Ointment for the Small∣pox: If you would prevent Scars, and pitting in the Face, Hands, or any part of the Body, Take a piece of fat rusty Bacon, with the Rind off, and put it on a Spit, set a pewter Platter under it with fair Water, and let the Fat drop into; and when it has dript away as much as is con∣venient, beat the Dripping and the Water together about a quarter of an Hour, and let them stand till they are cold; then pour out the Water, and pass the Fat with mixing through two or three Waters, till all the saltness, and offen∣sive Scent is gone: then wash it in Rose-water, and put it up in a Gallypot; and when you use it, melt it and p••tle it on your Face with a Feather, often so doing till the Scabs and Scurf come clear away, and a delicate smooth Skin ap∣pears under them.
