CHAP. XI. Of LIQƲORS.

I. Caudela Amygdalina, The Almond Caudle.

Bate.] ℞ OF the best Ale a Quart: Spring∣water a Pint; biting Cinna∣mon ℥j. boil to the Consumpti∣on of a third part: strain, and add thereto Jordan Al∣monds cleansed (but not blanch∣ed) and bruised N^o 60. boil a little, and strain through a Sieve: add, of the best Loaf Sugar ℥ij. and make a Caudle. It is good for Women in Child-bed, who are troubled with a Diarrhaea or Loose∣ness.

Salmon.] § 1. If you add to it Canary or White-wine ℥iv. or ℥vj. it will be so much the better, and comfort the Stomach and Bowels more.

§ 2. If the Woman has been much weakned, and the Flux of long continuance, you had better add to it ℥iij. of strong Cinnamon-water, leaving out the Wine; for Spirit of Wine, and all sorts of vinous Spirits, not only comfort the Bowels, but in a special manner cure a Diar∣rhaea, or any Flux of the Bowels.

§ 3. It may be taken ℥vj. or more at a time, three or four times a day, or as of∣ten as the sick desires it.

II. Caudela Nenupharina, The Water-Lilly Caudle.

Bate.] ℞ Roots of Water-Lillies ℥j. Ising-glass, raspings of Harts-horn, Ivory, White-Sanders, A. ʒij. Bistort-root ʒss. Dates N^o 4. Rice two Spoonfuls: Ale half a Pint; boil to the Consumption of a third part, strain, and add the Yolk and White of one Egg, and white Sugar, q. s. It is for two Doses: It pre∣vents Abortion, eases the Pain of the Back, and is of good use in a Gonorrhoea, and the Whites in Women. It is of extraordinary use, and to be given twice a day.

Salmon.] § 1. If you add to it Catechu ʒjss. Nutmegs ℈j. Roch-Alum ℈ss. it will be so much the more powerful to all the Intentions for which

it is design'd; and not in the least more unpleasant.

§ 2. In case of a Gonor∣rhoea or the Whites, you ought to add Saccharum Sa∣turni gr. viij. strong Cinna∣mon-water ℥iij. and then it will do wonders.

§ 3. It is to be given twice a day, viz. the one half in the Morning fasting, the other half at Night going to Bed: and if there be great Weakness in the Genital parts, you may give the Pa∣tient gr. ij. of our Volatile Laudanum, to be taken im∣mediately before it at Night going to Bed.

III. Emulsio de Avellanis, E∣mulsion of Hasle-Nuts, or Filberts.

Bare.] ℞ Filberts or Hasle-Nuts, N^o 40. Hemp-seed, Seeds of Melons and Musk-melons, A. ℥j. Seeds of Pur∣slane ʒvj. sweet Almonds blanched N^o viij. bruise them all and add simple Milk-wa∣ter lbijss. red Rose-water ℥iv. Sugar-candy ℥ij. mix and strain out by Expression. Dose, Half a Pint twice a day, with the Pouder of a Deers Pizzle ʒj. against Sharpness of Urine, Gonorrhoea, &c.

Salmon.] § 1. Instead of red Rose-water, in my Opi∣nion it is better to put as much Parsly or Arsmart-wa∣ter, because those Waters are confirmed by Experience to be Specificks in giving ease to Heat, Sharpness and Stoppage of Urine.

§ 2. But if the Pain be excited from the Sharpness of the Matter in a Gonorrhoea, it will be absolutely necessa∣ry to add to each Dose ℈j. of Sal Prunellae, and so to give it, till all the Pain and Sharp∣ness is gone.

§ 3. After that, to stop the Gonorrhoea (universals being premised) you may add to each Dose Antimonium Dia∣phoreticum ℈j. Roch-Alum ℈ss. Saccharum Saturni, gr. iij. and exhibiting it Morning and Evening according to use, it will not fail to answer expectation.

IV. Emulsio Cathartica, A Purging Emulsion.

Bate.] ℞ Carthamus seeds ℥j. best Manna ℥iij. Sweet Al∣monds blanched ℥ij. Barley-water, or Epsom-water lbij. mix and make an Emulsion, S. A.

Salmon.] § 1. It is not only Cathartick, but some∣times also emetick, purging and evacuating gross, viscous and tartarous Humors, chiefly

from the Brest and Lungs, and therefore is said to be good against Asthma's Whea∣zings, Hoarseness, and Stuf∣fings of the Lungs.

