_How to prepare a famous Universal Medicine of Gold._
_Recipe_ three or four Ounces of the coagulated and irreducible Bloud
of the Lion; of which the little Book of Dialogues treats. Dissolve
them, in the dry way, by the help of _Sal-mirabile_, into a Red Stone;
from which reduced to Powder, extract its Tincture, by the help of
Alcolizate Spirit of Wine. This Tincture is a famous _Aurum Potabile_
against many Diseases. Also it coagulates living _Mercury_ into
_Sol_. I purposed to have prepared no small quantity of this _Aurum
Potabile_, that I might therewith help and succour the Distress of the
Diseased. But I was hindred for two years, so as I could not attend
this Operation. Now I have found an easier Method of preparing it, and
by help of that, do hope hereafter I shall do more than I could doe
before. Touching its salutary use in Medicine, and its Coagulation of
_Mercury_, shall (if GOD will) be treated of hereafter, before it be
long. Here the Description of that would be too tedious.
