A Fume for the Head, to be applied to the Ear.

Take a quart or more of White-wine; boile in that a good handful of Camomile Herbs and flowers together, two spoonfuls of Commin seeds bruised a little, then put all this boiled into a stone pot or jug, with a narrow mouth; you may make a cover of paste for it, or of clay, and a hole in it to put a Swans quil therein; through this quil you shall take the Fume so hot as you can suffer it in at your ear; and so long as the liquor doth send any hot breath, which will be about half an hour, then with a warm linnen cloth wipe away the moisture from the Ear, and stop it with wool, dipped in Oyl of bitter Almonds warm: do this in the mornings only, and let the wool abide in the ear till the next morning.
