The Spirits of Scurvy-

as they are called , a're 
much ufed by feme Coun- 
try-people ; but they are 
not near fo effectual AS

Scurvy- grafs , I mean 
the Volatile Salts, fly a- 
way, and are loft, in pre- 
paring the Spirit ; fo 
that fcarce any thing re- 
mains, but Flegm, and 
,an empty Name, See
