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 ...

XXVIII. * Syrupus Jovialis, Syrup made with Tin.

Bate.] ℞ Filings of Tin ℥vj. of Mars ℥ij. Fountain-water lbvj. infuse all for forty hours; then add Tamarisk M. ij. Bark of Caper-roots ℥jss. Raisons ℥iv. Aniseeds ℥j. boil to the Consumption of lbiv. strain, and add white Sugar lbj. clarifie, and boil to the Consistency of a Syrup. Dose, ℥j. every Morning with Ma∣gistral-water of Earth-worms ℥ij. It prevails mightily a∣gainst Hypochondriack Me∣lancholy, Cachexia, Green-sickness, Yellow Jaundice, &c.

Salmon.] § 1. I know not what good the Filings of Tin or Mars can do in this Pre∣paratio•• nor what Vertue

so simple a Menstruum as Fountain-water is, can ex∣tract from them without the help of an Acid, such as is that of Vinegar, or Crude Tartar.

§ 2. In my Opinion, it would be much better to make the Syrup by it self without the Filings▪ adding a little Vinegar or Juice of Limons thereto; and then af∣terwards to add thereto Salt of Tin ʒiij. Salt of Mars ʒjss. by which means it will be made much more power∣ful and effectual to the Pur∣poses intended.

§ 3. You may then give it à ʒiv. ad ʒvj. in the Wa∣ter aforenamed, or other proper Vehicle.
