Grafs 30 Pounds: Horfe Radijh Roots cut into' 
thm fhces 6 Pounds . Pair Water 3 Gallons : w- 
fufc Warm for Twenty Four Hours , then draw 
off 3 Gallons of Water. Bate’s Pharm. This ought 
to have a different diflillation from that of Aro- 
maticks: for as Scurvy Grafs, OV. abounds witli 
more Volatile Spirits, and more Volatile Salts, 
fo it admits of lefs Fermentation ; and therefore 
ought to have a proper Menftruum (if ftronger 
than Water, as Perry, Mead, not fowre or 
hard, Sfc.) which may attraft, diffolve, and join 
with the Effential parts of the Ingredients, and 
carry them along with it in Diftillation, without 
changing their Natures and Virtues. It is effen- 
tially good againll the Scurvy, Dropfy, Gout and 
Stone, or any Tartarous Concretions in the Reins 
or Bladder, as alfo againll the Colick, Rheutna- 
tifm, Surfeits and other like general diieafes 
which hardly admit of auy lingular Name or 
Denomination. Dofe one Ounce or more in a 
Glafs of Ale. 
XVII. The Simple Spirit. Take Garden Scurvy 
Grafs as much as you pleafe, which cut or fined 
in pieces, put the fame into a Copper Vefica T inn’ A 
within, and ufftffc thereon Rhenijh, White Port 
While Lisbon, or Madera Wane, fo much as may 
over-top the Ingredients four or five Inches di- 
geft 24 Hours, and diftill through a Serpentine 
or Worm, with a very gentle PUT, that the Spi- 
rituous and Volatile parts may afeend, continuing 
the Diflillation, till the falling Drops are almcjl 
infipid. To this Water put the fame Quantities 
of the Ingredients again in like manner, with 
the former Quantity of Wine, digefi and diftill a- 
gain as aforefaid, repealing this Diflillation with 
frefh Herbs only, fo long til I the Spirit is firong 
enough. This done, reitifie the Spirit in Balneo 
keeping that which is rep/eat with Sulphur and 
Volatile Salt, and afeends Jirfl , a part by it felf. 
Then continue the Diflillation, till the Drops are al- 
mofl infipid, which is alfo a Spirituous Water 
and keep that by its felf. This Spirir, and Water 
have all the Virtues of the former diliilled Wa- 
ter. The Water may be given in the fame Dofe 
in Wine, Ale, or other proper Vehicle; but the 
firft Volatile Spirit is to be given in Drops onlv 
from 20 to ;o, once or twice a day. ’ 
XVIII. Another way to make this Simple spirit 
of Scurvy Graf's. It is made of Garden Scurvy Grafs 
whilli in F lower, fermented, or not fermented 
then diflilTmg it in an Alembick with its Worm- 
that which comes firft, fave by it felf for Spirit': 
what follows is only Scurvy Grafs Water. Some 
make this Simple or plain Spirit thus. Take 
Proof Spirit a fufficicnt quantity , put into it as 
much Scurvy Grafs as it can contain : digefl 3 
or 4 Hours , then dijhl in an Alembick with its 
Worm, faving the firft half or draught for Spirit : 
and what comes after for Scurvy Grafs Water. 
Another way of making Simple Spirir of Scurvy 
Grafs. Take frefh and large Garden Scurvy 
Grafs when in Flower, as much as you ple.je, 
Bruife it- melt in a Mortar , then put it into 
a Wooden Vejfel ; affufe thereon fo much Water 
as may cover it-, add to it 2 or a, handfuls of Salt, 
and a little Left, and let it ferment a day or two, 
and fo diftil it in a Copper Alembick Tinnd 
within, faving the firft running by it fe/f for 
the true Spirit, which you may diftill again from 
freft Scurvy Grafs, faving the firft running as 
before, fo will you have a very jlrong Effential 
Spirir
