A Oleose Mixture.
Take Oil of sweet Almonds (or rather Oil of Walnuts) 2 ounces; Syrup of Marsh Mallows 4 ounces; water of Pellitory of the Wall 6 ounces, Salt Prunel 1 dram, mix.
It lubricates, relaxes, obtunds Acrimony, and moderately promotes Diuresis. Its ever to be observ'd, that in a Nephritic Paroxysme, the greater the Pain is, the less ought Diuretics to be used, and the milder must they be. The reason of which is to be found under the Title of Draught for Gravel, and Diuretic Aromatic Julep. The Dose is 3 or 4 ounces.
