TAke the tops of Rosemary, and bruising them a little, make them up into a Ball of the bigness of a small Orange, or a large Walnut with the green Husk on. Let the Patient often roll one of these Balls between his hands, and for divers hours in a day grasp one of them in the hand affected, that it may grow hot there, and transmit its Effluvia into the part. Continue this course as long as the Distemper requires.
