Oyl of Juniper Berries.

The Colledg] Take of fresh Juniper berries fifty pound, bruise them and part them in a wooden Vessel, with twenty four pound of spring water, sharp leaven one pound, keep them in a Cellar three months, the vessel being close stopped, then distill them in an Allem∣bick, with a sufficient quantity of Simple water, after the Oyl is separated, keep the water for a new distil∣lation.

After the same manner is made Oyl of Bay berries, Ivy berries &c.

Or you may draw Oyl from the aforenamed berries bruised and steeped twenty four hours in warm wa∣ter, adding six pound of water, or if the berries be ve∣ry dry, ten pound of water to each pound of berries, and stilling them as before.

Culpeper] A. Oyl of Juniper berries, prevails wonderfully in pains of the yard, and running of the reins, the falling sickness, it is a mighty preservative against the pestilence, and all evil airs, it purgeth the reins, provokes urine, breaks the stone, helps the drop∣sie: the quantity to be taken at a time in any conve∣nient liquor, is three or four drops; outwardly by unction it helps the gout; two or three drops dropped upon the navil helps the Chollick.

A. Oyl of Bay berries helps the Chollick and Il∣liack passion.

A. Oyl of Ivy berries helps cold 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the joynts, the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 one, and provokes the terms 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉. Use them as Juniper Oyl.
