A Certaine man, hauing a number of so••es, all ouer his bodie, & a serpigo in the palme of his ••••nd, so grieuous,
that a man might haue layd great strawes therein, was hea∣led in this manner. First he was purged three times, with six graines of Turpetum minerale Phaedronis, mixed with halfe a dramme of Amuletum Palmarij. That done, he annointed all his sores twise or thrife, with oleum Tartari foetens: after∣ward with vnguentum ex Lithargirio Fiorauante. Now tou∣ching his handes, which had the serpigo, he held them mor∣ning & euening, ouer a bath of otes, or other warme herbes, that they might sweat: and then annointed them, with bal∣samum sulfuris, and in short time they were holpen. An vn∣guent made with saccarum Saturni and oyle of roses, will do the like effect.
