This Oil mitigates the Pains of the Ears and Hæmorrhoids, cures Scabs and Ring-Worms or Tetters; as also Chaps and Clefts in the Breast, Hands, Feet, and Fundament; and is made use of in Burns, _&c._ * * * * * {338} CHAP. VI. _Of _Collyrium_'s._ _Collyrium's_ are Medicines prepar'd for the Diseases of the Eyes: The following is that of _Lanfrancus_. Take a Pint of White-Wine, three Pints of Plantain-Water, three Pounds of Roses, two Drams of _Orpiment_, one Dram of Verdegrease; Myrrh and Aloes, of each two Scruples. The _Orpiment_, Verdegrease, Myrrh, and Aloes are to be beaten to a fine Powder before they are intermixt with the Liquors. This _Collyrium_ is not only good for the Eyes, but is also of use to make Injections into the Privy-Parts of Men and Women; but before the Injections are made, it ought to be sweeten'd with three or four times the quantity in weight of Rose, Plantain, or Morel-Water. _A dry _Collyrium_._ Take two Drams of Sugar-candy; prepar'd Tutty, Lizard's-Dung, of each one Dram; White Vitriol, Sucotrin Aloes, and _Sal Saturni_, of each half a Dram. Let the whole Composition be reduc'd to a very fine Powder, and mixt together: Two or three Grains of this Powder may be blown at {339} once into the Eye with a small Quill, Pipe of Straw, or Reed, as long as it is necessary; and the same Powder may also be steept in Ophthalmick Waters, to make a liquid _Collyrium_. _A Blue _Collyrium_._ Take a Pint of Water in which unslackt Lime has been quench'd, and a Dram of _Sal Ammoniack_ pulveriz'd; mingle these Ingredients together in a Brass-Bason, and let 'em be infus'd during a whole Night; then filtrate the Liquor and keep it for use. This _Collyrium_ is one of the best Medicines that can be prepar'd for all manner of Diseases of the Eyes. * * * * * CHAP. VII. _Of Powders._ * * * * * _A Powder against Madness or Frenzy._ Take the Leaves of Rue, Vervein, the lesser Sage, Plantain, Polypody, common Wormwood, Mint, Mother-Wort, Balm, Betony, St. _John_'s-Wort, and the lesser Centory; of every one an equal quantity. These Plants must be gather'd in the Month of _June_, during the clear and serene Weather, {340} and ty'd up in Nose-gays, or little Bundles; which are to be wrap'd up in Paper, and hung in the Air to be dry'd in the Shade. Afterward they are to be pounded in a great Brass-Mortar, and the Powder is to be sifted thro' a Silk-Sieve. The Dose of this Powder is from two to three Drams, mingl'd with half a Dram of the Powder of Vipers, in half a Glass of good White-Wine every Morning fasting, for fifty one Days successively. It has an admirable effect, provided the wounded Person be not bit in the Head nor Face, and that the Wound has not been wash'd with Water. * * * * * CHAP. VIII. _Styptick-Water._
