Salmon.] § 1. You may put in a Quart of Vinegar, (which ought to be of White-wine) at a time, often stir∣ring or shaking of the Bottle in which it is put: and it is best to let the Vinegar stand upon the Pouder all the time, till you have spent the quantity, pouring it off, on∣ly as you have occasion to use it.

§ 2. Of this Vinegar you may give ad ʒvj. or more, sweet∣ning it with some proper Sy∣rup, or dissolving ʒij. or iij. of double refined Sugar in it, and so giving it in the Morning fasting.

§ 3. It is a famed thing a∣gainst all sorts of Agues, whe∣ther Quotidian, Tertian, or Quartan, and seldom fails to cure them, if given by a skilful Hand: it ought not to be given in the Fit, but on the day the Fit is not, or otherwise so many hours be∣fore the coming of the Fit, as that the working of it may be fully over; and to be re∣peated two, three, or four times as need shall be: after which you ought to exhibit the Cortex in Pouder, à ʒj. ad ʒij. every day for twelve or fourteen days together, not purging after it.

§ 4. It is good also against weakness and illness of the Stomach pain of the Stomach, Soorbutick Cholick, indige∣stion and want of Appetite, evacuating both upwards and downwards all those tenaci∣ous, viscous and tartarous Humors in the Ventricle and Bowels, which are the Cause of almost infinite Di∣seases.

§ 5. When this quantity of Vinegar is spent, you may affuse the like quantity again, repeating the same almost ad infinitum, so vast∣ly diffussive is the wonderful and admirable Power and Vertues of this Mineral.
