The Compleat Surgeon: or, the whole Art of Surgery explain'd in a most familiar Method.
Le Clerc, M. (Charles Gabriel)
Surgery -- Early works to 1800
Take _Colcothar_ or Red Vitriol that remains in the Retort after the Spirit
has been drawn off, Burnt Allom, and Sugar-candy, of each thirty Grains;
the Urine of a Young Person, and Rose-Water, of each half an Ounce; and two
Ounces of Plantain-Water: Let the whole Mixture be stirr'd about for a long
time, and then put into a Vial. But the Liquor must be pour'd off by
Inclination when there shall be occasion to take any for use. {341}
If a Bolster steept in this Water be laid upon an open Artery, and held
close with the Hand, it will soon stop the Blood; a small Tent may be also
soakt in it, and put up into the Nose for the same purpose. If it be taken
inwardly, it stops the spitting of Blood, and the Dysentery or Bloody-Flux;
as also the Hæmorrhoidal and Menstruous Fluxes; the Dose being from half a
Dram to two Drams, in Knot-Grass-Water.
