Oleum Mandragorae. Page 149. in the Latin Book. Or, Oyl of Mandragues.

The Colledg] Take of common Oyl two pound, Juyce of Mandrake apples, or for want of them, of the leaves, four ounces, Juyce of white Henbane two ounces, Juyce of black Poppy heads three ounces,

Juyce of Violets, and tender Hemlock, of each one ounce; Set them all in the Sun, and after the tenth day, boyl them to the consumption of the Juyce, then put in Opium finely beaten, and Styrax Calamitis dis∣solved in a little Turpentine, of each half an ounce.

Culpeper. A. It is probable the Author studied to invent an Oyl extreamly cold, when he invented this. I am of opinion it may be used safely no way but only to anoint the temples and noses of such as have a frenzy. If by using this Ointment you see they sleep too long, dip a spunge in Viniger, and hold to their noses, it may be a means to awake them. It is scarse safe, yet if you let it alone, it can∣not do you harm.
