Bate.] ℞ Green Vitriol of Mars, purified by a threefold solution and crystallization, and calcined to yellowness, q. v. dis∣solve it in Spirit of Vinegar, filtrate and crystallize, repeat∣ing this work three times: cal∣cine again to yellowness, and distil by a Retort to driness, with cohobation. Then distil with an open or naked Fire, till all the Spirits are come forth; from the Caput Mort. exposed to the Air, extract the Salt, which depurate by many Solutions, Filtrations, and Cry∣stallizations. ℞ Of this Salt p.j. of the aforesaid Spirit, p.iv. mix, and extract the Tincture, by digesting it a Month, then filter and keep it for use. It expels noxious humours by insensible transpiration, pro∣vokes Lust, strengthens the Womb, putting a stop to its inordinate motions, and in both Sexes it stirs up the power of the Seed for Gene∣ration.

Salmon.] § 1. The deriva∣tion of the word Clyssus is obscure, fortè 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, abluo, lavo, to wash: rectus dicetur 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, ablutio, lotio, ita, ut dignetur actio abluendi Antimonium, vel 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, flu∣ctus, unda, as denoting Vio∣lence, Thundering, and Effer∣vescence, which is heard in the distillation of the vulgar Clyssus. § 2. The vulgar Clys∣sus is threefold, The Lesser, The Mean, and The Greater. The lesser is thus made: ℞ Hungarian Antimony, and Sulphur A. lbj. as Schroder has it. The Mean is thus: ℞ Antimony, Tartar, and Nitre, A. lbij. as Kesler has it under the Title, Liquor Compositus Pneumonicus. The Greater is thus: ℞ Antimony, Tartar, Nitre, Calx of River Pebbles, A. lbj. and some add Sal Ar∣moniack. The method of the process you may see at large in our Pharmacopoeia Lond. lib. 3. cap. 8. sect. 99. in which place are many good Observations concerning the same, with their Virtues, Use, and Dose. § 3. This here is a simple preparation of Vi∣triol, so ••••lled in respect that it contains all the powers of this concret, and ought not to go without its deserved applause. It rectifies the whole mass of Blood, resolves thick and tartarous slime, purifies all the Juyces of the Body, wheresoever placed; it atte∣nuates, incides, and purges

noxious Humors by the E∣munctories, as also by Stool, Urine, and Sweat, § 4. You may exhibit it in Broath, or any Specifick Water, Cepha∣lick, Pectoral, Splenetick, Li∣thontriptick, Arthritick, &c. and may be given à gut. iij. ad viij. or x.
