Salmon.] You must mix equal parts of Spirit of Alum, and Spirit of Wine together, and so draw them off, till they grow sweet: this mix∣ture also will grow sweet, meerly by digestion in a gen∣tle heat, in length of time, whereby it appears, that this Spirit, (like as unripe and sour Fruit, grows ripe and sweet by length of time, and heat of the Sun, through the power of its internal heat conjoyned); in like man∣ner ripens and looses its Acidity, by vertue of the in∣ternal heat of the Spirit of Wine, conjoyned with it, and stirred up by the exter∣nal heat of a Bath, or Sand. It opens also Obstructions in the Reins and Bladder, and dissolves whatever is lodged there, causing Obstructions. It opens also Obstructions of Liver and Spleen, prevails a∣gainst the Scurvy, or a Scor∣butick habit of Body; cures Continent and Continual Fe∣vers; cures Inflammations; and heals sore Throats and Mouths. Dose à gut. v. ad xx. plus-minus.
