A Bechic Mixture.
Take Syrup of Meconium 1 ounce and half; Fracastorius's Electuary, Mithridate, each 1 dram; Lohoch Sanans 2 drams; Penny- royal Water 4 ounces, mix.
Its a great Remedy against such a Cough as proceeds from catching Cold, whilst its recent, and a thin Rheum distils out of the Glands. For it incrassates, obtunds, lubricates; and it pacifies the fury of the Spirits, takes off the irritation of the Fibres, and advances Diaphoresis. Let it be taken at one Draught at Bed-time.
