Distillation of the Womb.

The daily dripping of the Womb is happily Cured with the Cachectick pow∣der. Of like vertue is the Specifick of Iron, (of which above in the Dropsie of the womb) which in the diuturnal Flux, chiefly in the aged (who are some∣times liable to enormous fluxes of this kind) is the only remedy, if Gr. j be daily exhibited in Plantane water or red wine, just before the Patient go to bed.

If any thing of Ulceration be, it must be remedied as is above described in Ulcers of the womb.

Every kind of Flux of the Womb is in time cured, and the womb restored to its pristine state, by Specifick of Iron, (Vitriol of Iron) alwayes exhibited as is prescribed above in the Dropsie of the womb.

Otherwise, in every Flux of the womb, the body must first be throughly purged, chiefly with these, Specificum purgans, Vegetable Panchymagogon, Ex∣tract of Mechoacanna, Rubarb and Sena. I have alwayes with good success used this Powder and Decoction following.
