1.2. Medicines Conducing to the First and Second Intention, are prescrib'd according to the Forms following.
TAke Water of Ladies Thistle ten Ounces, of red Poppies three Oun∣ces, Syrup of the same an Ounce, Pearl prepar'd a Dram: Make a Julape, the Dose is six spoonfuls every fourth hour.
Take the Waters of Black-Cherries, Carduus Benedictus, and Baum, of each four Ounces, Powder of a Boars Tusk a Dram, Syrup of Violets ten Drams: Make a Julape, and take it after the same manner.
Take Grass Roots three Ounces, shavings of Ivory and Hartshorn, of each three Drams, Raisins ston'd an Ounce and a half, Licorice two Drams; boil them in three pounds of fountain water to two pounds, to the straining add Syrup of Violets an Ounce, Sal Prunella a Dram: Make an Apozeme, take to three or four Ounces thrice a day.
For the same Intention, viz. that the emptied Vessels may withdraw the matter maintaining the Disease, or may drink up again the Morbifick matter it self, a Purge also is prescrib'd by some: In the Practise of the Ancients, it was a thing in constant use after bleeding, to Order Preparatives and Purgers against this Disease, as well as against most others: And Chymists of late with a greater confidence give Vomits, and cry them up before all other Remedies in a Peripneumonia. Nay further, neglecting bleeding, or forbidding it, they lay the chief stress of their Cure in Antimonial Emeticks, though I know not whether any thing can be imagin'd more pernicious than that their rash proceeding. In rustick and robust Bodies sometimes this Medicine is given without harm, but in tender Constitutions it may be reckon'd little Inferiour to poyson: And as to purging, though it be not proper in the very beginning, but in a manner always does harm, yet the Morbifick matter ceasing to flow to the part, and the effer∣vescence of the Blood being appeas'd, you may empty the Body gently with a Purging Medicine.
Take Gereons Decoction of Sena four Ounces, Syrup of Roses Solu∣lutive and Ounce: Mix them, make a Potion.
Take the best Sena three Drams, whole Cassia, Tamarinds, of each half an Ounce, Coriander-seeds two Drams: Boil them in a suffi∣cient quantity of fountain water, to six Ounces; to the straining add Syrup of Violets an Ounce, Clarifie it with the White of an Egg, and give it.
Let not Purges be given always, nor ever in this Disease with∣out consideration, but Glysters must be given frequently, nay for the most part every day; but let them be only Lenitive and Emollient, so that they gently loosen the Belly without much stirring the Blood and Humours: For this end Milk, or Whey with brown Sugar, or Syrup of Violets often do well. Or,
Take the Leaves of both Mallows, Melilot, and Mercury, of each a handful, Linseed, and sweet Fennel-seeds, of each half an Ounce, sweet Prunes, in number six: Boil them in a sufficient quantity of fountain water to a pound, to which add Syrup of Violets an Ounce, Sugar ten Drams, Sal Prunella a Dram: Make a Glyster.
3. Medicines for the Third Intention, viz. For dissolving the clamminess of the Blood, are usually given in the Form of a Powder, Spirit, Draught, or Bolus according to the Forms fol∣lowing.
