IX. Nitrum Corallatum, Co∣rallated Nitre.

Bate.] ℞ Nitre p. iij. Salt of Coral, p. j. dissolve them apart in Rose-water, and fil∣ter: then mix them together and coagulate S. A. It is pro∣fitable against Fevers, and re∣stores lost Strength. Dose, ad ℈j.

Salmon.] § 1. How the Sal-Coralliorum is to be made we shall shew in Sect. XXVII. fol∣lowing of this Chapter: that being understood, there is no difficulty in making this Me∣dicament; for Nitre is such a saline substance, as being dissoluble in any kind of Li∣quor, whether Waters, De∣coctions, Juyces, Wines or Cyders is apt to receive in∣to it self any other liquifi∣able Body, and to essenti∣ficate its self with them.

§ 2. This corallated Salt is indeed an excellent thing against Fevers of what kind soever, chiefly against all sorts of burning Fevers: it is also restorative especially in hectick Fevers; and if I may give Credit to an old Practi∣ser, who had much used it, that it is excellent even in a Marasmos it self; and that he had sometimes cured a Marasmos with it.

§ 3. However that this is truth I will not affirm, since most Physicians account Ma∣rasmos an incurable Di∣sease: but that it is prevalent against Hecticks, I know by my own Experience, and a singular thing in their resto∣ration; and truly of good use in any Pining whatsoever, principally where there is any preternatural heat a∣bounding.

§ 4. It may be given à ℈ss. ad. ʒss. in any specifick Ve∣hicle, as the Gellies of Harts∣horn, and Flesh of living Creatures accuated with the Juyce of Sevile Oranges, or other things grateful to the Stomach, but always avoid∣ing things ingrateful to the same.
