ful to two, or more, increafing the Dofe gradually, 
as you find the Patients Body does agree with it. 
XII. The EJfence. It has all the Virtues ot the 
Juice, and is fomething more prevalent than it, lot 
which reafon it is to be given in a lefftr Dofe, but 
in the fame manner, and in the fame Vehicles, and 
may be given twice a day, as you lee need requires, 
or the Conititntion of Body will bear it. 
XIII. The Deooc/ion or lnfufton. It may be made 
in Arfmort Water, or Parfly Water, in which a 
Scruple or half a Dram of Salt ol Tartar is dillol- 
ved, or in White or Red Port Wine, (according to 
the Intention) or in a mixture of the former Waters 
with thofe Wines, as the Phyfician in Prudence (hall 
direft; they have all the Virtues of the Juice and 
Effence, but mult be given in a much larger Dofe, 
viz. from three Ounces to eight Ounces, according 
to Age, c. 
XIV. The Ponder. It may be givert for all the 
Purpofes that any of the aforegoing Preparations are 
given for. Dofe from half a Dram to a Dram, or 
Dram and half, once or twice a day in any proper 
Vehicle, it does not fo fpeedily pafs off as thofe li- 
quid things do, but commonly lies longer in the Sto- 
mach, and if the Stomach is weak, or foui, will be 
apt fometimes to make it lick; outwardly applied 
to old running Sores, or putrid Ulcers, alfo Ulcers 
of the Kings-Evil, it cleanles them and dries up their 
humidities, and induces them to a fpeedy healing.

and Ulcers, but is chiefly good againlt Tumors and 
Ulcers of the Kings-Evil, lot by anointing them firtt 
therewith Morning and Evening, chafing the Oint- 
ment well in, it infenfibly confumes thofe Kernels 
or Swellings, -and in time perfectly diffolves them -, 
and if you mix therewith Pouders of Scammony and 
Tobacco, ana, and apply it to ltrumous Ulcers, it 
cleanfes, takes away dead or proud Flefh, dries them 
up, and quickly heals them.

berofe Jacinths , the fame is to be underftood of all
