Oyle of Galbanum.

30 Is good against an old Cough, and for such as are Short-winded, and cannot easily draw their breath: this Oyle being taken with Oyle of Myrrhe in a little Wine, is good against Venome, drunken; likewise be∣ing thus taken, it procures womens Naturall sicknesse, and driveth downe the dead Childe, if you make a per∣fume thereof into the Wombe: it is held very good for the rising of the Mother, being laid to the Navell, it settles the Womb that hath beene misplaced; this Oyle is Mollificative, and being mixed with any convenient Vnguent, it draweth forth Thornes, or cold Humours: mix this Oyle with the Root of Angelica, or the Seed, or Roote of Spondilium, and if you touch any Serpent, or Venemous Beast therewith it will die; in fine, it is so opposite to Venome, that the Perfume of it (being burn∣ed) drives away Serpents from the place.
