not do) in a flat -bottom } d Earthen Pan, and expofe it 

 in the of en Air, to the hottefi Rays of the Sun, remo- 

 ving it always at Night, and in moifl Weather till the 

 Vitriol be reduced to a white Calx. In the mean time 

 you muft ftir it every Day with a Wooden Slice, 

 for touching it with Iron, after the Sun has begun 

 to unlock its Body, weakens its Vertue. When 'tis 

 perfectly white, take it out, 3nd preferve it for 

 the true Powder of Sympathy : Which you are to ftrew 

 upon a Cloth, dipp'd in the Blood of the Wound ; 

 and likewife upon a Cloth dipp'd in the Matter 

 ifluing from the Wound, if there be any, laying 

 the Cloth afterwards in a temperate Place; or 

 in a moift Place, if Suppuration be needful; or 

 in a dry Place, if drying be requifite: And pow- 

 dering the Subftance every Day. If the Depth 

 of the Wound requires Tents, put them in clean 

 and dry, and always when you take 'em out, ftrew 

 this Powder upon 'em. A Linnen- Cloth doubled five 

 or fix times, and dipp'd in the Solution of this Pow- 

 der, and wrap'd about Wrenches and Sinew-Strains, re- 

 newing the Application twice a Day, is oftentimes 

 more effedual than any Waters, Oils, or Ointments ; 

 tho' Sympathy is not the caufe of its Efficacy. 



Though the Powder of Sympathy is a moft effedual 

 Remedy for dangerous Wrenches and Strains in the 

 Hoofs \ yet fome are fo prejudiced, that they will 

 not make ufe of it. Upon which account I fhall 

 fubjoin the Defcription of an Ointment, that pro- 

 motes the Cure of Wounds more in one Day than 

 other Ointments do in a confiderable fpace of time. 



Take the green Leaves of long Birth- 

 ■won, Paul's Betony, and Sage, of each SStaSSJ 

 a Handful and an half', Sanicle, an Wounds. 

 Handful *, Roots of Marfb-mallows and 

 Comfrey dryd in the Shade, of each an Ounce ; flicc 

 the Roots very fmall, and boil y em in a Skillet with a
