 garlic, and at the close of this period, voided a 

 piece of taenia ten metres sixty decimetres long ;

(21) The following are the principal formulae ; 



1. Garlic, or alliaceous wine. Put an ounce 

 of bruised garlics into some good wiue and simple 

 essence of absynthium, let them stand ten hours, 

 strain off the liquor and preserve it for use. 



3. Syrup. Macerate a pound of bruised gar- 

 lics, in two pounds of boiling water for one hour, 

 in a close vessel ; filtre the liquor, and add two 

 pounds of very pure sugar, and make a syrup. 



3. Spirit for external use. Take six ounces 

 of sulphuric ether, an ounce of bruised garlics, and 

 a drachm of grated camphor, mix. This spirit 

 renders more active the liniments, mentioned in 

 no. 15.
