It is also to be observed, that this Water is by no Means indifferently to be given to all; or to every one in the same Manner; as for Instance, not at all to Women under their menstrual Purgations, least it should provoke them to flow too immoderately; nor is it to be allowed to Women with Child, for Fear of Miscarriage. MOREOVER the _College_ hath appropriated other Medicines for the same Ends, from which we may extract the following: ℞ _Diascordii, vel Mithridatii +ʒ j.+ vel +℥ [ss.]+ fiat dissolutio in +lib.
