The Drink, or as the Farriers call it, this Drench, Camphire 

 is well contrived, and the Camphire makes it a very ^ Diapho- 

 powerful Diaphoretick or Promoter of Sweat ; for 

 it is the moft efficacious of that Kind yet known in 

 the whole Materia Medica^ its great Subtility dif- 

 fufmg. it through the very Subftance of the Parts, 

 as foon almoft as the Warmth of the Stomach fets 

 it in Motion : But its greateft Heat requires plenti-
