The Woods would be betterboil'd in the Wort, and the tenderIngredients with the Hog-lice onlyhung in the Barrel : but the Quan-tity of Guaiacum is too large, be-caufe it will make it fo hot, as notto be well endured in the Mouth.It is an efficacious Detergent, andwill, by a continued ufe, extend itsinfluences to the remoteft Glands,and by degrees wear away what ob-ftrufts them, and occafions a Lodg-ment of fuch Humours as erodeand deform the Parts. What it aHbabrades and carries into the commonStream, is either exhaled by Tranf-piration, or detach'd off by the Kid-neys, and thrown out by the Blad-der : the former of whick Difchar-ges is promoted moil by the Woods,and the latter by the Millepedes. Sothat in the height of a icorbuticCcnftitution, and the Evil is nomore, this deferves Recommenda-tion, and cannot fail of doingfervice, if duly continued for fometime. It fhould be ufed as com-mon Drink.

This, which is frpm Fuller, differsnot much from the former fromBates 5 and the Guaiacum and Sajfa-fras ought, as in that, to be boil'dwith the Wort,and then ftrain'd j forthey will not give out their Virtues fomuch in the Fermentation. In all cu-taneous Foulneiïès, and even the Le-profy, this is a good and an effeciualCleanfer ; and in old running Ulcerswill much affift in their Cure. Itought to be made a common Drink,and continued fome time, to anfwerin any Intention of moment.

This is an admirable good Pre-fcription, and will do great fervicein all kinds of Cachexies, where theVifcera are foul ; but particularlythofeof the Liver and urinary Paf-fages.
