Pharmacopoeia Lemeriana contracta Lemery's Universal pharmacopoeia abridg'd, in a collection of recepe's and observations compar'd with the London and with Bates's dispensatories, and also with Charas's Royal pharmacy : to which are added some remedies recommended by the members of the French Royal Academy of Science, most collected out of the history of that society lately published by John Baptista du Hamel.

Mynsichi's Hydragogue Pills reform'd.

℞. Mineral Turbith half an ounce, Tro∣chisks of Alhandal, roots of black Hellebore, of each three drachms; choice Rhubarb and Elaterium, of each two drachms; Saffron of Metals prepar'd with Salt of Wormwood one drachm, Spirit of Vitriol dulcify'd half a drachm; mix and make them into a Mass with Syrup of Buckthorn.

This Pill purges and vomits with some violence; it is given in Dropsies, Mania's, the Pox, Scurvy, and King's Evil, and other like obstinate Distempers, from

half a scruple to half a drachm. The Crocus Metallorum calcin'd, with an e∣qual weight of Salt of Wormwood, and often wash'd with warm Water, is less vomitive than the common, because the fix'd alkaline Salt has destroy'd some of its irritating points. This preparation of Antimony often purges and causes sweat; it is given to eight grains.
