Oyl of Bays.

The Colledg] Take of Bay-berries ripe, and new gathered, being bruised let them be boyled in water, and pressed in a press; then bruise them again, and boyl them as before, and take away the Oyl that swims at top of the water according to art. It will soon be rank.

Culpeper] A. This is different from their former manner of Extraction, and in my opinion worse: Their former manner was thus:

For the Chollick you may take a few drops inwardly in any Compound apropriated to the Chollick: The Table of diseases will direct you, I love to have 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉: Neg∣ligent

people make wooden Physitians.

The Colledg] Common Oyl of Olives is pressed out of ripe Olives, not out of the stones.

Oyl of Olives Omphacine, is pressed out of unripe Olives.
