LXII Concerning Extracts IN my Master's Pharmacope●a many Operations seem to differ from these but reduc'd to the form describ'd by him and are of greater value then those that Quercitan and others use not that Qu●rcitan and so many others wanted the best but facile inventis addere he kept an other a more profitable form as appears from these Arcan●'s describ'd by me which are amplify'd by the addition of Operations and Virtues My manner of Extracting Purges from Vegetables according to the aforesaid discipline is thus I Extract the juice from those Plants which I had gather'd before at proper times and I digest in B. and clar●●y very well then I distil by seperating the Spirit and I coagulate what rests into the 〈◊〉 of an Extract Afterwards I beat the press'd Plant and the fresh on not press'd and put them into a sit Vessel to distil by descent such a Vessel as they use to make Oils of Woods having plac'd your Vessel to receive the Oil with a 〈…〉 Fire which must always ●e more vehemently augmented all the hum●●●●y long extracted I convert the rest being burnt into white ashes but lest the ashes should not be calcin'd enough I cal●ine them again Of this with the Water or Spirit that is first separated I make a Lixivium and by siltration a Salt according to use The Oil extracted by descent which exhales an igneous odor I mix with the aforesaid Salt and a litle clear and pure Salt of Tartar being added to the same I digest in a warm place then I distil always cohobating the Spirit upon the foeces till the Oil by the strength of the Salt be destitute of an Empyreuma Then I reduce it into the form of Hony I then add this mellaginous substance to the extract first made whereby all the Spirits of the Extract and faculties of the Salt are united by this means This is the perfectest process that can be found out for Extractions In using 'tis given according to strength of the Compound or the Rules of the Pharmacopoeas yea rather in a less quantity because 't is more Effectual In Herbs Druggs or dry Roots or of litle juice all the strength is extracted with their proper menstruum and the matter is so accommodated as before by descent and an Oil express'd Then is made a Salt which is added to the Oil and being often rectify'd as 't is said is join'd to the Extract but truely those kind of Extracts are to be kept in Glass Vessels stopt All sorts of Extracts may be made after this manner as well Alexipharmic as Specific though they were compounded of divers things but I shall not stay to describe the way for one that is vers'd in the Art needs no Instruction It is to be noted that your Extracts of Vulnerary Herbs as Aristolochia St. John's-wort Comfry Star-wort Veronica Sanicle ground Ivy c. may not only be us'd inwardly but also outwardly in form of Liniments apply'd to wounds by it self or with other like they work wonderful effects for they strengthen and contract and defend the part from corruption and bring it soon to a cicatrice ●o also those Plants which are abstersive and Ulcerative will the better perform their operations Concerning Oil of Vegetables for Spagyric use many spag●ric Volums treat thereof but I esteem this to be the best way Dry the Plant that you will have Oil from and