§ 2. But by reason the Carthamus-Seeds are apt to cause Vomiting, you would do well to correct them by the addition of Mace ʒss. Cloves ℈j. Ginger, gr. xv. for by these the Windiness will be much abated.

§ 3. This quantity here in the Prescript may serve for three Doses in young People, and such as are weak and tender: in stronger, and such as are 12, 14, or 16. Years of Age it may be given at two Doses, that is in two days: but in very strong and rustick Bodies, it may be all drunk in one day, and then it will work very well.

V. Emulsio Expulsiva, An expulsive Emulsion.

Bate.] ℞ Seeds of Citrons hull'd ℥ss. bruise them and add distilled Waters of Citrons, Medesweet, Scordium Com∣pound, A. ℥iij. white Sugar ℥j. make an Emulsion, S. A. Give three Spoonfuls at a time every hour, against the Malignity of the Small-Pox, &c. to expel it.

Salmon.] § 1. It seems to be too cold, to be so ordina∣rily given in the Small-Pox, Measles, &c. you would do well to add to it Tincture of equal parts of Saffron and Cochinele in rectified. S. V. ℥ss. by which means it will not be only more Cordial, but more Sudorifick, expelling the Disease thro' the Pores of the Skin, &c.

§ 2. At night going to Bed you may give it thus: ℞ Of this Emulsion four Spoonfuls: Of our Guttae Vitae, gut. 30. mix for a Dose, for the Patient to rest upon.

§ 3. The next Morning give it thus. Of this Emul∣sion four Spoonfuls: of Sylvius his Anticolick Spirit, gut. 30. mix for a Dose in the inter∣mediate parts of the day you may give it as directed with the Tincture of Saffron, &c.

VI. Emulsio Creatacea, Emul∣sion of white Chalk.

Bate.] ℞ Whtie Chalk in fine pouder ℥iij. Barley-water lbiij. boil to lbij. being cold add of the four greater cold Seeds, A. ʒij. sweet Almonds, N^o viij. Caraways ℈ss. make an Emulsion: then add

Chalk finely poudred ʒiij. Sac∣charum perlatum ℥j. or Dia∣codium ℥jss. according as need may require.

Salmon.] § 1. It is cool∣ing, and abates the heat of Fevers: and by reason of its alcalious Nature will ab∣sorb Acidities in the Sto∣mach and Intestines, thereby taking away Heart-burn∣ings, Gripings, and other like Distempers of those parts.

§ 2. If at last to the whole quantity of the Emul∣sion you add ℥ij. of strong Cinnamon-water to take a∣way its Crudity it will be better and more grateful to the Stomach, nor in the least hurt its Alcalious Property, because it is an. Alcali it self.

§ 3. It may be given of∣ten in the day-time three, four or five Spoonfuls at a time; but if given at night for rest, it ought to be ei∣ther prepared with the Dia∣codium, or Diacodium ʒij. or iij. ought then to be add∣ed to it.

VII. Emulsio Dactylorum, E∣mulsion of Dates.

Bate.] ℞ of Dates stoned, N^o 15. Ale lbijss. boil them together: then beat the Dates with sweet Almonds N^o 24. mix all with the Ale and Express. adding Sugar-Candy and Nutmegs, of each a suffi∣cient quantity. Dose, ℥vj. thrice a day for forty or fifty days, to prevent Abortion ease the Pains of the Back, help a Gonorrhoea, cure a Consumption, Cough, Wast∣ing, &c.

Salmon.] § 1. It is very good in the Diseases named: but if made with equal parts of Raisons of the Sun, and drank as a constant drink for some Months, it cures an inveterate Gout be∣yond all imagination.

§ 2. It also prevails against Hoarsness, Wheasing, Short∣ness of Breath, and all other Stoppages of the Lungs which proceeds from viscous and tartarous Humors.

§ 3. If it be given against a Gonorrhoea or the Whites in Women, universals ought to be premised: and then the Emulsion it self prepared with the addition of ʒvj. of white Poppy-seed.

VIII. Emulsio Peoniata, E∣mulsion of Peony-seeds.

Bate.] ℞ Peony-seeds huld ℥j. bruse them, and add di∣stilled Waters of Rue, black Cherries, of Peony compound, A. ℥vj. make an Emulsion, adding Saccharum perlatum ℥iss You may give three Spoon∣fuls of it in the Morning fasting, and as much at bed∣time; some Specifick Electu∣ary being given before-hand, against the Falling-sickness, Vertigo, Megrim, &c.

