IMPROVED. 245 



wit, that if they have the Jaundice, it moftly pro- 

 ceeds from a Diminution or Want of Animal-Salts, 

 as I have before hinted ; and not from Schirrhous or 

 hard knotty Tum.ours of the Liver, which is com- 

 mon to Meif who have followed the Trade of Tip- 

 pling top long, and whofe Conftitutions, in fuch 

 Cafe, are almolt paft Help. 



I am fully perfwaded, that Cafiile-Soap diflblvedCaftile- 

 in v.hite Wine, or even in Beer, will care moft^^^PS^-'^ 

 Jaundices or Yellows ; tho' this indeed is from ^■Tavindice 

 fixed vegetable Salt wrapt up in an oily Subfcance. 

 And I have been credibly informed, that half a 

 Drachm of Cafiile-Soap diffolved in a Glafs of White 

 Wine was ( from fome Experiment in Bedford- 

 Houfe ) eileemed a great Secret for provoking Urine 

 in the Jaundice and Dropfy in Human Bodies. 



Thofe, w ho have a Mind to try it upon a Horfe 

 in the Yellows, may mix an Ounce in two Quarts 

 of Beer, and give it at four Times, a Pint a Day, 

 either warm or cold 'tis equal, and let the Horfe 

 have Exercife : For the Jaundice caufes a fluggifti 

 Lazinefs either in Man or Beaft ; therefore Exercife 

 is proper to hinder the Fluids from running into 

 preternatural Cohefions, which was the Occafion of 

 the Diiteniper. 



There is not ^ny Perfon, who has treated more 

 largely and well upon the Jaundice, and Difeafes of 

 the Liver in human Bodies, than my quondam Pr re- 

 ceptor, whom all Europe mull acknowledge one of 

 the Chiefs of his Profelhon, to wit, the learned 

 and truly worthy Herman Boeihaa've, ProfeiTor of 

 Phyfick at the Univerfity of Leyden. 



Lajily, I advife ( for it will anfwer when moft .^th'nps 

 Anti-ifterick Medicines or Medicines againll the^hie-al 

 Jaundice have fail'd, ) the Ufe of ^thiops Mineral f^f'^^^'^ 

 for fome connderable Time. And then I am pretty "^^^^ *''*^* 

 fure it will do, unlefs the Obilruftions be very obfti- 

 nate, and the Liver grov/n hard and horny ; in which 

 Cafe nothing will be able to remove the DKc^^q.
