A right profitable booke for all diseases: called, The pathway to health. Wherein are to be founde most excellent & approued medicines of great vertue: as also notable potions and drinks, and for the distilling of diuers precious waters, and making of oyles, and other comfortable receits for the health of the body, neuer before imprinted. First gathered by Peter Leuens, master of art of Oxford, and student in phisicke and surgery: and now newly corrected and augmented.

To make a precious oyntment, called Deweto.

¶ Take the rasing of Harts-horne 2. pound, of Fenegreke 1. pound, of oyle Oliue 4. pound, sheepes tallow 1. pounde, and 2. ounces of Galbanum. 2. ounces of the gum of Iuie, and two ounces of Perrossen, and bray them together, and doo thereto a portion of white Wine, or of water: and so let it stand 3. dayes, and on the 4. day let it seeth ouer the fire till it waxe thick, then take it off and straine it through a cloth, and put thereto a little hote water for the thicknes, and straine it as harde as you may betwéene your hands, and take the third deale of that licour and put thereto two pounde of oyle Oliue, and let them boyle well, till they be some-what wasted, & put thereto a portion of waxe and of Turmentill, and doo it to the other licour, and let them seeth well till it waxe thick, then doo it off the fire, and let it keele, and then put it in boxes. This oyntment is good for great gréeuaunce of the stone, and for the aking of the ribbes, and all hard greeuaunce: it maketh them nesh, but the partie must bée annoynted against the fire, for this hath been proued.
