The Warts are cur'd by binding 'em, if a Ligature be possible, or else they may be consum'd with Causticks, such as the Powder of Savine, or _Aqua-fortis_, by corroding the neighbouring Parts; sometimes they are cut, left to bleed for a while, and bath'd with warm Wine. When the Patient begins to rise, he must be purg'd, his Linnen, Bed, and Chamber being chang'd; and afterward his Strength is to be recruited with good Victuals, and generous Wine. If he were too much weaken'd, let him take Cow's-Milk with _Saccharum Rosatum_. If the Pox were not inveterate, the Fluxing might be excited by the _Panacæa_ alone, without any Frictions: For after the Phlebotomy, {175} Purgations, and Bathings duly administer'd; the Patient might take ten Grains of the _Mercurial Panacæa_ in the Morning, and as many at Night; on the next Day fifteen Grains might be given, and the like quantity at Night; on the third Day twenty Grains might be given both Morning and Evening; on the fourth Day twenty five Grains in the Morning, and as many at Night; and on the fifth Day thirty Grains in the Morning, and the very same quantity in the Evening; continuing thus to augment the Dose, till the Fluxing comes in abundance; and it may be maintain'd by giving every two or every three Days twelve Grains of the _Panacæa_. This Course must be continually follow'd till the Salivation becomes Laudable, and the Symptoms cease. _The manner of making the _Mercurial Panacæa_._ To prepare this _Panacæa_, it is requisite to take _Mercury_ reviv'd from _Cinnabar_, because it is more pure than _Mercury_ which is immediately dug out of the Mine. The _Mercury_ is reviv'd with _Cinnabar_, after this manner: Take a Pound of artificial _Cinnabar_ pulveriz'd, and mingled exactly with three Pounds of unslack'd Lime, in like manner beaten to Powder: Let this Mixture be put into a Retort of Stone, or Glass luted, the third part of which at least remains empty; Let it be plac'd in a reverberating Furnace; and after having fitted a Recipient fill'd with Water, let the whole be left during twenty four Hours at least; then let the Fire be {176} put under it by degrees, and at length let the Heat be very much augmented, whereupon the _Mercury_ will run Drop by Drop into the Recipient: Let the Fire be continu'd till nothing comes forth, and the Operation will be perform'd generally in six or seven Hours: Then pour the Water out of the Recipient, and having wash'd the _Mercury_, to cleanse it from some small quantity of Earth that may stick thereto, let it be dry'd with Cloaths, or else with the Crum of Bread: Thus thirteen Ounces of _Mercury_ may be drawn off from every Pound of artificial Cinnabar.
