ger, Cardamom Seeds, and Aloes Wood, 

 grofsly powdered, of each half an ounce; 

 and about one ounce of each of the follow- 

 ing herbs, viz. frefh Leaves of Rue, El- 

 der, Bramble, and Sage; boil all toge- 

 ther ever a gentle fire, till one quart is 

 waded away ; flrain the liquor off imme- 

 diately through a flrong linen bag, and 

 keep it in an earthen or glafs vefTel clofe 

 flopped. Drink every morning falling, 

 for nine days together, half a pint of this 

 Balfam, by which means you will be able 

 to refill the malignancy of the Atmofphere, 

 though you even vifit infedled perfons. 

 The fame end may be promoted by 

 warning the mouth and noflrils with Vi- 

 negar ; and by holding to the nofe a bit of 

 Camphire, flightly wrapped in muflin ; or 

 by frequently chewing a piece of Gum 

 Myrrh.
