XV. If the Gums are wounded, there is commonly a great flux of Blood; this is stopt with Astrin∣gent Pouders, or with Tincture of Catechu, or Dr. Gardner's Styptick, than which there is no better thing yet known: and the Blood being stopt, the same Styptick which stopt the Blood, commonly performs the Cure.
XVI. If there is a Contusion, the Gums then for the most part Apostemate; then they are to be opened with a Lancet, or Inci∣sion-knife, and emptied of the Matter contained in them: af∣terwards, they are to be cleansed with Mel Rosarum mixed with Oxymel, and Red-Rose Water, and healed with this Gargle or Wash.

XIX. If the Jaw-bone is bro∣ken, or shattred, the pieces are to be taken forth, (if possible, at first Dressing) the broken parts are to be reposited, and the lips of the VVound to be brought as much as may be together; then to be drest with Agglutinative Pouders, and a Dossel dipt in astringent Wine to be laid over: also outwardly may be applied Emplastrum Catagmaticum, which is to be bound on, as the nature and disposition of the Part does require.
