Salmon.] § 1. There is scarcely a better Remedy a∣gainst that Disease which in the West-Indies they call the Dry Cholick: They Purge Tartarous Humours, not on∣ly from the Bowels, but the Joynts, and therefore are good against the Gout and Rheu∣matism.

§ 2. After twice or thrice purging with them as they are here prescribed, it will be best then to add to each Dose gr. jss. or ij. of Extract of Opium, and so give the Dose over Night; so will the Patient rest with a World of quietness and pleasure, or sweetness, and the next day in the Afternoon have three or four Stools, without any

kind of Griping, which will carry off the Morbifick mat∣ter of the Disease almost to a wonder; and by that you have taken them six or seven times, will give me hearty Thanks for these my Di∣rections.
