dnth, 3 drachms ; extract of jalap, 1
drachm ; almond soap, 1 drachm
and a half ; guiacum, 3 drachms ;
tartarised antimony, 8 grains ; oil of
juniper, 4 drops; oil of caraway, 4
drops : oil of rosemary, 4 drops ; form
into a mass with syrup of buckthorn,
and divide into pills.
BARK, Decoction of. — Boil an
ounce of the Peruvian bark, grossly
powdered, in a pint and a half of water,
to one pint, then strain the decoction.
If a teaspoonful of the weak spirits of
vitriol be added to this medicine, it will
render it both more agreeable and
efficacious.
BARK, Compound Decoction

Virginia snake-root, grossly powdered,
each three drachms. Boil in a pint of
water to one half. To the strained
liquor add one ounce and a half of

BARK, Electuary of. — Take of
Peruvian bark, in powder, three ounces ;
cascarilia, half an ounce ; syrup of gin-
ger, enough to make an electuary.
In the cure of obstinate intermitting
fevers, the bark is assisted by the casca-
rilla. In hectic habits, however, it will
be better to leave out the cascarilia, and
put three drachms of crude sal ammo-
niac in its stead.
