Water, and (trained, has been fuccefsfully applied 
to a fpreading Gangrene, for which fome extol a 
Decodtion of Fimi Equini in vino vel urina ufed after 
deep Scarification, adding Spirit of Sal-armoniac

Shoes, has been found ufeful in cold Diftempers of 
the Stomach. The Extradt has cured leveral 
Dropfies. I have cured fome of Anafarca’s, by
