An Epileptic Mixture.
Take Lime tree flower and Fennel Waters, each 2 ounces; Syrup of Stechas and of Meconium, each 1 ounce; Spirit of Salt Armoniac 1 scruple, mix, for 2 Doses.
See the Cephalic Draught and Julep. This Prescript was sent me from Leyden, and said to be a Secret of Fred. Deckers, which he highly esteems, and frequently orders. And truly such things as dissipate Flatus's, depurate the Spirits, repress Explosions, and roborate the Nervosum Genus (which are the manifest Intentions of this Remedy) seem rightly contriv'd for the breaking off of a spasmic Paroxysme.