Salmon.] § 1. This Medi∣cament is intended against Distempers of the Head, as is the Epilepsie, and other Diseases a-kin to it, proceed∣ing from Cold, Moisture, and too great a plenty of thick Humors.

§ 2. But it ought to be preceeded with some other Specifick, whether Pouder, Electuary, Spirit, or Oil; of which you may see variety in my Pharmacopoeia Londi∣nenfis, Doron Medicum, Sy∣nopsis Medicinae, Jatrica, Parateremata, Seplasium, and this present Pharmacopoeia Bateana so that no more need be said thereof.

§ 3. But as preparatory to all this, a proper Emetick ought to be two or three time before-hand given, that part of the Morbifick cause, which may lodge in the Sto∣mach, and other adjacent Bowels, may be evacuated, after which the Specifick E∣lectuary, &c. may be ex∣hibited with this Emulsi∣on.

§ 4. Though our Author prescribes it to be given but twice a day, Experience has confirmed to me, that it ought to be taken thrice a day at least, viz. Morning, Noon, and Night.

§ 5. If it be given to Men, you ought to per∣fume it with Musk and Am∣bergrise, because they are Specificks in the Epilepsie, adding to the whole quanti∣ty when made, gr. xij. of ei∣ther or both those Ingredients in subtil Pouder: but then you must be sure always to shake the Glass well before you pour forth the Dose.

IX. Jusculum Galli, Cock-Broth.

Bate.] ℞ An old Cock well wearied with running, till, he falls down; then kill him pull off his Feathers, embowel him, and stuff the Body with proper Ingredients: then boil him in Fountain-water, q. s.

for five or six hours, till the Flesh is ready to fall from the Bones, and strain out for use. It is nutritive, and restores in Consumptions, Hecticks, &c.

Salmon.] § 1. The Ingre∣dients with which the Body ought to be stufft are left to discretion of the Physician, which are to be ordered ac∣cording to the Constitution and Disposition of the Pa∣tient.

§ 2. But the most usual Composition is this follow∣ing. ℞ Savory, Hyssop, Par∣sly, Bawm, Borrage, Bugloss, A. M. j. Time, Sweet-marjo∣ram, A. M. ss. Onions ℥iv. Limon-peels ℥ss. mix and chop all small, with which stuff the Body of the Cock, after which boil him as is directed.

§ 3. Being boiled and strained out make it savory with Salt, and squeeze in Juice of Limon, so much as may make it grateful to the Pa∣late; for by the means of the Limon, the Broth will bet∣ter agree with the Stomach, and the Patient will be indu∣ced much the longer to con∣tinue the use of it, whereas otherwise without it, the Stomach would soon loath it.

§ 4. It is an excellent thing not only to restore in Con∣sumptions, but to strengthen such as are weak and faint, and such as are decayed with Age, or are emaciated and weakned through hard La∣bour, Watchings, or Grief of Spirit.

§ 5. It wonderfully streng∣thens a weak Back, easing the Pain thereof, and helps such as have constant Run∣nings and Weaknesses upon them, corroborating the weakned Parts: and there∣fore is commended in con∣tinued Gonorrhoea's, Gleets, Whites in Women, continual running Fistula's, &c.

§ 6. The Patient may drink it freely and liberally, two or three Quarts a day, with Buiscuit, or without it: but the quantity is to be pro∣portioned according as his Sto∣mach will bear it; however observe this as a general Rule, That all things given as Diets, Restoratives, or Al∣teratives, to alter or change an ill Habit of Body ought to be given in very large quanti∣ties or proportions, oftentimes taken in a day, and to be continued for a long time, o∣therwise they profit little or nothing.

X. Lac Ammoniaci, Milk of Gum Ammoniacum.

Bate.] ℞ Pure Gum Ammo∣niacum ʒiij. dissolve it in cold Hyssop-water ℥vj. in a cold Mortar, S. A. It is given often a Spoonful at a time in difficulty of Breathing.

Salmon.] § 1. It is ac∣counted a Specifick in Di∣seases of the Lungs, thickens thin and sharp Rheums, and takes off the roughness of Aspera Arteria, for which reason, it is good against Coughs, Hoarseness, Whea∣sings, &c.

§ 2. It opens Obstru∣ctions of the Liver, Spleen, and all the Bowels, and therefore is given with success against Cachexies, Dropsie, Jaundice, Gout, and Scurvy, but particularly a∣gainst Diseases of the Womb, which proceed from Obstru∣ction of the Courses, and o∣ther parts adjacent.

