Wine lbiv. vel q. s. extract a Tincture, and evaporate, S. A. The Title shews the Vertues. Dose à ℈ss. ad ʒss.
Salmon.] § 1. The best way will be, to draw off the S. V. in B. M. to preserve it, with which you may make an Extraction another time.
§ 2. 'Tis a famous Ague-frighter, seldom or never fai∣ling the Cure at some few Doses taking; though, to speak not only my own Thoughts, but my Experi∣ence also, the Tincture ex∣tracted with a good, strong, and rough Claret-wine, or red Port, is much more po∣werful to the intention it is given for, and more certain∣ly effects the Cure; for 'tis certain, that the S. V. in the abstraction or evaporation carries away many of the volatile Particles of the mixt with it, and such as, circu∣lating with the Blood, con∣vey the power, vertue, and force of Medicament into it.
§ 3. It ought not to be given to such as are apt to be costive, or have hard and dry Bodies, or afflicted with any fly prick Humor, or Scir∣rhous, or Cancerous Tumors; ••or to Women whose Cour∣ses are stopt, or are apt to be troubled with Vapors or Hy∣sterick Fits.
§ 4. And before it is gi∣ven, the Body ought to be well cleansed, if possible both upwards and downwards, lest it lock up into it the morbifick matter, or the malignity of the Distemper, which reverting inwards, immediately smights the Vi∣tals, and puts a period to Life.
§ 5. Above all things, you ought to avoid giving it in any continent or continual Feaver, for in those Distem∣pers it is no better than Poy∣son, and certainly fatal if ac∣companied with any Putre∣faction or Malignity; for, the Pores of the Body being by it constringed, and the other Avenues stopt up, the Poyson of the Disease una∣voidably strikes the Heart, and makes the vital Flame a Sacrifice.
§ 6. You are to vary the Dose according to the kind of the Ague, the age of the Patient, and strength or con∣tumacy of the Distemper; on which considerations you may give it from ℈ss. ad ʒj. yea, in some Constitutions ad ʒiss.
