to_o be_v meet_v with_o even_o in_o the_o mild_a of_o the_o common_a cathartic_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v of_o great_a use_n in_o fever_n neither_o disturb_v the_o juice_n nor_o accend_v the_o

such_o as_o i_o judge_v to_o proceed_v from_o a_o scorbutic_n or_o venereal_a cause_n as_o for_o those_o which_o be_v wont_a to_o accompany_v a_o pthisis_n i_o have_v have_v no_o experience_n of_o it_o in_o they_o yet_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o even_o in_o those_o it_o will_v allay_v the_o preternatural_a heat_n but_o that_o this_o medicine_n may_v be_v give_v to_o the_o best_a advantage_n it_o be_v necessary_a in_o the_o administer_a it_o to_o have_v regard_n to_o two_o special_a intention_n which_o physician_n be_v wont_a to_o observe_v in_o the_o cure_n disease_n viz._n 1._o the_o purge_v the_o first_o passage_n the_o stomach_n and_o intestine_n of_o gross_a excrement_n and_o filth_n 2._o to_o open_v and_o dissolve_v all_o stagnant_a and_o obstruct_v matter_n in_o the_o viscera_n as_o the_o pancreas_n mesentery_n liver_n spleen_n reins_o and_o womb_n and_o to_o correct_v and_o purify_v the_o blood_n when_o it_o decllnes_n from_o its_o natural_a crasis_n the_o ordinary_a do_v of_o this_o salt_n to_o purge_v according_a to_o the_o first_o intention_n which_o only_o be_v purge_v according_a to_o common_a acceptation_n be_v from_o half_a a_o ounce_n to_o six_o dram_fw-la

neither_o will_v a_o draught_n of_o ale_n or_o a_o dish_n of_o tea_n at_o all_o hinder_a but_o promote_v the_o work_n of_o it_o those_o who_o like_v neither_o posset-drink_a whey_n or_o water_n or_o want_v the_o conveniency_n of_o get_v they_o may_v take_v it_o in_o ale_n and_o it_o will_v do_v well_o enough_o although_o in_o some_o few_o person_n i_o have_v know_v it_o cause_n a_o drowsiness_n

inconsiderable_a as_o be_v well_o know_v to_o physician_n this_o medicine_n do_v not_o only_o gentle_o dissolve_v and_o expurge_v the_o excrement_n of_o the_o stomach_n and_o gut_n but_o it_o also_o correct_v the_o violence_n of_o all_o preternatural_a purge_n if_o you_o put_v but_o two_o dram_fw-la of_o it_o in_o their_o infusion_n or_o drink_v the_o same_o quantity_n in_o a_o draught_n of_o
