Culpeper, Nicholas
College.] Take of yellow Wax an hundred drams, Turpentine two hundred drams, scales of Copper, Verdigris, round Birthwort, Frankincense, Sal-ammoniac, Ammoniacum, burnt brass of each eight drams, burnt Alum six drams, Aloes, Myrrh, Galbanum, of each an ounce and a half, old Oil one pound, sharp Vinegar so much as is sufficient. Let the metals be dissolved in the sun with the Vinegar, then put in those things that may be melted, last of all the powders, and make them all into an emplaster.
Culpeper.] Galen appropriates it to the head, and ulcers there. I know no reason but why it may as well serve for other parts of the body.
