_Recipe_ of common Sulphur, Tartar, and Niter, of each one pound,
pulverise, mix and decrepitate them in a Crucible, kindling them on
the top, otherwise they will fulminate. When decrepitated, melt and
pour out the mixture, reduce it to Powder, and extract thence the
Tincture with Spirit of Wine. Burn away the Spirit of Wine under
the Philosophick Alembick, and what ascends reserve for your use in
Medicine. What remains in the bottom will be sweet and void of all evil
savour, because the Spirit of Wine hath burnt up all the stink. This
Medicine is a most excellent Diaphoretick.
