Noon and Night, in a Glafs of Red Port or Barce- 
lona Wine-, or alone, drinking a Glafs of the fame 
Wine alter it, but in a Vehement Cough, the Patient 
mutt be often taking of it, or licking it, even as 
often as the Cough is violent upon them, or trou-

XV. T he Ponder of the Leaves or Fruit. It 
may be given in a Glafs of Red Port or Barcelona 
Wine, or in the former Syrup, either with the Syrup 
alone, or mixt with any of thofe Wines, Morning 
and Night from 2 Scruples to a Dram and halft or 
more, for all the purpofes and Intentions for which 
the Effence , Juices Liquid or lnfpiffate, Decotlion 
or Syrup are given for ; tho’ I do not think it to be 
of equal power with the Juices or Effence. Strewed 
upon bleeding Wounds it Hops their bleeding: and 
put upon old rotten or putrid Seres and Ulcers, it 
deftroys the putridity, cleanfes them, incarnates, 
drys and induces their healing. Put upon a Whit- 
low, or Fellon, which is laid open, it cures them. 
And applyed to the Groyns, Privy parts, and Arm* 
pics which Itink, or are affected with a [linking 
Sweat, it drys them, and takes away the ill 
Smell.

Syrup 8 Ounces-, Ponder of Roch Alum, half an 
Ounce ; mix and diffolve. It is good againll moift, 
running, and fretting Sores and Ulcers in any part 
of the Body; and indeed it has been found by 
experience to cure all Ulcers which are hard and 
difficult to be healed ; it is profitable againll Blains, 
and Wheals and other breakings out in the Skin: 
as alfo to Foment hot withall in the falling dowm 
of the Fundament; it heals Whitlows and Ft! Ions 
on the Fingers ends, and Ulcerated Kibes in Chil- 
drens Feet: it heals all forts of Ulcers in the 
Mouth, Throat, and Private parts: and put into 
the Eyes takes away their Inflamation, Watering 
andSorenefs, and clears the Eye Sight, taking away 
any Cloud ot Film , which is beginning to grow 
over them. 
XVII. Myrtidanum. This Pliny lib. 14. cap. 18. 
lib. 15. cap. 29. & lib. 23. cap. 9. makes to be a 
Myrtle Wine, or Wme of Myrtle Berries-, which 
according to him has almolt all the Virtues aferibed 
to all the former Preparations : It may be made of 
the Leaves as well as of the Fruit, by beating the 
green Leaves in a Wooden Mortar, then adding 
Red Wine in a fufficient quantify, and therewith 
they prefs out the Juice, and fo make a Wine there- 
of by a gentle Fermentation : But new Wine ought 
to be cholen, viz. that which is new preffed from the 
Grape called Muff , and is yet unfermented. If 
it is made, of the Berries only, they ought to be 
thorough ripe: and fo they ought to be if the 
Leaves be joyned with them. 
XVIII. Myrtidanum Apophyas, The Excrefcence 
growing upon the Myrtle. It is often found upon 
old Myrtles. It has all the Virtues of the Myrtle 
and Myrtle Berries ; and is faid to be of greater 
force to dry, bind, Hop Coughs, Bleeding, Flux- 
es, &c. than either the Leaf, Juice, Effence, Lou- 
der, or Berries of the Myrtle: And you may 
make thereof all the aforegoing Preparations, and 
give them in like manner, for all the fame intenti- 
ons and purpofes. 
XIX. The Decoded Oil. It is good to difeufs 
and give eaie to the Hemorrhoids or Piles, being 
anointed thereon; it difeufles alfo Swelling in the 
Tefticles, as alfo Tumors in other parts of the 
Body, and is good to heal Wheals, Boils, Pimples, 
and other breakings out in the Skin, and gives eafe 
to the Gout, and other pains of the Nerves and
