Salmon.] § 1. It is a slip∣pery thing, and cleanses and smooths the Passages from

the Reins by its slipperyness: but in my Opinion, Parsley, or Arsmart, or Pellitory-wa∣ters, had been much more proper than Rose, Plantane, or Purslain waters, for this occasion, because they carry with them a singular Diure∣tick force, but with much gentleness, and seem to be Specificks appropriated to the Reins.

§ 2. You may give it in a draught of Milk-water in which fix, eight, or ten Grains of Salt of Tartar is dissolved: It will indeed be so much the more effe∣ctual.
