Bate.] ℞ Distilled Oyls of Spike, and of Bays, Oyl of Pe∣ter, A. ℥j. Caranna, red San∣ders in Pouder, Oyl of Hyperi∣con ℥iss. liquid Storax ℥iv. Wax ℥ivss. Venice Turpentine ℥viij. Choice Oyl Olive lbiss. boil all for an hour, then add distilled Oyl of Juniper-berries ℥j. Oyl of Cloves ʒj. Oyl of Cinamon ʒss. mix them S. A. It most effectually heals green Wounds whether internal or external, and is profitable a∣gainst all sorts of Burnings, Contusions or Bruises, Pains in the Bones and Nerves. It is good against the Head∣ache, being anointed on the Nostrils and Temples: being applied to the Sides with warm Cloths, it discusses Wind, and eases Pain. It gives ease in the Colick, and Pains of the Feet, being a∣nointed warm thereon, they being first cut or pared to the quick. It stops the Bleed∣ing of the Nose, kills Worms, being internally given, and outwardly applied.

Salmon.] § 1. The Pro∣portions are not exquisite; For what signifies ℥iss. of Oyl of Hypericon to above forty Ounces of the Composition? it may either be left out, or ought to be added in a lar∣ger proportion, as ℥iv. at least. § 2. I dislike the Pre∣paration; for if you put in the distilled Oyls of Spike and Bays, and the Oyl of Peter, before the Boiling, they (by reason of their subtility and volatility) will all boyl away, and so the Medicine will be never the better. My Opinion is, that they ought to be put in at last after the boyling, with the Oyls of Juniper, Cinamon, and Cloves. § 3. At the end of the work, every thing being perfectly dissolved that will dissolve, the whole ought to be strain∣ed; for otherwise you will find some kind of filth or feces, which will diminish the pleasant look of the Bal∣sam.
