An Errhine of Elaterium.

Take powder'd Elaterium 4 grains; Langius's Water 1 ounce; Oil of Nutmeg 2 drops; mix.

Dip Cotton into it, and having shaped it fitting, put it up in the Nostrils.

Ludovicus (Pharmac. p.147.) Decocts Euphorbium half a dram in Water half a pint, then strains it out and uses it sparingly, because 'tis corrosive and semi-virulent.
