Medicaments made of Milk, in Summer every day, in Winter, must be renewed every other day, for it will grow sharp and cause pains. Milk hath a hot spirit in it, and will make one drunk. Scal. ex. 87. saith that the Tartars use the thin part of Milk se∣parated by subliming, to make them∣selves drunk; for all fat things afford spirits for Chymists, and oyls differ from spirits scarce any thing but in the man∣ner of their substance.
