PIMPLE, in medicine, a small pustule arising on the face. By mixing equal quantities of the juice of house-leek, sedum minus, passed through paper, and of spirit of wine rectified by itself, a white coagulum of a very volatile nature is formed, which Dr Bughart recommends for curing pimples of the face; and says, that the thin liquor separated from it with sugar-candy is an excellent remedy for thick viscous phlegm in the breast.
