Of wounds in the FEET. i6g 



Digeflive Green Ointment upon that, fee page 82, then heat 

 it well into the bottom of the Wound with a hot iron; and 

 continue the above dreffins: until the Bone is exfoliated clear 

 off the part ; and flop the Foot up with the aforefaid Hot 

 Stopping if occafion be; repeat the drcHings every other day, 

 and if the pain fhould continue great, make ufe of the follow- 

 ing Poultice. 



Take Old Lant made into the confiflence of a Poultice with 

 Wheat Bran and a very little Hogs-lard ; apply the Poultice 

 around the Foot, on a Cloth, and tie it up with a Lift around 

 the Paflern ; repeat the above Poultice once a-day, or as occa- 

 fion may require the ufe of it ; and if a fevere humor fhould 

 attend the Foot, you mufl unfole it, and then proceed as 

 follows. 



The METHOD of UN SO LING the FOOT. 



Firfl pare the Foot underneath with a Butteris; then the 

 pith will appear, between the fole and the hufk as Nature or- 

 dained it : then take a drawing-knife and draw a groove 

 around the Foot, and follow the pith all around from Heel to 

 Heel; obferve to draw the groove quite to the quick, and be 

 fure to loofen the Heel-parts well ; then prefs with your 

 thumb on the groove or drawn-part, then you will find whe- 

 ther it is fufhciently weakened between the hufk and the fole, 

 and if you find the part quite at the quick, tie a Lift tight 

 about the Paflern to flagnate the blood ; then with a fliarp pen- 

 knife divide the fole from the hufk, then prize up the edge of 

 the fole quite around with a prizing-chifel ; then lug the fole 

 off gradually with the affiflance of a pair of pincers; then 

 untie the Liff and let the Foot bleed plentifully ; then drefs 

 the Foot up as follows.
