pure Frankincense one ounce: bring them

Unguentum Enulatum cum Mercurio. 
Or, Ointment of Elecampane with Quick- 
silver, 
College.| Is made of the former oint- 
ment, by adding two ounces of Quick-silver, 
killed by continual stirring, not only with 
spittle, or juice of Lemons, but with all the 
Turpentine kept for that intent, and part of 
the grease, in a stone mortar. 
Culpeper.| My opinion of this ointment, 
_ is (briefly) this: It was invented for the 
itch, without quick-silver it will do no good, 
with quick-silver it may do harm.

into an ointment according to art, in a pes- 
tle and mortar made of Lead. 
Culpeper.] This ointment is as drying as 
a man shall usually read of one, and withal 
cooling, therefore good for sores, and such 
as are troubled with defluctions.

tion of the juice, adding towards the end, 
round Birthwort roots in powder, two 
ounces, new Wax as much as is sufficient 
to make it into an ointment according to 
art. 
Culpeper.| It would take a whole sum- 
mer’s day to write the particular virtues of 
this ointment, and my poor Genius is too 
weak to give it the hundredth part of its due 
praise: It cures tumours, imposthumes, 
wounds, ulcers, gun-shot, stinging with net- 
tles, bees, wasps, hornets, venomous beasts, 
wounds made with poisoned arrows, &c.
