A Pouder for such as are bruised by a Fall. The Augustan Physitians.
The Colledg] Take of Terra sigillata, e Sanguis Draconis, Mummy, of each two drachms; Sperma Ceti one drachm; Rhubarb half a drachm: beat them into Pouder according to art.
Culpeper] A. You must beat the rest into pouder, and then ad the Sperma Ceti to them afterwards, for if you put the Sperma Ceti and the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 all together, and go to beat them in that fashion, you may as soon beat the Mortar into pouder, as the Simples. Indeed your best way is to beat them severally, and then mix them all together, which being done, makes you a gallant medicine for the infirmity specified in the ti∣tle, a drachm of it being taken in Muskadel, and sweating after it.
