Of old Ulcers or Wounds.
TO cure an old Ulcer, as Fistula, Gall, or Botch, or any new received wound, these are the best Salves, and most approved in mine experience: Take of Hony half a pinte, of Deer-sewet two ounces, of Verdigrease beaten into powder as much; boil all these exceeding well upon the fire, then with the same luke-warm, tent or plaister any venemous sore, and it will recure it. If you take of Wax, Turpentine, Oyl of Roses, of Hogs-grease, of each like quantity, and half so much Tar as any one of the other simples; melt all these together, and being well incorporated together, either tent or plaister any wound, and it will heal it. Also, if you take the green leaves of Tobacco bruised, and put them into a green wound, they will heal it: the ashes of Tobacco burnt, if they be strewed upon any sore that is neer skinning, it will also skin it perfectly, and it will incarnate well, if the Ul∣cer be not too deep and dangerous. There be many other Salves, Plaisters, and Unguents which I could set down; but since I have experienced these for most effectual, I omit the others as su∣perfluous.
