 fomewhat reddijh \ then take the Crucible off the Fire, 

 and, after 'tis coofd, break it, and beat the Matter to a 

 very fine Powder. Incorporate four Ounces of this Powder 

 with five Ounces of Album Rhafis ; and make an Oint- 

 ment to be applied cold to the Warts, anointing 

 them Sightly every Day, and they will fall off 

 like Kernels of Nuts, without caufing any Swelling 

 in the Legs. But you muft take care to anoint only 

 the Warts, and neither to work nor ride the Horfe

 Warts are fallen off, which will happen in a Month's 

 time, drefs the Sores with the Counteffs Ointment, 

 and in a Month more the Cure will be compleated ;
