An Asthmatic Mixture.
Take erratic Poppy Water 9 ounces; Oxymel of Squills 3 ounces, mix.
In this Disease, for the most part the Blood boils vehemently, the Bronchia are clam'd up with Phlegm, and the Fibres spasmodically constringed.
Upon all which accounts this is a direct Remedy. Let 4 ounces be given twice a Day, in the time of the Paroxysme.
