that violent Indirpofition, but continued free from the 
Gout ever after, and lived about fifteen Years in a 
very good State of Health. And this I cannot only

the Pains occaffoned thereby, I have not yet met with 
any better and furer Medicine than this following.

No fooner is a Bandage, or Comprefs, dipp’d into 
this Spirit, applied to the affeded Part, but it will give 
inftant Relief, andfo effedually check the Inflammation, 
that it will creep no farther.- But the Application of 
It muff be continued till the Pain is quite gone, and 
the Ulcus, if there hath been any, is dried up. If 
the Exulceration is got deeper, and the Wound muff: 
be kept open, two Ounces of Camphire dillblved in 
Oleo Hyperich mix’d with a Pound of the common 
Unguentum Cerujfa,^ applied according to Art, will 
quickly and effedually heal it, as I have often ex. 
perienced.
