whereby it is seldom known to work above 2, 3 or 4 hours at most. § 5. That it opens all Obstructions of the Bow∣els, as Lungs, Liver, Spleen, Reins, Womb, Mesentery, and Lacteal Veins: but here is to be noted, That it ought to be given in Obstructions of the Lungs for 12 or 16 days, in such a proportion as it may neither Vomit nor purge, and that in all the Liquor the Sick drinks 5 or 6 times a day: in the other Cases you may give it in the largest proportion that is fit for the Age and Strength of the person. It cures Agues and Feavers of all sorts at 2, 3 or 4 times taking, and I have sometimes cured an A∣gue with it at once taking. It cures almost all Diseases of the Head, as Head-achs, Me∣grims, Frenzy, Madness, Fal∣lingsickness, Apoplexics, Con∣vulsions, Palsies, Lethargies, Vertigo's, and other like Di∣stempers of the Brain. It is a Specifick Remedy for the Cure of most Chronick Di∣stempers, as Quartan Agues, Hypochondriack Melancho∣ly, pains of the Stomach, swel∣lings of the Liver and Spleen, Cachexies, Green-sickness, Stoppage of the Terms, &c. It carries off the impurities of the Stomach, cleanses the Blood, restores it to its course and circulation, cherishes the Vital Spirits, restores the functions of all the Parts, ad∣ding to the Body Strength and Vigor. It perfectly cures the Gout, given in the Pa∣roxism so as it may not work; but after the Fit is over, so that it may work strongly. It cures the Scurvy, Dropsy and and Kings. Evil, as it were to a Miracle; so also the Jaun∣dice, Sciatica, Worms, Rick∣ets in Children, Consumpti∣ons occasioned through ma∣nifold Obstruction, Fits of the Mother, and most other stub∣born Diseases, not to be cured by any other Medicine. It is also eminently good in the Cure of all runing sores, old Ulcers, Fistula's, Pox, &c. in any part of the body, pro∣ceeding from what cause so∣ever. § 6. That the way of exhibiting it, is either as a Diet, whereby the Body is only altered, or with an Inten∣tion to purge. If as a Diet, give 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 or 10 drops
