Injeflions The inje6lions firft made ufe of^ fliould 

 '^^°"^" be of a deterfive nature 5 as a decodion 

 ^^^ ^ ' of birthwort, gentian, and centaury : to 

 a quart of which, if two ounces of 

 -^gyptiacum and tindlure of myrrh are 

 added, it may be as proper as any 5 

 and when the difcharge is obferved to 

 abate, and the colour alter to a thick 

 white matter, the injedlion may be 

 changed for barley-water, honey of rofes^ 

 and tinflure of myrrh ; and, finally, 

 to dry up the humidities, and recover 

 the tone of the relaxed glands, Bate's 

 alum water, or a folution of colcothar, 

 vitriol, lapis medicamentofus, or fuch 

 like, in lime-water, will moft probably 

 compleat the cure. Dr. Bracken recom- 

 mends the following : 



TAKE of alum and white vitriol 

 powdered, of each four ounces -, cal- 

 cine them in a crucible ^ when cold, 

 powder the calx, and mix it with 

 a gallon of lime-water, and a quart 

 of vinegar : decant the clear for 

 ufe. ' ^
