recommended for those complaints in the dif- 

 ferent parts of this work. 



OXYMEL OF SQUILLS. 



Take — Clarified honey, three pounds; 

 Vinegar of squills, two pints : 

 Boil them in an iron or tin saucepan, over a 

 slow fire, to the thickness of a syrup. 



This is a most useful article as an expectorant ; 

 and is of great service in asthmas, or chronic 

 coughs, and other affections of the windpipe. 

 It may be given in doses from one to three 

 ounces, together with any of the pectoral drinks, 

 or with a cordial ball, for the above-mentioned 

 complaints. 



HONEY OF ROSES. 



Take — Red rose-buds, freed from the heelSf and hastily 



dried, four ounces : 

 Boiling water, three pints; 

 Clarified honey, five pounds ; 

 Macerate the rose-leaves in the water for six 



hours ; 

 Then mix the honey with the strained liquor, 



and boil to a proper consistence. 



The use of honey of roses in this treatise is 

 chiefly confined to wounds near some tender part, 

 as the eye. See Recipe (No. 73, p. 99).
