Pharmacopœia Bateana, or, Bate's dispensatory translated from the second edition of the Latin copy, published by Mr. James Shipton : containing his choice and select recipe's, their names, compositions, preparations, vertues, uses, and doses, as they are applicable to the whole practice of physick and chyrurgery : the Arcana Goddardiana, and their recipe's intersperst in their proper places, which are almost all wanting in the Latin copy : compleated with above five hundred chymical processes, and their explications at large, various observations thereon, and a rationale upon each process : to which are added in this English edition, Goddard's drops, Russel's pouder [sic], and the Emplastrum febrifugum, those so much fam'd in the world : as also several other preparations from the Collectanea chymica, and other good authors / by William Salmon ...

IV. * Fotus Arthriticus, A Fomentation for the Gout.

Bate.] ℞ Sage, Rosemary, Camomile, Mugwort, Hyperi∣con, common Wormwood, A. M. vj. Bay Salt, M. iij. Wa∣ter three Gallons; boil to two Gallons, then strain out for a Fomentation.

Salmon.] § 1. You are to bath with it as hot as it can be endured, and the Gouty part ought (if it can conve∣niently be) to lie in it for some time.

§ 2. You may repeat it three or four times a day or oftner, as need requires: it infallibly gives ease; but sometimes is apt to send the Gout into the Stomach, and then the Remedy is worse than the Disease, for it may chance to kill the Patient.

§ 3. Preparatives and U∣niversals therefore ought to be given before-hand, that the Morbifick matter may be either evacuated in part, or the Stomach defended by proper Antidotes, which may have power to resist the as∣saulting Disease.
