Emplastrum de Minio.

THis Minium-plaster is a good discusser of hot humors, a good swager of pains, mollifieth well, repelleth somewhat, and is very commo∣diously used upon wounds and ulcers, to further good healing: it in∣duceth also a good cicatrice. In the tumour of scr•tum, or rather of the Testicles, called Hernia humoralis, commonly following the sudden stopping of Gonorrae, it is a very convenient anodine and discussing Plaster. This Emplaster likewise is very good to asswage pain, in any case, where safely an anodine Emplaster is required; as namely, in contused or distorted joynts: onely note, that this Emplastrum de Minio is meant of the composition set down by that reverent Master Galle in his Dispensa∣tory, for I make mine according to his description.
