_A Medicine to break and heale sore breasts
of Women, used by Mid-wives, and
other skillfull Women in_
London.

Boyle _Oatmeale,_, of the smallest you can get, and red _Sage_ together,
in running or Conduict water, till it be thick enough to make
a Plaister and then put into it a fit proportion of _Honey_, and let it
boyle a little together, take it off the fire, and while it is yet boyling
hot, put thereto so much of the best _Venice Terpentine_ as will
make it thick enough to spread, then spreading it on some soft
leather, or a good thick linnen cloath, apply it to the brest, and
it will first break the soare; and after that being continued, will
also heale it up.


_A Medicine that hath recovered some from
the Dropsie whome the Physitian
hath given over_.

Take green _Broome_ and burne it in some clean place, that you
may save the ashes of it, take some ten or twelve spoonfulls of the
same Ashes, and boyle them in a pint of _White_ wine till the vertue
of it be in the wine, then coole it, and drayne the wine from the
dreggs, and make three draughts of the Wine, and drink one fasting
in the morning, another at three in the afternoone, another
late at night neer going to bed. Continue this, and by Gods grace
it will cure you.
