To create a good Appetite, and strengthen the Stomach, by Dr. Lower.

   Take of the stomatic pill with gums, extractum rudii, of each a

drachm, resin of jalap, half a scruple ; tartar vitriolated one scruple ;

oil of aniseeds, four drops ; mix with syrup of violets, and make

into pills ; of which take four or five nights ; they are of excellent

use in the megrims, and vertigo, by reason they carry the humours

off from the stomach, which fumes up into the head.
