THere is in Salt a great vertue, and his secrets are of great force, for if Salt be dissolved in the mighty water of Vi∣triol, together with Mars, and then caused to vomit with great heat, until it remain in a dry powder, and then circulate it with our Quintessence of Wine and Honey the space of a moneth,
the which if the workman can doe, he shall make a miraculous Medicine, which by his vertue and hidden quality, will serve against divers great infirmities, because his nature is to pre∣serve the body in his strength, and to discharge all evil humours that may offend Nature. But to speak of some particular thing, I say, that this glorious Medicine doth help the Fever Hectick when they are new begun, giving there of a little quan∣tity with water of Vervane, Agrimonie, and Betonie; with the water of Fennel and Sclandine, it restoreth the sight unto those that are obscure; it helpeth also the flux of the body, with divers other things, the which I will not utter in this place.
