This Emplaster de tribus farinis is highly commended in this case; Take of the flower of bitter Vetch, Beans, first steeped in Vinegar and dried, each 2 ounces. when they are powdered, add to them of Oxymel 1 pound. Let them boyl gently to the consistency of pap. And if there be great putre∣faction, add as much flower of lupines, of Salt 1 ounce, aloes, Mastiche, Myrrhe each one ounce and an half, root of round Birthwort powdered 1 ounce, aqua vitae 3 ounces.
