But a Tincture of Myrrh and Aloes is more efficacious, wherein _Unguentum Ægyptiacum_ is steep'd; or else Lime-Water kept for that purpose, in which have been boil'd two Ounces of Sulphur or Brimstone, with two Drams of _Mercurius Dulcis_; adding four Ounces of Spirit of Wine, to make an excellent _Phegedænick_ Water, with which the Part may be bathed, and the Bolsters soak'd. If the Gangrene passeth to the Bone, the Ulcer must be immediately cleans'd with Brandy, and _Euphorbium_ afterward put into it, laying also some upon the Bolsters, and {114} abstaining from all sorts of Oils and Greases. But if these Remedies prove unprofitable, recourse is then to be had to the Incision-Knife, Fire, or Amputation; the manner of performing which several Operations, is explain'd hereafter. _What are Kibes or Chilblains?_ They are painful Tumours, which are often accompany'd with Inflammation; they happen more especially in the nervous and outward Parts, as the Heel, and are so much the more sensibly felt, as the Air and Cold are more sharp and Vehement. _What is to be done in order to cure these Kibes or Chilblains?_ The Heel or affected Part must be wash'd and dipt in Wine boil'd with Allum and Salt, whereof a Cataplasm may be afterward made, by adding Meal of Rye, Honey, and Brimstone. The Juice of a hot Turnep apply'd with _Unguentum Rosatum_, is also very good, or _Petroleum_ alone. _What is a _Panaritium_?_ _Panaritium_ or _Paronychia_, is a Tumour which generally ariseth in the Extremity of the Fingers, at the Root of the Nails: It is red, and accompany'd with very great Pain, even so exquisite, that the whole Arm is sensible thereof, insomuch that a Fever sometimes ensues, and a Gangrene; the Humour being contain'd between the Bone and the _Periosteum_, or that little Membrane with which it is immediately invested. _What Remedies are convenient for the curing of _Panaritium_?_ {115} Anodyn Cataplasms are to be first apply'd, that is to say, such as serve to asswage excessive Pain, as that which is compos'd of Millk, Line-seeds beaten, large Figs, the Yolk of an Egg, Saffron, Honey and _Oleum Lumbricorum_, with the Crum of white Bread. Afterward you may endeavour to dissolve it, by applying Oil of Almonds, _Saccharum Saturni_, and Ear-Wax, or else Balsam of Sulphur. The Plaister of Mucilages, and that of Sulphur or Brimstone, dissolv'd in Wine, is also a most excellent Resolvent and Anodyn. If it be requisite to bring this Tumour to Suppuration, white Lillies roasted under Embers may be added to the preceeding Cataplasm; or else a new Cataplasm may be made with Sorrel boil'd, fresh Butter, and a little Leaven. _What is a Burn_? A burn is an Impression of Fire made upon a Part, wherein remains a great deal of Heat, with Blisters full of serous Particles, or Scabs, accordingly as the Fire hath taken more or less effect. _What are the Remedies proper for a Burn_?
