Distil'd Waters.
TEmperate Distil'd Waters are prepar'd by changing either the Ingredients, or the Menstruum, or both of them to∣gether.
As to the former we proceed after this mnner. Take Leaves of Brook-limes, Garden-cress, Fumitory, Harts-tongue, Liver-wort, Bawm, tops of Tamarisk and of Cypress, of each three handfuls, all the Saunders bruis'd, of each half an Ounce, Roots of sharp pointed Dock, of Polipody of the Oak, of each two Ounces, the outward Coats of four Oranges, Snails cleans'd two Pounds; being slic't and bruis'd, pour to them Whey made with Cider six Pounds; let them be distil'd in a common Still.
2. When the Menstruum is weak, let the Ingredients be mo∣derately hot.
Take Leaves of Scurvy-grass, Brook-limes, Cuckow-flower, Garden-cress, of each three handfuls, Rinds of four Oranges, Snails a Pound: being slic't small, pour to them common Whey, or fresh Milk six Pounds; distill them after the vulgar manner.
3. In a Scorbutick Atrophia, and Consumptive Disposition, where nothing hot, that may stir the Blood and Humours, and Spirits, ought to be admitted, let both the Ingredients and Men∣struum be temperate, and lenifiers of the Blood.
Take Leaves of Brook-limes, Cuckow-flower, Harts-tongue, Maiden∣hair, Liver-wort, Speedwel, Agrimony, of each two handfuls, Snails cleans'd a Pound and a half (or the Pulp of a Capon, or of a Sheeps-heart slic't) all being half boil'd and slic't, pour to them of fresh Milk (or Water of Fumitory) six Pounds; let them be di∣stil'd the common way.
