Virtues. 



This oil cures all boils in the throat. It renders the aid of the 

 Surgeon unnecessary, even in cases, in which it had at first appeared 

 to be indispensable. Even cases which had resisted the utmost 

 skill of the Surgeon, have often yielded to the application of this 

 oil, when such application had been made after mere opening of 

 the boil. In cases of boils inside the throat, it should be drunk 

 by the patient, about a Tea-spoonful at a time, once or twice a day 

 In other cases it may be rubbed over the boil. 



In cases of scrofulous tumours round the neck, the oil should be 

 rubbed over them and they should be fomented with burnt salt.
