To help Mal di Formica.

THose be certain Ulcers which go creeping in the upper part of the flesh, and have many orifices or mouthes, and these are caused of the Pox being inveterated, the which are cured in that order that the Poxe is, and that is this: First, purge the bodie with our Electuario Angelica, the which pur∣geth away grosse and malign humours, and evacuateth the stomack of choler and flegm, this being done, cause the Patient to sweat, for that will assubtiliate the humours, and cause them to come forth, that being done, take our Cerot Ma∣gistrale, and strew thereon Precipitate, and then annoint it with our Magno liquore, and lay it upon the sore, and there let it lye twentie four hours before ye change it, then make it clean, and lay it on again, for that Plaister may serve four daies, making it clean every 24. hours, and when the Plaister will draw no more matter, you shall use our Ʋnguento magno, the which will help it in short time. But if it doe happen that this Order doe not cure them, then it would be necessary for them to be annointed with the Unction for the Pox, and to annoint them so long till the mouth be sore, and when that

sign doth appear, annoint them no more, for he will spit or vapour at the mouth for twelve or fifteen dayes, and as soon as he vapoureth make a Bath and wash him well, and wash the mouth with Wine, and without all doubt it shall help him God willing; now hereafter I will write of certain things which are used of common Chirurgians, with a brief discourse upon them.
