skin. Dose, à gr. x. ad xx.

Salmon.] § 1. How this Combustible of Red Sulphur of Antimony is to be made, we will teach you from the same Hart. ℞ Cinnabar of Antimony in fine Pouder q. v. boil it in a very strong Lixi∣vium of Harts-ease, or Calx-Vive in an Iron Skillet for 3 or 4 hours: the Lixivium will be red by reason of the Sulphur, but the Argent Vive will run in the bottom in Flux: the Lixivium tin∣ged, by inclination separate, and whilst hot filterate thro' brown Paper, and put it again where it was for certain hours, and the Sulphur of the Anti∣mony will precipitate in form of a red Pouder, which sepa∣rated from the Lixivium must afterwards be edulcorated with fair water, and dryed with a gentle heat.

§ 2. ℞ Then of this Sulphur of Antimony, Regulus of An∣timony, A. gr. v. Oil of Sul∣phur ℥j. or instead thereof Oil of Vitriol ℥iij. digest for cer∣tain days in a Glass Retort in a Sand-heat, then distil in Sand, cohobating three or four times, increasing the Fire ve∣hemently for the last twelve hours, and the whole will re∣main fixt, which take out wash with Rose-water; and then add to every Ounce of the same Salt of Coral ʒij. which mix and keep for use.

§ 3. How extreamly these Proportions differ from our Text, I cannot but observe; there being but ana. gr. 5. of the Sulphur of Antimony and Regulus to ℥iij. of the Oil of Vitriol; which bare no proportion together, for which

reason I am apt to believe it to be a Mistake in the Print∣er, tho' it is according to the most correct Latin Copy in Folio: that which confirms me the more in this belief is the Prescript of Beguinus Ty∣rocin. Chym. Lib. 2. Cap. 20. which exactly agrees with our Author and from whence I believe it was fetcht, which is infinitely more reasonable, and agreeable to the nature of the Prescription.

§ 4. It wonderfully pro∣vokes Sweat says Hartman, chiefly in malignant and epi∣demical Distempers, being given in proper Sudorifick Waters: It is also sometimes given in Mithridate, and in Conserves; and in the De∣coction of Harts-horn, or o∣ther things of like nature.
