TAke two spoonfuls of oyl of Roses, and as much vir∣gin war as a Nutmeg, melt it together, and make it very warm, then put to it a little saffron finely pounded, then take it off the fire, and stir it till it be almost cold, then put to it a quarter of the yolk of an egge, and stir it, and when it shall be like an oyntment, take the bignesse of a hazel-nut, and melt a drop of it into the ear, and so continue four or five drops, and anoint the Ears round a∣bout, and stuffe it with unwashed wool round about, and keep it warm, this will ripen the Impostume.
