The Cure.

Tincture of Tarter, 10 drops, or spirit of Tartar, 20 drops at a time are proper in the case; take 12 grains of Pulvis An∣tepilepticus once in two dayes, and provoke sweat by 10 grains of Bezoar Mineral taken at night, or six grains of pota∣ble silver; bathe the place grie∣ved with an essence of Green Tobacco leaves, made with Malmsey wine, rub and chafe it well in and use it often.

Then anoint with Balsamum Hystericum, or Ʋguentum Martiatum. A cataplasm of the greater Walnut-root is much commended, and often bath∣ing the part with Milk and Oyl.
