XIV. The Oil by Exprejh'on. It diftzufles any
cold Tumor, and cafes pains proceeding from a cold
Caufe, being anointedupon the part warm, and
well rubbed in. It is oi’good ufe to make Soap
withal, inilead of Oil Olive, and much exceeds-
Train or Whale Oil for that purpoliz -, and where
Butter. and other Oil are wanting, it may ferve to
ry wrth.
XV. The Errhine. It is made of the Seed b
grinding it with fair Water, in a Boul, with a Bu -
let, then Itraining the thin or liquid part from the
grofs: this 1i uid part being fomerimes fnul‘ft up
the Noihils, o as it may come out again at the
Mouth, purges the Head and Brain eflhtlually, by
the Nolirils, of cold, moiit and mucilaginous Hu-'
mots, and by that means prevails againi’r vehement
and inveterate Head-achs, proceeding from a cold
caufe, Vertigo’s, Lerhargies, Cams, Apoplexy, Epi-‘
lephe, Convuliions, Pallie, and other like Diilem<
pets of the Brain and Nerves. And I have known
by often tiling of it, in fome who have been Dim
lighted, or almoil Blind, and in others who have
had a conlhnr flux of Rheum into their Eyes, for
fome conliderable time, that it has cleared the light,
diverted the ‘Rhcum, and Ilrengthcned the Eyes fo
admirably, as if they had never ailed any thing at:
XVI. The Same. It is made as Muiicard, and
1b to bevufcd : it lirengthens the Stomach, fharpens
the Appetite, and caufes a good Digeition ': but it
is nothing near fo pleafanr as Muiiard : applied
immediately upon a Contufion where the skin is
not broken, it dii‘cufl‘es the Tumor, and prevents
the aiiiux of Humors to the part.
XVII. The Spirit. It is admirable againil: the
Scurv in a cold habit of Body -, it excites the Ani.
mal pirirs, and caufes livelinel‘s and cheerfulnefs
in fuch as are Sleepy, Drowfte and Lethargick:
and is indeed an excellent thing for fuch coniiantly
to take of, who are Paralytick, or troubled with
numbednefs, tremblings, and other weakneffes of the
Nerves, more ef' ecially, if it is alfp bathed down
alon the Back- one, and parts afiefted, Morning
and ‘vcning, and alfo taken from one dram to two
drams, or more, Morning, Noon, and Night, ’in
fome convenient Antiparalytick, and Antifcorburtck
ehicle
XVIII. The Spiritou: Tint'lure. It has the Vii-1
tues oh the Spirit, and in fome cafes more eliec‘lual,
being more Stomarick than that is, and being ba-
thed upon any art alliiEied with a cold Tumoror
Swelling, or wtrh cold and moili Humorsmr With
Rheumatick Pains proceeding from cold, it warms
and comforts the Part, difcuiTes the Rumors, and
miss the Pain: mixed with White Wine, and ufcd

as atiErrhine, it purges the Hold and Brain of Cold

XIX. The Oily Tinlfui‘e. It is ufcd chiefly ouf‘
Wardly, in Gouts from a cold cauie, in which it
gives admirable cafe. [is alib in Numbne-fs, 1‘ retn‘
bling ofthc Limbs, and Follies, in all Wthll caies,
