Draughts are only little Juleps, with more pow- 

 erful Ingredients added to them. An Ounce and 

 half of a Simple Water, three Drams of a ftrong 

 Water, one Dram of a Syrup, and forty Drops 

 of a Tindure, makes a Draught; but to thefe 

 may be added a Simple of fome Power to in-. 

 creafe the Virtue. What Waters, Tindures, Sy- 

 rups or Powders Ihall be ufed, will be deter- 

 mined, from the Cafe itfelf. 



Bokifcs are made with thefe Powders in a 

 certain Dofe. A Scruple or half a Dram, is 

 made into a fort of Pafte with Syrnip. • The 

 Cuftom is to cover it with a .little Leaf-Gold, 

 but this is better let alone : Some ufe Leaf-Brafs 

 which is abominable.

This is the Form moft convenient for Med 

 that are to be taken for a Continuance of Time

 together an Ounce of Conferve of Red Rofes, and 

 fix Drams of Syrup of Cloves, add to thefe t\\ o 

 Drams of powdered Biftort Root, one Dram of 

 powdered Tormentill, and half a Dram of toafted 

 Rhubarb. This makes an Eleftuary, a Piece of 

 which, of the Bignefs of a Nutmeg, taken once in
