A Peruvian Mixture.
Take very finely powder'd Peruvian Peel 1 ounce; Alexiterial Milk Water 1 pint; Mint, Cinnamon, Epidemial Waters, and Syurp of Gilly flowers, each 4 ounces; Oil of Nutmeg 4 drops, mix.
This is such a neat and agreeable form of giving the great medicine in Substance, that it seldom goes against any ones Stomach, and very rarely exciteth a Diarrhea, which are two desirable Advantages.
Let a quarter of a pint be advised every 3 or 4 hours, in the absence of the Fit. See the Peruvian Electuary.
