READY DOCTOR

For Nose-Bleeding.

LAY a Plate of Iron or Lead in the Hollow of the Shoulders. Also, to snuff up Cobwebs and White Sugar Brayed, is very good. Otherwise, give the Patient 12 Drops of the Blood that proceeds from the Nose, in a Spoonful or two of Cold Water, to drink.

                               Probatum eft.


For Sore Nostirls.

IF there be growing filthy Flesh in the Nose, use my Cure for a Polipus. If otherwise, boil an Handful of Nettle Seed, and anoint the Nose outwardly, if sore by cold; and, if sore inwardly, snuff a few Drops of Featherjew Juice, called by Doctors, Feaverfew, by severals, Featherfullie, but by the most of people, Featherfew, upon account of the sinall fibres or feathers gradually arising from root to flower: This snuffed is very fine. Or, the Juice of Unice Toxicum used in same form.

                                   Probatum eft.

For the Navel going Out.

TAKE the Jnice of Fleabane Seed, Oil of Roses, and Vinegar, an equal share mixed together : Dip a Linen Cloath therein, and apply it to the Navel. Let the Cloath continue for 7 Days : but be sure to wet it at least twice per day with said Liquor
