Syrup of Coral: Take four ounces of red Coral well chosen, beat it into Powder on a porphyry Stone; moisten it with Rose-water, and being dry, put it into a glass Cu∣curbit, and pour on it three pints of the Juice of Bar∣berries well clarified; put the Cucurbit in a Bath of Ashes moderately hot forty hours, stirring the Ingredients from time to time with a wooden Spatula; then filter the Liquor through a brown Paper; weigh it, and return it into a glass Cucurbit set in Balneo Mariae; dissolve in it the double weight of Sugar, and it is excellent in pestilential Distempers.
