Pemell, Robert.
Heurnius doth much commend this Plaister following, against hardnesse of the Spleene.
Take of Hemlocke foure handfulls, of Ammoniacum halfe a pound; infuse them together eight dayes, adding thereto three or foure ounces of strong Wine Vineger, or more; the Hemlocke also must be bruised. Then having stood eight dayes, dissolve the Gum by boyling it gently, strain it forth, boyle the strained liqour againe, till the moysture be well consumed, then with some Wax and Oyle of sweet Almonds, make a Plaister or Oynt∣ment.
