Cache-Control: public, max-age=1024000 Pharmacopoeia Extemporanea: Riverius's Febrifuge Draught

Riverius's Febrifuge Draught.

Take Succory water 3 ounces; Salt of Wormwood half a dram; Spirit of Vitriol 20 drops; or rather as much as is found sufficient to ballance the Salt.

This is a Medicine in no ways despicable for the cure of Vernal Agues. Let it be drank an hour before the Paroxysm, the Patient lying in Bed and endeavouring to Sweat. And let it be repeated likewise before every succeeding Fit, 'till at length the Ague be extinguish'd.
