An excellent Pain-eafing, and ripening Poultife, is. 
Flowers of Elder, one Ounce •, Roots of Althas, 
white Lilies, of each two Ounces •, Leaves of Mal- 
lows a Handful ; Powder of Linfeed one Ounce ; 
boil them in Milk or Water to a Pulp *, add to them 
an Onion roalbed under the Afhes, Ointment of 
Bafilicon half an Ounce ; Oil of Lilies enough to 
make a Poultife and apply it. The middle Bark j
