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 ...

Salmon.] § 1. What Vir∣tue there can be in the out∣ward Hulls of Pistaches for this use, I can scarcely tell; in my Judgment, if as much dried Sage, or Winter Cina∣mon prepared, were added in the place thereof, or rather Pimento, the Composition would be much better for the Uses it is intended.

§ 2. It is good to dry up Fluxes of Rheums, stop Ca∣tarrhs,

case the Tooth-ach, help Coughs, expectorate Flegm, and take away the cause of a Rheumatism, be∣ing taken in a Tobacco-pipe, in the same manner as you take Tobacco.
