Note 73 — Chapter XIII
Reading edition
Quinsey. First bleed, and purge with Dincassia, after vomit with Vinum Antimonii; rub the tongue with the juyce of Crabfish and Housleek, taking a little inwardly; ... ashes of burnt Crabs, of Swallows, and Tincture of Corals, are excellent in the bastard Quinsey; the ashes of an owl (feathers and all) blown into the throat, opens and breaks the Imposthume wonderfully.—Compendium of Physick (Salmon), London, 1671.
