XVI. * Spiritus Hyssopi Ve∣rus, The true Spirit of Hys∣sop.

Bate.] ℞ Fresh Hyssop when in Flower, q. v. bruise it well, and put it into an Oa∣ken Vessel, adding Fountain-water warm, q. s. and a little Ale-yeast; let it alone for a while to ferment, viz. for ten or twelve days: then add more Water, and distil by an Alem∣bick; afterwards rectifie it often in B. M. according to Art. After the same man∣ner you may prepare the Spi∣rits of other Herbs and Plants. It is an admirable Pecto∣ral.

Salmon.] You must not distil to driness in a Copper Vesica, for then the Matter distilled will certainly taste of burning; but only draw off about two thirds of the humidity, which afterwards you may rectifie in Balneo

Mariae, as is directed. It is designed against Coughs, Colds, Obstructions of the Breast and Lungs, Wheesings, Hoarsness Shortness of Breath, and Difficulty of Breathing; you may prescribe it thus: ℞ Of this Spirit ℥j. Aquae Lactis Pectoralis ℥ij. Liquid Laudanum gut. 20. ad 30. mix for a Dose, to be given at Night going to Bed: or half of it in a Fit of Coughing in the day time, and to be repeated. Or thus: ℞ Of this Spirit ℥j. Aq. Lactis Pe∣ctoralis ℥ij. Spir. Salis Armo∣niaci gut. 20. Syrup of Red Poppies enough to sweeten it, mix for a Dose.