§ 3. It ought to be given (after general Remedies, and) in the Morning fasting, in White or Rhenish Wine, or some other proper Li∣quor.

XI. Mixtura Anticolica, A Mixture against the Cho∣lick.

Bate.] ℞ The best Manna ℥ij. Cremor Tartari, Sperma Ceti, A. ʒij. mix them. It is gi∣ven as an approved Remedy against the Cholick, in a draught of Chicken Broth.

Salmon.] § 1. It purges away salt and sharp Humors which cause Gripings, mollifies the Aspera Arteria, open Ob∣structions of the Lungs, and other Bowels, purges Choler and watery Humors, and keeps the Belly soluble, be∣ing an excellent thing for such as are apt to be costive.

§ 2. The constant use of it for some time helps to cure Scall'd Heads in Children, and take away other rebelli∣ous Breakings out: Besides it is one of the famed Reme∣dies of the World against the Stone in Reins or Bladder, or any Obstruction of U∣rine.

§ 3. Some Authors affirm Manna to be flatulent, and therefore in my Opinion if you add Cardamoms ℈j. Cloves, Ginger, A. ℈ss. all in fine Pouder to the two Doses, you will do well; or in∣stead of them Oil of Cinna∣mon

or Cloves, or Juniper-berries gut. iv. which is bet∣ter.

XII, Potio Alba, The white Potion.

Bate.] ℞ Turpentine ℥ss. distilled Oil of Nutmegs, gut. j, White-wine ℥iv. Yolk of one Egg: Syrup of Marsh-mal∣lows ℥j. mix and make a draught, S. A. It purges well 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, upwards and downwards and is given a∣gainst a Gonorrhoea.

Salmon.] § 1. It ought to be Venice or Strasburg Tur∣pentine; for the common is too course and foul, and the Cypress and Chio, of too thick a Body, so that it does not easily dissolve.

§ 2. The quantity of White-wine is too little by one half at least; you can∣not well make up the Medi∣cine with less than 8 or 10 Ounces of the Liquor: or instead of White-wine you may use any other Specifick Vehicle.

§ 3. It is a Specifick against the Gonorrhoea in Men, and the Whites in Women, or any wasting or pain in the Back, or other weakness which accompanies such like Distempers.

§ 4. It prevails also against the Cholick, Pain and Sharp∣ness or Heat of Urine, and is really a good thing against the Stone, Gravel, Sand, or any tartarous Matter obstru∣cting those parts: in which cases you may make it with Parsly, Arsmart, or Onion-water, or with Rhe∣nish-wine.

XIII. Potio Febrifuga, A Po∣tion against Fevers.

Bate.] ℞ Salt of Worm∣wood ℈ij. Spirit of Sulphur ℈j. Cichory-water ℥iv. mix them. It is given before the Pa∣roxism or Fit, sweating upon it.

Salmon.] § 1. Before these saline Antifebriticks are gi∣ven, Universals ought to be premised to carry off the the chief of the Morbifick Matter lying in the Stomach, Bowels and first Passages, and these ought to be either E∣meticks or Catharticks, or both.

§ 2. My reason for this is, because these immediately en∣ter into the Blood, and forth∣with cause an alteration in the Sanguinous Juice and other Humors: Now being apt to dissolve all Matters or Sub∣stances they meet with whe∣ther Morbifick or other, and to mix with them, they car∣ry

that diseasie Matter into the Blood with them, and so make the latter end of that Person worse than the begin∣ning.

§ 3. For thereby the whole Mass of Blood, and other Juices of the Body are con∣taminated at once, and that mischief is done, which by a long course of Medicines cannot be easily retrieved a∣gain, which by due Evacua∣tions at first, would be infal∣libly prevented: and this is the general failure of those who use these Medicines without Skill, Judgment, and due Precaution.

XIV. Potio Hydropica, A Potion against the Drop∣sie.

Bate.] ℞ Generous White∣wine ℥iv. Syrup of Buckthorn ℥ij. Sal Prunellae ʒj. mix and make a Potion. May∣hern.

Salmon.] § 1. If Sena ʒj. be before-hand infused in the White-wine, it will work much better in all Hydropi∣cal Cases, for Sena acuates and stirs up the Vertues of ••he Buckthorn admirably be∣yond any other thing.

