languages which divers understand not and my desire being to fit my book as near as I can to the title of Vade mecum I will out of the said Authors and mine own practise set down both the vertues and composition of this truly Laudanum And first in all sharp pains whatsoever hot or cold within or without the body yea even when through extremity of pain the parties are at deaths door or almost mad with the vehemency of the same this precious Medicine giveth ease presently yea and quiet sleep and that safely but much better the body being first soluble either by nature or art I mean by suppository or clyster which is better In the Cholick with Mint-water it easeth the griping pains thereof In the pains and gravel of the Kidnies it giveth present ease and likewise in the Plurisie In pains of the joynts it is very good It is good to stay umes as tooth-ache and other like defluxions in the beginnings as namely in the tooth-ache dissolve four grains thereof in Plantine-water and put it into the ear of the aking side and take three grains into the body and lye to rest it is a sure help In all fluxes of the belly whether they proceed of sharp and slippery humors or whatsoever else offending cause taken with Mastick terra sagillata fine bole or with any other appropriate good medicine it is exceeding sure for it fortifieth the other medicine and doubleth their forces adding his own also thereto In extream watchings and want of rest either inwardly or outwardly taken it is profitable if outwardly you would use it take four or six grains with three drops of oyl of Nutmegs made by expression mix them together and binde them in two little clouts and put it into the nostrils it will marvailously asswage pains in the head and cause quiet rest In the extream bleeding of the nose called haemorragis it is an approved secret that sixteen grains thereof divided into two pills and thrust up into the nostrils into each nostrill one part helpeth the same In all kinde of Feavers it is good to be given with water of Wormwood or pill-wise alone and if the heat remain after six hours you may give it the second time and after that again in like time safely not exceeding the dose yet let your own experience lead you that where you see three grains will not cause rest in the next potion you may give one grain more and so encrease paulatim but encrease not but upon good deliberation In burning Feavers it asswageth thirst and provoketh sleep chiefly in those Feavers in which the party seemeth to have some shew of rest with tedious dreams and slumbers mixed In the disease called Asthma and in the Ptisick if it be used in water of hysop it will preserve the diseased Patient a long time It conserveth the naturall heat strengthneth the spirits repaireth strength lost It is also effectuall to be given to melancholy people which are void of reason and are troubled with the passions of the heart It is likewise used with good effect against vomiting and the hickeck proceeding of wind faintness or debility of the ventricle In the superfluous defluxions of the excremental or menstrual blood it is an excellent remedy with crocus martis or red corral In phrensies and madness both inwardly and outwardly it is good mixed with Aqua vitae and the temples anointed therewith In the falling-sickness with Spirit of Vitriol or the quintessence of Camphire with alo oyl of Almond it is usually taken but beware you use not this medicine to any which are feeble through a great cough being oppressed with tough phlegme and shortness of breath for there it is not good The dose is two three or four grains if there be loosness of the belly as is rehearsed it worketh much better It is best given in any occasion accompanied with waters or other medicines which are most appropriate to the diseases and parts diseased and yet may very well be given alone in a Pill which I willingly do for that the Patient then is least troubled with the taste thereof the composition is as followeth ℞

together with the Spirit of wine whereinto they are extract before is to be evaporated from them ere that they be mixed with the rest of the ingredients also the opium and juyce of henbane must be digested in chymical manner for a month at least that thereby their sulphurous venemous and dangerous vapours they have may be well corrected which vapours have a yellowish froth or scum seen in the superficiall parts of them and are very obnoxious and dangerous which I thought not amisse to advise the studious and industrious Chymist of let all the extractions be done in the true spirit of wine well rectified and then the longer the extract remaineth in the digestion the better will by your medicine He that intendeth any part of this composition for women must forbeare the Musk and Ambergreece and use with it rather foure grains of good Caster●um I mean in that one dose he intends to give the women the Faeces of the Opium Henbane species of Amber c. after their tinctures are
