CHAP. VII. Of Poultisses.

1. Poultisses are vulgarly called Cataplasmes, which is as much as to say a thick Poultess made of Meal and Herbs, which is a very excellent Me∣dicine to ripen and break Sores, ease Pains, cool hot Inflammations, dis∣solve hardness, ease the Spleen, disperse Swellings, and digest Humors.

2. When you are to make them, you are to take those Roots and Herbs as are most proper and suitable to the Disease and Member afflicted, chop∣ping them first small, then put them into clear running Water, and boyl them to a Gelly, then add to them a little Meal of Lupins, (or for want of that Barley-Meal,) with a little Sallet Oyl, or rough sweet Suet, which I account better; Then spread it upon a Linnen Cloth, and apply it to the grieved part, bound fast with a Tape or Pack thread that it fall not off.
