 rub them gently between your hands until 

 the musk seems to be in a soft state ; then 

 cut a hole in the large end of the sac and 

 press out its substance. To get the oil from 

 the oil stone, cut the small end off and 

 squeeze the stone. 



The baits of the beaver are made as fol-

Take the castor sacs of one beaver, add 

 twenty drops of oil of cinnamon, ten drops 

 of oil of anise and enough urine of the 

 beaver to make the bait of about the consist- 

 ency of mush. 



Take the castor sacs of one beaver, add 

 seven drops of the oil of sassafras, seven 

 drops of the oil of anise, and ten drops of the 

 oil from the oil stone. 



Take the castor sacs of one beaver, add 

 ten drops Jamaica rum, one drop of oil of 

 anise, one drop oil of cloves, one drop oil of 

 sassafras, and two drops of oil of rhodium.
