\eyed to all the Parts of the Body. It may be gi- 
ven Morning and Night, four or five Spoonfuls at 
a time, according to Age and Strength : fame ad- 
Vife three Spoonfuls to be given ii^the Morning 
fading in Mead, as much at Ten in the Morning, 
three Spoonfuls at Four in the Afternoon, and lalt- 
ly, as much at going to Bed. This Medicine has 
rcftored (where the Patient has not been palt Lure; 
bevond all ExpeUation. It cutes a Phthilick or Ul- 
ceration of the Lungs, when all other Medicines 
have failed, and the Sick efteemed palt Cute. It 
opens the Bteft and Lungs, frees them from tough 
Fle-'m, cleanfes the Ulcer, and heals it, when all 
other Remedies aU without Effea. 1 have known 
it do Wonders, and fpeak here from a long Experi- 
ence. Perfons in deep Confumpnons, and given o- 
ver by all Phyficians, have by the Ufe of this Syrup 
or Rob been 'ftrangely recovered, and fo pertettly 
reltored as to grow fat again. I commend it as a 
Secret, and it ought to be kept as a Treafure. Thele 
few Lines concerning this Medicament alone are 
worth ten times the Price of the whole Book. 1 
am very confident of it, the deplorable walled Pa- 
tient, who has been long languilhing iipan inveterate 
and tedious Conluniption, or a Phthilis, if they 
make ufe hereof, will give me Thanks for this No- 
tice, whiLlt they may have Reafon enough to Curie 
even the Memories of Quacking Blood-fuckers, If- 
fue-makers, and Blifter-drawers, who, as they may 
have pofiibly drained them of a fair part of their 
Eftate and Treafutes, would, by a Continuance un- 
der their Hands, (for all their fpecious Methods ol 
Cure) have fooll'd them out of their Lives too. 
But here is to be noted, That this Syrup ought 
chiefly or only to be made of the Flowers. 
XII. T be Infufton or DecoSion. They have the 
Virtues of the Juice, ElTence and Syrup, but much 
lels efficacious, and therefore are to he given in a 
larger Dofe. They powerfully open Obftru&ions 
of the Vifcera ; and may be given Dietetically in 
the Cure of Confumptions, Kings-evil, Ulcers, Fi- 
ftula’s, 6SV. 
XIII. The Ointment or Ralfam . The Ointment 
is laid to be one of the belt Remedies for a fcabby 
Head that is : it is alfo good again!! Pimples Ter- 
ms Ringworms, Scurfi, Morphew, or other Scab- 
binefs and Breakings out in any Part of the Body. 
The Balfam is an excellent Vulnerary, curing hm- 
ple Wounds at once or twice dreffing : it alfo di- 
gefts, cleanfes, incarnates, dries and heals old and 
putrid Ulcers, fretting and eating Sores, and fuch 
as proceed from the Kings-evil. 
XIV. The Cataplafm. The Flowers being ltampt 
together with frelh Butter orHogs-Lard, and fo 
made into a Pultife, and applied to any Part afte- 
Ued with the Kings-evil, it has been found by ma- 
nifold Experience to be very available for the Cure 
of that Difeafe. If the Flowers cannot be had, you 
may ufe the Leaves in like manner, ot make them 
into an Ointment with Hogs-Lard and Beef-Suet ; 
this will work the fame, tho’ not altogether fo 
powerfully as that made with the Flowers. 
XV. The difeuffive Cataplafm. Take fox-glove 
flowers, or Leaver, if the f lowers are not to be had, 
a pound. Oat-meal a pint ; bod the Oat-meal f oft in 
a /efficient quantity of running Water, then add the 
fox-glove, and boil to a Confidence. This applied 
warm Morning and Evening to a Contufion in a 
Womans Leg, where the Tumor made it four times 
as big as the found Leg, being alfo in great An- 
guifh, and lull of Pain ; it eafed the Pain, difeuf- 
fed the Tumor, and in a little time did the Cure; 
but afterwards a ftrengthening Cerecloth was ap- 
plied, to perfeU it.
