A Stomachic Julep.
Take Sherry Wine, Barly Cinnamon water, each 4 ounces; waters of Mint, Gentian compound, Wormwood compound, Syrup of Quinces, each 2 ounces; Oil of Cloves, Nutmegs, each 2 drops, mix. Venice Treacle 2 drams, may be added upon occasion.
It incides and removes heavy Slime, and putrilaginous Filth, sticking in the Folds and Villae of the Ventricle, polluting, and loading it, imbues its feeble and flaccid Fibres with volatile oleous Salt, and corroborates them, encourages Spirits to flow in plentifully, and refreshes them; and by so doing, repairs the Tone of the Stomach, restores its natural Heat, recals lost Appetite, helps Concoction, cures Belching, dissipates Wind, takes off Loathing and Vomitting.
Let 3 or 4 ounces be drank half an hour before Dinner, to raise Appetite in a cold Stomach, or immediately after it to help Digestion.
