Lémery, Nicolas, 1645-1715.
Against the Stone.
Take two pounds of Sallet Oyl, which you shall distill in an Alembick with Sand, and take three Spoonfuls every day of the Water or Phlegm that flows, in the morning, three hours after Dinner, and at night going to bed, for nine dayes. This Water dissolves the Stone in the Kidneys and Bladder. That which remains in the Alembic is for the Gout, and Contraction of the Nerves, from a cold cause.
