Wafh the Part in Rain-water, preferved irt April, 
May, June, or July ; keep it in Bottles unftopt, ftanding 
in an Airy Room, or without Doors; walh the Part two 
or three times a day, for 20 or 30 days, if need be. I

two Quarts of River or Rain-water, make it boil, put 
as much Hyjfop into it as the Water will juft cover, and 
let it continue till it boil, ftirring it all the while ; then 
take it off and ftrain it : add to this Liquor as much 
Bread as will make it thick ; to every Quart of which 
put two ounces of refined Sugar, and half a pint of'Ale : 
fpread this on a Linen-cloth, and repeat the application 
every 3 or 4 hours, the oftener the better. The like 
you ought to do in all applications of this nature. 
For frfiamations , Rheums, and Sores in the Eyes.

nen Cloth, and apply it frefh every hour ; do this 3, 4, 
or more days, as you fee occafion : apply this, and. all 
your Pultices Blood-warm, or more, and never bind any 
aggrieved place very hard. »

make it boil, ftirring it all the while ; fpread it on a 
Linen Cloth pretty thick, and apply it warm, every 
2 or 3 hours for two or three days, or more, if occafion
