104 -d? Treatise on 
The compound refolving Powder of Stahl. 
Take of the refolving Powder, made of equal 
Parts of Shells prepared without Fire, dia- 
phoretick Antimony and depurated Nitre, §ifs. 
Extradt of Cafcaril made with Water ^fs. Mix 
and make a Powder. 
The Powder of Cafcaril with the balfamick Pills 
is likewife commended in the inflammatory Fever 
of the Inteftines which arifes from the Mefentery, 
or dyfenterick Aflfedtions.] 
J. Junker , a Phyflcian of Halle , in his Confpec- 
tus fherapeite generalise fays, that the Virtue of 
Cafcaril, fo much extolled by Apinus in malig- 
nant and contagious Fevers, anfwers not the Ex- 
peditions of the Phyflcian. He allures us that he 
has given it to greater Advantage in intermitting 
Fevers, which it often cures fuccefsfully when mix- 
ed with other fuitable Medicines ; and that herein 
it is fometimes preferable to the Peruvian Bark, 
which being powerfully aftringent, may be preju- 
dicial in many Cafes, if not given with Caution. 
We fhall here take the Liberty to obferve in 
palling, that the fpotted Fevers, in which Apinus 
gave this Bark with fo much Succefs, though ma- 
lignant, were yet of the Tribe of Intermittents, 
as Tertians, double Tertians, &c. which, we have 
obferved after MGrton , this Bark fpecificially cures, 
provided it be not given too late. Wherefore 
thofe malignant Fevers in which it is proper, are 
carefully to be difbinguiflied from thofe wherein it 
is ufelefs. Now we conclude from the Obfervations 
of Apinus and Junker , that it is proper in all in- 
termitting Fevers, whether malignant or not, but 
rarely in other continual malignant and contagious 
Fevers,
