Take half an Ounce of Aloes and Myrrh powder'd, two Drams of Sal Saturni, twenty Grains of Sal Ammoniack, the same quantity of beaten Cloves, a Dram of Queen of Hungary Water and half an Ounce of Unguentum Basilicon, and let the whole Mass be mingled together.
In fine, the whole Mystery consists in well cleansing the Wounds with a Linnen Cloth, or with the Injections of the Tinctures of Myrrh and Aloes; or with simple Decoctions of Wormwood, Scordium or Water-Germander, Bugle, Sanicle and Hore-Hound in White-Wine; as also by prescribing the Vulnerary Decoctions of Powder of Crab's-Eyes, and Saccharum Saturni, to be taken inwardly, to consume the acid Humours, which are a very great Obstacle that hinders the speedy cure of Wounds.
What are the Vulnerary Plants, the Decoctions of which is to be taken inwardly?
They are Alchymilla or Lion's-Foot, Ground-Ivy, Veronica or Fluellin, St. John's-Wort, Wormwood, Centory, Bugle, Sanicle, Chervil, and others. The Broth of Crabs may also be prescrib'd, which is an excellent Remedy, and may serve instead of a Vulnerary Potion.
Sometimes Sutures or Stitches contribute very much to the re-uniting of the Lips of Wounds, when they cannot be join'd by Bandage.
