For a Canker in the Mouth.

TAke rusty Bacon, wheaten Bran, and the Roots of a Vine, and seeth all these together in Brine, wherein Flesh hath been laid to Salt, and let the hot Vapor thereof ascend to the sore place through an instrument like a Funnel, made of Wood, and this done, wash this sore place with this Water following. Take the inner Bark of the Roots of black Thorn, and seeth it in a Pint of white Wine Vineger, and a Pint of Wa∣ter; of the Bark twelve Ounces, of Roch Alum two Ounces, seeth these together in a stone Cruse, in a Kettle of water closely stopped, till half be wasted, then strain them, and put of this Liquor into the Sore. This helped a child of twelve years old, that the Canker had eaten through the Roof of his Mouth, into his Nose: But if the Canker be not very corrosive, take Wood∣bine, Sage, Lavender, Rosemary and Salendine, and seeth these in running water, and white Wine, till half be wasted, and then strain them,

and put to this stained Liquor, a little Alum, and Myrrhe, Honey, and Sarcacoll, when these be a little sodden, then strain them again, and rub thy Mouth therewith often in a day.
