XII. The Deeoltion or Infufion. This has all the

provided it is given Morning and Night for tome 
conliderable time. Tents may be dipt into the Juice 
or Infufion, and then rouled in this Pouder, and to 
put into any hollow Sore ot Ulcer; by which

Ulcer, incarnates it, and induces a ipeedy Healing, 
vea, altlio’ it be fiftulous, with a Flux of Humors 
appending and abates alio Inflammations, if any

bed of Vulneraries, for it digefts if need be, ablter- 
ges or cleanfes, incarnates, dtys and heals, almolt 
to a Miracle : and in fimple green Wounds or Cuts, 
it has fuch an exquiftte Faculty of fpeedy Healing, 
that it cures it at the firft Intention, confolidating 
the Lips thereof, without the breeding Matter, or

XVI. 'The diftilled Water. Authors fay, that if 
it is taken continually for tvventy Days together, 
that it cures Barrennels in Women, viz. fuch as 
cannot Conceive, or fuch as cannot retain the Con- 
ception. But doubtlefs the liquid Juice or Eflence 
is much better than this, and therefore either of 
them may be given in this as a Vehicle, for which 
it is very proper, and may be given Morning and 
Night, from tour to eight Ounces. 
XVII. The Spirituous TinUurc. Inwardly taken,

to three or four, in the diftilled Water, or in Red 
Wine. 
X VIII. The Acid Tintfure. It has all the V irtues 
of the Spirituous Tindure, but is more Traumatick 
or Vulnerary, and more Stomatick, whereby it ef- 
fectually ftops Vomiting, ftrengthens the Stomach, 
and caufes a good Appetite and a ftrong Digeftion ; 
but it ftops not Fluxes of the Bowels lo well as 
fome of the former Preparations ^ but it therefore 
opens the more, and removes Obftru&ions of Sto- 
mach, Liver, Spleen, and other Bowels. It is a 
moft excellent thing againft a virulent Gonorrhea in 
Men, being taken every Day in all that the Patient 
drinks, whether Ale, Beer, Wine or Water, fo much

Cuts or PunCtuies of the Nerves and Tendons ^ for 
it fuddenly eafes the Pain, and alleviates the Inflam- 
mation, and thereby induces the Cure, a Plaifter of 
the Balfam being alfo laid thereon. Inwardly given, 
it gives Eafe in the Colick, expels Wind •, and o-
