A quart of garden-Snailes in the shels, wash them cleane, and breake the slimie skinne at the mouth of the shell, then put them in a cloth, with a handfull of Bay Salt, and hang them up with a dish underneath to receive the Oyle which drops from them. This Oyle being anointed upon the hollow of the necke, and so downe the backe bone, and from the throat downe to the end of the breast bone, cureth a consumption, if taken in time.
