℞ Thebian Opium (extracted with the juyce of Limons) lbj. fine Aloes (extracted with fair Water) lbviij. resinous Scam∣mony, Ginger, Liquorice, (all in pouder) a. lbj. mix, and with Oils of Aniseeds, Cloves, Limons, and Sassafras, a. ʒ vj. mix, and make a mass.

It universally eases all Pains: purges indeed less, but strength∣ens the more, and loosens the Belly being bound. The Virtues of this Medicine, to be admi∣red, and never enough to be praised, are manifest; and it is commended for corrobora∣ting the more noble Bowels; but above all, for correcting of corrupt and evil Humors; and its very sweetly purging of the Body, which it does by a very safe and pleasant ope∣ration. It stops thin Catarrhs, and eases the Cough thence proceeding; it induces Sleep, and prevails against tertian and quartan Agues, being given some hours before the Fit. Dose, à ℈ ss, ad ℈ j, aut ʒ ss. at bed-time.
