CHAP. V The healing of a greeuous vvound on the side of the head.

THe wound was made, on the side of the head, almost to dura mater: and it was healed in this manner. First there was put into the same, the Quintaessence aforsaid, then a litle balsamo, then there was applied a cloth which was wet in magno licore, made very hote, vpon which cloth, was layd our secret powder, couered with lint, and thus he was dres∣sed, once euery day, till he was whole. You must note, that whensoeuer the scull is hurt, vnto dura mater, there must be cast vp at the nosethrilles, our balsamo: that the smell may pierce vpward, and resolue the offence. Sometime also, in stead of a defensatiue, you may annoint round about the wound, with the foresaid balme; which preserueth from pu∣trifaction, and alteration.
