℞. Choice Rhubarb, Trochisks of Alhan∣dal, Diagrydium, sweet Sublimate, of each one ounce, Venice Turpentine wash'd in its own distill'd Oyl a sufficient quantity to make them into a Mass for Pills.
Tho' these Pills are properly design'd against Venereal Distempers, yet they may be successfully given in the King's E∣vil, and in obstinate Rheumatisms. Mr. Lemery is of opinion, that they would prove more effectual in Venereal Distem∣pers,
if instead of the sweet Sublimate an equal quantity of crude Mercury be put, kill'd, as they call it, in Venice Turpen∣tine; for this reason, that the Pores of the crude Mercury not being satiate as those of the sweet Sublimate are, they would load themselves with a greater quantity of the Venereal Venom, and carry it off either by Stool or Transpiration. They that shall like this reason may use the fol∣lowing Pills.
