A Powder for Wounds
Take Orpiment, and Verdigreese, of each an ounce, of Vitriall burned till it be red, two ounces, beat each of them by it selfe in a brasen Morter, as small as flower, then mingle them all together, that they appear all as one, and keep it in bagges of leather, well bound, for it will last seaven years with the same vertue, and it is called Powder peerlesse, it hath no peer for working in Chyrurgery, for put of this powder in a wound where is dead flesh, and lay scrap’t lint about it, and a Plainer of Disklosions next upon it, and it will heale it.
