The Colledg] Take of the seeds or tops of Saint Johns wort, old Turpentine, of each one pound, Li∣tharge six drachms, Aloes, Hepatick, Tutty, of each three drachms; Saffron one ounce, white Wine four pound, old Oyl two pound; The fourth part of the Wine being consumed in a bath, or sand, or in the Sun, in the Dog daies, after the tenth day strain it, and keep the Oyl apart from the Wine.
