Gums guaiacum and ammoniacum each three

Myrrh and Benjamin, anifeed and liquorice, each 

 two ounces ; 



Balfam of Peru, Tolu, and oil of anifeed, each half 

 an ounce ; 



Barbadoes tar fufEcient to make a mafs, which di- 

 vide into twenty balls.

 of fuccefs from medicine may be juftly en- 

 tertained; if not, farther expence will be 

 ^nadvifable, as it will appear, after fuch 



Q^ trial.
