ounce, of Oyle of _Spike_ one ounce, Oyle of _Paliolum_ one ounce,
of _Terpentine_ one quarter of a pound, beat all these together into

_What place to annoynt for the French Pox._

The principall bone in the Nape of the Neck, without the
shoulder places, taking heed it come not neer the channell bone,
for then it will make the throat swell, else not, the elbowes on
both sides, the hip bones, the share, the knees, the hammes, and
the ankles; if the Patient have no Ache, annoynt not these places,
but only the sores till they be whole; if there be any knobs
lying in the flesh, as many have, annoynt them often, and lay
lint upon them, and brown paper upon the lint, and keep the Patient
close out of the aire, and this used will make him whole in
ten dayes by the grace of God.

_For a paine in the ears, or deafnesse._

Take a hot loafe, of the bignesse of a Bakers penny loaf, and
pull or cut it in two in the middest, and lay the middle of the
crummy side to the middest, or to the hole of the ear, or ears
pained, as hot as they may be endured, and so bind them fast together
on all night, and then if you find any pain in either or both
ears, or any noyse, put into the pained ear or ears, a drop of _Aqua
vitae_, in each, and then againe binding more hot bread to them,
walk a little while, and after goe to bed; this done three or four
dayes together, hath taken away the paine, hearing noyse in the
ears, and much eased the deafnesse, and dullnesse of and in many.
