The use of this is indicated, not as the two last, when the Stomach or Blood are primarily affected; but when the Spirits themselves, being either inordinately clustered together, are spasmodically exploded, or being over-prest with heterogenous Combinations, sink under it, and give out; as it happens when vaporous and hysteric Languors, trembling, twitching and convulsive, or comatous Affections, either assault or threaten in Fevers.
Let 5 spoonfuls be taken, thrice or oftner a day, as the occasion shall call for it.
