Unguentum Splanchnicum Magistrale. Page 167. in the Latin Book.

The Colledg] Take of the Bark of Capper roots six drachms, Briony roots, orris Florentine, pouder of sweet Fennel seed, Ammoniacum dissolved in Vine∣ger, of each half an ounce, tops of wormwood, Cha∣momel flowers of each a drachm, oyntment of the juyce and flowers of orrenges of each six drachms, oyl of orris and Cappers of each an ounce and an half, the things which ought being poudered and sifted, the rest dilligently mixed in a hot mortar, make it into an Oyntment according to art.

A. There are some that cannot abide Oyntments, yet can easily bear Plaisters; therefore when occasion is given, you may make up the Oyntment in form of a Plaister, by adding a little Wax, Ship Pitch, Cy∣perus, Turpentine.

A. Both these Oyntments are apropriated to the spleen, and ease the pains thereof, the sides being a∣nointed with them. I fancy not the former.
