Salmon.] § 1. Mynsicht in his Thesaurus, Sect. 1. pag. 31. advises, That so much of the

Spirit may be coagulated and united with the Salt, till it prevails both in taste and strength: being brought to in just consistence, it may be kept in a Glass for use: and in this form, you may more easily carry it up and down in travelling, than you can Spirit of Salt alone by itself. § 2. It is a most excellent Medicine, having a Balsa∣mick property, renovating the whole Man. It purifies the Blood, comforts the Head, Heart, and Stomach; opens Obstructions of Liver and Spleen; it incides, discusses, mundifies, and resists putre∣faction. § 3. Besides also, it is a more efficacious Diure∣tick, and so specifick an Hy∣dropick, that it admirably expels by the urinary parts, all preternatural Humidities and Wind, and the whole tartarous and viscous matter, from whence the Stone, and Gravel, and the lapidiscent Concretions in the Gout are produced. § 4. Our Author commends it also against the Palsie, the Leprosie, Worms, whether in old or young, Ru∣ptures the English Sweating-sickness Plague, and all man∣ner of Poyson, as a speedy help in time of need. § 5. It may be given in the Dose a∣bove mentioned, in any ap∣propriate or specifick Vehi∣cle: In the Dropsie (Univer∣sals being premised) in Aqua Absinthii, mixt with an equal quantity of Spirit of Eider∣flowers, continuing it daily, till the Dropsie and Tympa∣ny (which will in a little time) vanishes.
