or diffolves Gritty Stones in the Reins or Bladder. 
Dofe fixty or eighty drops, in Ale, Beer, or Wine. 
XIX. The Oily Tintture. This is more excellent, 
if there is any Woand or Ulcer in the Reins or 
Bladder ^ for many of thole parts being Nervous ; 
this H'omogene and Oily Body wonderfully com- 
forts the Parts, gently cleanfes them of all Foreign, 
Tartarous, Vifcous, Clammy or Sharp Humors, pal- 
liates the Pain, and in fome fhort time heals them. 
If there be no Wound or Ulcer, but only Obftru- 
Uions, or a weaknels in the Reins and Back, it ef- 
fectually opens them, fmoothly cleanfes them, and 
makes the Patient Pifs free and eafie, and withal fo 
ltrengthens the Back, and eafes the Pains thereof, 
as if there had never been any fuch Weaknels, or 
DifaffeCtion there. Dofe twenty drops in a Glals 
of Wine. 
XX. The Saline Tincture. Being bathed upon 
any parts affected with Pimples, Scurf, Morphew, 
Dandriff, or other like Preternatural Eruptions of the 
Skin, it cleanfes it, and takes them away. I was 
informed by a Gentlewoman who had ufed it for 
fome time, that it had taken away Tawninefs, Sun- 
burnings, and Freckles, and cleared the Skin to ad- 
miration. Inwardly it is given to one dram in White 
Wine againlt Stone, Gravel, Sand, and other Obftru- 
Ctions of the Reins. 
XXI. It is reported, that in former times the 
young Shoots, and tender Stalks, before' they become 
prickly, were pickled up, to be eaten as a Sawce 
for Meat : and that they were wonderfully com- 
mended againlt a ttinking Breath, and to take away 
the fmell of Wine in Inch who had drunk too 
much.
