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.

Astringent Pills to stop a Running or Go∣norrhea.

℞. Mineral Diaphoretick, seal'd Earth, Amber, Dragon's Blood, prepar'd Coral, binding Extract of Steel, of each half an ounce; red Roses, rinds of Granates, Ma∣stick, Seeds of Meadow Rue, of each three drachms; Salt of Saturn four scruples, Opi∣um one scruple, with a sufficient quantity of Turpentine half boil'd, make them into a Mass.

These Pills absorb and suck into their Pores the viscous saline Humour that gletes from the Vessels, and strengthens their relax'd Fibres. But whereas it of∣ten proves very difficult to stop inveterate runnings, especially where the parts af∣fected have been much impair'd by irre∣gular living, hard riding, or other vio∣lent exercise we must second the Pills with proper Injections, with astringent fomen∣tations on the Perineum, and with dry∣ing Diet-drinks, Tincture of Roses, in

dulcify'd Spirit of Vitriol, &c. These Pills are to be taken twice a day for a considerable time.
