Salmon.] § 1. Rolfincius Ar∣tis Chimiae, Lib. 3. Sect. 1. Art. 2. Cap. 23. has this pre∣script in a differing propor∣tion, viz. ℞ Venice Treacle ℥v. choice Myrrh, ʒxx. Saf∣fron ℥ss Camphir ʒij. Spirit of Wine ℥xx. by which you may perceive that in this the Myrrh and S. V. are com∣pleatly doubled, and he makes the distillation in a Sand heat, but this in B. M. is much the best, for so the Spirit will have no Empyreuma or smatch of burning. § 2. It has the power of inciding, attenua∣ting, and resisting malignity; by the tenuity and subtily of its substance it immediately penetrates the universal Bo∣dy without any trouble. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 est, malignitatem per sudorem dispellens. It has a place amongst the greatest of Cordials, is good against fainting and swooning Fits, Palpitation of the Heart, the Colick, Wind in the Bowels, and all sorts of burning and malign Feavers, but chiefly against the Contagion of the Plague or Pestilence. § 3. The Dose of it in way of Cure may be ad ʒij. but in way of Prevention ad ℈ij. in generous Wine, or some o∣ther appropriate Liquor; but some Authors allow it to be given to an Ounce in a pro∣per Vehicle. § 4. Charras in his Royal Pharmacopoeia makes a Treacle Spirit after this man∣ner: ℞ Of the best Venice Treacle ℥v. Roots of Angelica, of Master-wort, of Spignel A∣thamantick, and Valerian the greater, A. ℥iij. ʒvj. Seeds of Bishops-weed, and Seseli, A. ʒx. Spirit of Wine rectified lbij. the Roots and Seeds bruised, digest eight days in S. V. then distil in B. M. S. A. This, if you please, you may make camphorated with three drams of Camphire. § 5. It has the Virtues of the former, and powerfully resists and sorts of Poysons, and may be given a ʒj. ad ʒiv. in Canary, or any other Cordial Liquor: Some drops of it being dropt upon the palms of the hands, may be gently rubbed toge∣ther, and then immediately

drawn up the Nostrils a∣gainst the pain of the Head, Megrim, or other Distem∣pers of the Brain, as also ap∣plied to the Temples and Su∣tures of the Skull, and Pit of the Stomach.