§ 2. The quantity of the White-wine is two little; you ••o••ht to take ℥vj. of it to make the Composition, add∣ing ʒij. of bruised Liquorice, because this Ingredient al∣ways makes Catharticks work without pain.

§ 3. It opens Obstructions of the Bowels, and carries off those Humors which cause Gripings, illness at Stomoch, Faintings, &c. and it is of singular use against the King's-Evil, Tettars, Ring-worms, and all sorts of breakings out proceeding from salt and sharp Hu∣mors.

XV. Potia Pleuritica, A Po∣tion against the Pleuri∣sie.

Bate.] ℞ Juice expressed from Horse-dung, by mixing with it White-wine, A. ℥ij. Syrup of Corn-poppies ℥j. Pouder of Olibanum ʒss. distilled Oil of Nutmegs, gut. iij. mix and make a Potion; to be taken three or four times a day af∣ter Blood-letting.

Salmon.] § 1. There ought to be ℥vj. of the White-wine, for thereby the Juice of the Horse-dung will be the bet∣ter extracted, and it will serve instead of a Vehicle to take the Medicine in; for o∣therwise you mu•••• give it in some other fit Liquor.

§ 2. Or you may make a compound Menstruum thus. ℞ White-wine, Onion-water, Water of Winter-Cherries or Poppies, A. ℥ij. mix them, to extract the Juice out of two Ounces of Horse-dung: which ought also to be Stone-Horse-dung, and newly made.

§ 3. It is not only an ex∣cellent thing against the Pleu∣risie: but also approved a∣gainst the Cholick and Gri∣pings of the Guts, Stitches in the Sides, and Stone or Gravel in Reins or Bladder, and all sorts of Stoppages of Urine whatsoever.

XVI. Ptisana Cathartica, A Cathartick or Purging Ptisan.

Bate.] ℞ Choice Sena freed from Stalks, Husks, Cods; Li∣quorice, Coriander-seeds, A. ℈j. boiling Fountain-water ℥vj. or viij. make an Infusion by di∣gesting threehours: then strain out the clear. It is an ad∣mirable Medicament because of its delicate Operation: it seldom fails to move the Belly five or six times.

Salmon.] § 1. There ought to be of the three first Ingre∣dients ʒss. and if the Medi∣cine is to be given to a strong Body less than a ʒj. of Sena will not do; and sometimes in Bodies very hard to work upon, I have made an Infu∣sion of ʒij. of Sena for one single Dose.

§ 2. It is a general Pur∣ger, and is said to purge all sorts of Humors (chiefly that which is uppermost) and that in all sorts of Per∣sons.

§ 3. Let it be given in the Morning fasting, and if the Dose works not in three hours, let it be repeated a∣gain, for in such cases it is without danger.

§ 4. Note, The Digestion ought to be made in a gentle heat, so as to keep the Li∣quor scalding hot, and to be continued for three or four hours at least.

XVII. Serum Aluminatum. Whey made with Alum, or Alumed Whey.

Bate.] Alum ʒiij. Milk lbiv. boil a little that a Whey may be made; add Sugar ℥iv. clarifie with the Whites of Eggs, S. A. If you would have it emetick, boil the ʒiij. of Alum in ℥viij. of Milk, making the Serum as before. It is to be exhibited before the Febrile Paroxism.

Salmon.] § 1. The Alum ought to be Roch-Alum: the Milk new made, and which has not stood long, if hot from the Cow so much the better: The Whey ought to be clarified before the go∣ing in of the Sugar, if you use trebble refined Loaf Su∣gar; but if a coarser sort of Sugar, then after.

§ 2. If made with the greater quantity of Milk it vomits not, for it is all to be taken at times, but before the coming of the Fit, and its effects are much like that of the Cortex, being very styptick.

§ 3. But in my Opinion, the lesser quantity ought to be given twice or thrice, some hours before as many Fits of the Ague, because it powerfully provokes Vo∣miting, and admirably car∣ries off the offending Mat∣ter; after which you may with more safety and cer∣tainty give the Medicine in the larger Dose, and with as good Effects as you can desire.

XVIII. Serum Hepaticum, A Whey for the Li∣ver.

Bate.] ℞ Fumitory, Suc∣cory, Endive, A. M. iij. Li∣verwort, M. ij. Agrimony, Sorrel, Harts-tongue, Borrage, Bugloss, A. M. j. Caraway-seeds ʒj. being bruised, put upon them, Whey (made the common way from Milk) lbiij. strain out by Expression, and sweeten with white Sugar ℥iij. clarifying it, S. A. Dose, a Pint at a time twice a day.

