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 ...

I. Butyrum Amygdalinum, Al∣mond Butter.

Bate.] ℞ LArge sweet Al∣monds (i. e. Jordan Almonds) lbj. macerate them in cold Water and blanch them bruise them well in a Marble Mortar, sprinkling them often (whilst beating) with a little fair Water. Then add fair Water, q. s. till it grows thick like Cream; strain it hard out by pressing, and put it up∣on a gentle Fire often stirring it, till it begins to boil: then add (that it may coagulate or thicken) Juice of Limons ℥j. suspend it in a good thick Cloth, that there may be a se∣paration of all the servse or thin parts, the Butter remain∣ing behind in the Cloth, which mix with Sugar and Rose-water, till it is of a pleasant Taste. It is a delicate Anodyn; it lenifies or softens, and ma∣turates, and is good against the Gripings of the Guts in Children, for which it is very much commended.

Salmon.] § 1. The Sugar with which the Condiment is made ought to be trebble refined; and the Rose-water ought to be that of Damask Roses.

§ 2. For external Uses, it is a good Maturative, and therefore ought to be mixt with Ripners; and mixt with Turpentine, and the Yolk of an Egg, it makes one of the best Digestives in nature.

§ 3. Inwardly against the Griping of the Guts you may give it from ʒij. ad ʒvj. or more, mixing with it, gut. i. ij. or iij. as you see convenient of the Oil of sweet Fennel-seeds.
