_For the Piles._
Set a Chafin-dish of coales under a close stoole chaire, or in a
close stoole case, and strew _Amber_ beaten in fine powder, upon
the coales, and sit downe over it, that the smoak may ascend up
into the place grieved.
_A Medicine for the Piles._
Take a little _Orpine, Hackdagger_, and _Elecampane_, stamp them all
together with _Boares_ grease, into the form of an Oyntment, and
lay them to the place grieved.
_A Diet for the Patient that hath Ulcers or
Wounds that will hardly be Cured with
Oyntments, Salves, or Plaisters._
Take one pound of _Guaicum_, boyle it in three pottels of _Ale_,
with a soft fire, to the consuming of two parts, but if it be where
you may have wild Whay, or cheese Whay, they are better. Let
the Patient drink of this morning and evening, halfe a pint at a
time, and let him sweat after it two hours. His drink at his Meals
must be thus used, put into the same vessel where the former was
made, to the _Guaicum_ that is left, three pottels of _Ale_, and not
_Whey_, let it boyle to the one halfe, let him drink thereof at all
times, and at his meale, which must be but one in a day, and that
so little, that he may rise hungry. Thus he must doe for five
dayes together, but he must first be purged.