Salmon.] § 1. Here is six∣teen Handfuls of the Herbs to lbiij. of the Whey, which is too little if used only to wash out the Juice: it ought indeed to be nearly the double quantity; which when the Juice of the Herbs is expres∣sed out with it, is to be clari∣fied with the Whites of Eggs by boiling.

§ 2. Being clarified you ought to sweeten it with double or trebble refined Loaf Sugar ℥jx. (for ℥iij. to the half quantity will not make it sweet e∣nough.)

§ 3. It opens Obstructi∣ons of the Liver, cools and strengthens it, and allays vio∣lent heats, and the preterna∣tural Fermentations of the Blood and Humors; and therefore is good to be given to Children and young Peo∣ple in the Spring time; and helps such as have the Ric∣kets.

§ 4. It is also a singular An∣tiscorbutick, and good for such as are troubled with Botches, Boils, Itchings, and other Breakings out, in a hot Constitution of Body. Dose, a Pint three or four times a day.

XIX. Serum Scorbuticum. A Whey against the Scurvy.

Bate.] ℞ Leaves of Suc¦cory and Sorrel, A. M. xij. Fir-tops, Scurvy-grass, Water-cresses, A. M. iv. Coriander-seeds ℥j. being bruised, add to them the Juice of Oranges ℥iv. Common Whey of Milk lbiv. white Sugar ℥ij. clarifie S. A. Dose, a Pint twice a day.

Salmon.] § 1. Here is thirty eight Handfuls of the Herbs to two Quarts of Whey, which is nothing near e∣nough to wash out the Juice; less than five Quarts of Whey will not do, to do it as it should be done.

§ 2. The Juice of Oranges (which are to be Sevil) also is too little for that proporti∣on of Herbs ℥xvj. is the least quantity that you can put in, which I would avise to have added after the Juice is ex∣tracted or washed out with the Whey.

§ 3. The Juice of the Herbs being extracted out with the Whey, and the Juice of the Oranges added, clarifie the whole with the Whites of three or four Eggs; and afterwards while warm dulcifie it with trebble refi∣ned Loaf Sugar ℥jx. or x. and keep it for use.

§ 4. You may take a Pint of it at a time in the Morn∣ing fasting: a Pint an hour or something better before Dinner: a Pint about four or five in the Afternoon: and a Pint at Night going to Bed: if the Patient refuses it in so large a quantity, let it be given only Morning, Noon, and Night, about three quar∣ters of a Pint at a time, or according to the Age. Con∣dition and Circumstances of the Patient.

XX. Serum de Sedo, Whey of Housleek.

Bate.] ℞ Juice of com∣mon Housleek lbj. Milk lbij. boil them together, and make a Whey, S. A. Dose, a Pint or a Quart in a day. Its chief use is in Cholerick Fevers, to quench Thirst, re∣press the Heat, &c.

Salmon.] § 1. If to the Whey when made you add Juice of Sevil Oranges ℥ij. and double refined Sugar ℥iss. it will be pleasanter, and more fit for the occasion.

§ 2. Besides the Uses men∣tioned by our Author, it may be given in all sorts of burn∣ing and malignant Fevers; but before the use of it in the beginning of the Disease, I should advise an Emetick to be once or twice given.

§ 3. It is said to kill Worms, and being used for some time (without the Juice of Oranges) to stop hot Fluxes, cool the Reins, and stay the Whites in Women.

XXI. Serum Sinapinum, Mu∣stard-seed Whey.

Bate.] ℞ Milk lbij. heat it, and add Mustard new made, three Spoonfuls, so as to make a clear Whey, which strain out for one Dose, or time. It is a singular thing against a Cough, Asthma, &c. Let it be drank at Bed-time warm, and so likewise in the Morning fasting for three or four days.

Salmon.] § 1. The Medi∣cine is of thin parts, and a good opener of Obstructions, and therefore may very well be good against Asthma's, Wheasings, Hoarseness, and Shortness of Breath.

§ 2. It purges by Urine, and opens Obstructions of the Reins and Bladder; and be∣ing continued for twenty days or more, is said to pre∣vail against a Dropsie.

§ 3. Outwardly used, it allays Inflamations, and by bathing with it hot, gives ease in the most vehement Pains of the Gout, more especially, if you dissolve in it ʒij. of Salt of Tartar, applying Cloths wet in the same, over the part afflicted.
