2 38 The Cotopteat Horfewan : or, 



each to be dry'd on the Strainer, with its bottom 

 upwards, in the Summer, and referv'd in a Sieve or 

 Skellet, to prevent their growing mouldy. The 

 fame Pouders may be made into Balls with Cordial 

 Waters, which will dry more eafily : But the Mu- 

 cilage of Juniper-berries does mightily enlarge the 

 efficacy of the former. When you ufe thefe Batts % 

 you muft beat 'em to a conrfe Pouder, and exhibit 

 it in Wine, for if you give 'em whole, perhaps 

 they'l be voided as entire as they are took. The 

 JDofe is two Balls. They are very fuccefsfui in inve- 

 terate Coughs •, they promote the expulfion of the 

 Strangles; they excite Urine and infenfible Tran- 

 fpiration *, they roufe the Appetite, and with re- 

 gard to their general vertue in curing moft Difeaf- 

 es, are juftly ftiled Treacle Balls. 



When this Univerfal Vouder or Balls are not to 

 be had, the following Receipt may be us'd with 

 very good fuccefs. Take Bay berries, Gentian, round 

 Birthwort, Myrrh^ Florentine Orris, Shavings of Hart- 

 (horn. Elecampane, of each four Ounces', Zedoary, Cum- 

 min, Aniffeeds and Savin, of each two Ounces', Cinno- 

 mon, half an Ounce \ Cloves, two Drams-, Flowers of 

 Corn-poppies dry'd*, two Ounces. Beat all the Ingredi- 

 ents apart, fearce ? em through a Hair Strainer, mix 

 ? em thoroughly, and keep 'em hard prefs'd in a 

 Leathern Bag ty'd clofe. The Dofe is two Ounces 

 infus'd all Night in Wine. 



The moll ufual Cordial Pouders are made of Liquo* 

 rice, and the Seeds of Coriander^ Anije and Fennel, 

 becaufe thefe Ingredients are to be had at low rates. 

 But they are much inferiour to my Univerfal Cor* 

 dial Pouder or Balls.
