The Master Medicine of all Medicines, for a Back Sinew-Strain, or any grief, pain, straightness, shrinking, or numness of joynts or sinews.

TAke a fat sucking Mastive whelp, flay it, and bowel it, then stop the body as full as it can hold, with gray Snails, and black Snails; then roast it at a reasonable fire, when it begins to warm, bast it with six ounces of the Oyl of Spike, made yellow with Saffron, and six oun∣ces of the oyl of Wax; Then save the drippings, and what moisture soever falls from it, whilst any drop will fall from the Whelp, and keep it in a Gally-pot.

With this oyntment anoint the strain, and work it in very hot, holding a hot bar of iron before it; And thus do both Morning and Eve∣ning, till the Cure be finished.
