 four ounces thereof every third day, wherewith to chafe^ 

 rub, and anoint thQ jhonlder^ and the other two days betwixt, 

 you muft not rub and chafe it with any Oyl at all, and at 

 the end of eight or ten days, his Jhoulder will be fwelled 

 down td'the very kpee, then take of the Oyl, and apply a 

 reftringent charge to the place grieved and fwelled, and add 

 ,£0 it of ordinary Turpentine half a pound, to caufe the 

 charge to remain on the better, and tiie next day, and all o- 

 ther days after inftead of this refiringent charge-^ 



Take Vinegar and bathe the (houlder therewith upon the
