Take of benzoin, 3 oz. purified storax, 2 oz. balsam of Tolu, 1 oz. socotrine aloes, ½ oz. rectified spirit of wine, 2 pints. Digest for seven days and filter. The dose is a tea-spoonful in some warm water four times a day, in _consumptions and spitting of blood_. It is useful, also, when applied on lint, to _recent wounds_, and serves the purposes of a scab, but must not be soon removed. TINCTURE OF CATECHU. Take extract of catechu, 3 oz. cinnamon, bruised, 2 oz. diluted alcohol, 2 pints. Digest for seven days, and strain through paper. The cinnamon is a very useful addition to the catechu, not only as it warms the stomach, but likewise as it covers its roughness and astringency. This tincture is of service in all kinds of _defluxions_, _catarrhs_, _looseness_, and other disorders where astringent medicines are indicated. Two or three tea-spoonsful may be taken occasionally. IPECACUAN WINE. Take of the root of ipecacuan, bruised, 2 oz. Spanish white wine, 2 pints. Digest for ten days and strain. This wine is a very mild and safe _emetic_, and nearly equally serviceable in _dysenteries_, with the ipecacuan in substance; this root yielding nearly all its virtues to the Spanish white wine. The common dose is an ounce, more or less, according to the age and strength of the patient. LAVENDER WATER. The common mode of preparing this, is to put three drams of the essential oil of lavender, and a dram of the essence of ambergris, into 1 pint of spirit of wine. SPIRIT OF ROSEMARY. Take of the fresh tops of rosemary, 1½ lb. proof spirit, 1 gallon. Distil off in a water-bath, 5 pints. COMPOUND SPIRIT OF ANISEED. Take of aniseed, angelica-seed, each bruised, ½ lb. proof-spirit, 1 gallon, water, sufficient to prevent a bad taste or flavour. Draw off 1 gallon by distillation. This compound is often employed with advantage, in cases of _flatulent colic_. BLACK PECTORAL LOZENGES. Take of extract of liquorice, gum arabic, each 4 oz. white sugar, 8 oz. Dissolve them in warm water, and strain; then evaporate the mixture over a gentle fire, till it be of a proper consistence for being formed into lozenges, which are to be cut out of any shape. WHITE PECTORAL LOZENGES. Take of fine sugar, 1 lb. gum arabic, 4 oz. starch, 1 oz. flowers of benzoin, ¾ dram. Having beat them all in a powder, make them into a proper mass with rose-water, so as to form lozenges. These compositions are calculated for softening _acrimonious humours_, and allaying the _tickling in the throat_ which provokes coughing. NITRE LOZENGES. Take of nitre, purified, 3 oz. double-refined sugar, 9 oz. Make them into lozenges with mucilage of gum tragacanth.
