_Citrons_, or _Baum_; but when Matters are in the utmost Hazard, the
Patient’s Life is more to be consulted than his Palate; and all _Sugars_
we often omit, as they are both a Load upon the Medicin’s Operation, and
in no wise fit for a Stomach affected with a Contagion. The Dose of this
Decoction is from 8 to 10 Spoonfuls every 4 Hours.
