a preparation of common oats, recommended by many of the German physicians in all hectic disorders, to be taken with broth of snails or cray fish.—It is made by boiling a large quantity of oats, with the hulk taken off, with some hartshorn shavings, and currants, together with a leg of veal cut to pieces, and with the bones all broken; these are to be set over the fire with a large quantity of water, till the whole is reduced to a sort of jelly; which when strained and cold will be very firm and hard. A few spoonfuls of this are to be taken every morning, diluted with a balon of either of the above mentioned broths, or any other warm liquor.
