AFter having lightly scarify'd the Part affected, apply as hot as the Patient can well bear it, a Cataplasm made of strong Brandy, and the Pith or Crumb of White∣bread, shifting it three or four times a day, or somewhat oftner, if need be.
N. B. Some use Turneps boyl'd, and made Unctuous with a little fresh Hogs-lard to resolve the hard Tumors of Womens Brests.
TAke Marsh-Mallow Roots half an Ounce, Leaves of the same, Mallows, Mullein, of each one handful, Camomile▪Flowers two Pu∣gils: Boyl them in a sufficient quan∣tity of Water to ten Ounces, and dissolve therein Goats-suet 2 Ounces, Yolks of two Eggs, and Oyl of Camomile an Ounce and half: Mix and make a Clyster for easing Pain.
TAke about a quarter of a Pint of Brandy, and having made a Toast of Bread (not too fine and
white) throw it in very hot into the Liquor, and as soon as 'tis thorowly drencht let the Patient take it out, and eat it hot; and this may be repeated, if there be need, two or three times a day.
TAke of Oyl of Nutmegs, and of Wormwood, of each a like quantity, mingle them well, and with the Mixture a little warm'd anoint the Patient's Navil, and the Pit of the Stomach.
TAke six Ounces of Scabious-Water, one spoonful of Mu∣stard, one spoonful of Honey, and one spoonful of Vinegar; grind all these very well together in a Mar∣ble or Glass Mortar, till you have reduc'd them to a liquid Mixture, which is to be used as a Gargle.
TO four Ounces of Plantane-Water add three or four spoonfuls of Red Rose-water, and mix very well with these the White of an Egg beaten to a Glair, or Wa∣ter; sweeten this Mixture with a
small spoonful of white Sugar-candy, or in want of that, as much very fine Loaf-Sugar. Let the Patient Gargle this as often as need re∣quires.
TAke two Ounces of ripe Lau∣rel-Berries, and infuse them for a day in a quart of good White-Wine: Of this let the Patient drink about two or three spoonfuls twice a day for a pretty while together; only once in three days (or there∣abouts) intermitting, that he may take some gentle Purging Medi∣cine.
TAke choice Mastich a sufficient quantity, and having very finely beaten and searc'd it, take about half an Ounce of it at a time in the Yolk of a new-laid Egg, washing it down, if it be thought needful, in any convenient Li∣quor.
TAke Minium or Red-Lead ground fine half a Pound, Oyl of Earth∣worms one Pound, or a sufficient quantity: Boyl them to the con∣sistency of a hard or solid Empla∣ster, without burning: Afterwards
add of Camphire two Ounces, dissolved in Oyl of Earth-worms, so much as may make the Empla∣ster of a just consistency.
TAke Barbadoes Tar, and Palm-Oyl, of each a like quantity, melt them together in no more fire than is needful to make them incor∣porate well; with this Mixture warm, the Part is to be anointed and warily chafed.
TAke Linseed well condition'd, and with a little Water beat them in a Marble or Glass Mortar,
rubbing them very well, that the Medullary part may be separated in some measure from the Husk, and may make the Water conside∣rably white. In this Liquor dip clean Rags, and when they are thorowly wetted, apply them some∣what warm to the Part affected, shifting them if need be once in an hour, or at most in two.
TAke good Spirit of Sal Armoniac, and with a Feather dipt in it moisten gently all the Part, or Parts affected.
TAke of black Soap four Ounces, choice Wood-soot finely sifted about a Dram and half, and add to these about half the Yolk of an Egg: Incorporate them diligently together, and spreading the Mix∣ture somewhat thin, apply it (the cold being first taken off) by way of Cataplasm to the Part affected.
TAke Earth-worms cleans'd, and having fill'd an earthen Pot with them, and luted on a cover very well, set it into an Oven with a batch of Bread, and let it stand there till the Oven be cold. Then take out the Pot, and having re∣mov'd the cover, you will find the Matter turn'd into a gross Liquor ill scented. Strain this with ex∣pression, and keep it stopt for use, which is, to rub therewith the Part affected with a warm hand once or twice a day. N. B. If the smell be offensive, you may put to it a few drops of Oyl of Rhodium, or some other Odoriferous one, to Correct it.
TAke of choice Amber, and of Mastich, both reduc'd to very fine Pouder, and very well mixt, equal parts, and of this Mixture give half a Dram at a time in a proper Vehicle, or in a draught of Chocolate. Continue this for three Weeks, or a Month, if need require, purging the day before you begin to take it, and once every Week afterwards, especially when you leave off the use of the Pouder.
TAke one part of Spirit of Sal Armoniac, and three parts of Spirit of Wine, neither of them too well rectify'd: Shake them to∣gether, (and if you please digest them a while) and having dipt old but clean Linnen Rags in the Mix∣ture, apply them to the Part af∣fected, shifting them now and then, as need shall require.
