helping all wounds sores and bruses euen restoring to men which by some aduenture haue lost their nailes new ones by washing that part with the water destilled and afterward wrapping them vp in fine linnen clothes dipt in the water Some there are also who to speake like a Chimist doe distill oyle of Tabacco per descensum which oile these authors agreing with the Paracelsians preferre before all other applications either of leaues iuice or pouder because the quintescences and extractions drawne out of the simples are the subtill spirit and haue the purest vertue and facultie of the substance from the which they are drawne They prescribe vnto vs this kinde of receipt Take of the choisest and most substantial leaues of this Tabacco one pound beat them in a morter of Marble after take halfe a pound of sweet hogs grease refind and clarified without salt and this being melted ad to it the Tabacco and set it ouer a soft fire to seeth deliberatly vntill such time as you finde the waterish humour of the Tabacco vapoured away and that the mingled substances retaine the fourme of a perfect ointment this reserue for a singular and medicinable good Another is this Take Rosel new wax and turpentine of each three ounces melt them togither and then adde vnto them a pound of Tabacco prepared as before mingle them togither and after with a slow fire set them to incorporat seething togither fiue or sixe howers vntill the water of the Tabacco be cleane vapoured away after this is done straine it through a course linnen cloath that may be very strong afterward take halfe a pound of Venice Turpentine and infuse it into these thinges beforesaid without any more boyling of it but stirring it continually vntill it be cold afterwards preserue these as pretious ointments touching their effects the first of these two is the better for sores vlcers carbuncles tetters and to dissolue than the second because Tabacco hath so much the more efficacy by how much there are fewer commixions The second is better than the first to consolidate any wound dissolue impostumes and swellings to appease their rage Further you may make a singular Baulme by cutting greene leaues of Tabacco and putting them into a glasse well stopt if you set it a good time in hot water or in the sunne or buried in Ventre equino by the space of fortie daies and doubtlesse you shal finde so singular a baulme as shal not be lesse admirable say mine authours than that oile which is made by the Paracelsians for all kind of vses that shall be desired in a hearbe of that nature AeGidius Eurartus in his discourse De herba Panacaea writeth how a certaine woman had giuen her cat a very strong poyson when the poore cat was now in that taking that she could not stand with dissinesse and striued to void forth the poison in vaine the woman remēbring her selfe found means to open her iawes and making a little ball of brused Tabacco mingled with butter thrust it into hir mouth and so swallowing it downe within a short time shee cast vp all the poison and so was saued L●o 〈◊〉 wils that we should gather the leaues in the moneth of Iuly and then bruse and distill them in a double Limbecke with two spouts of glasse and keepe this a yeare for saith he this receiued to the quantitie of an ounce for the increasing of health in a sicke stomacke is most effectuall There is likewise a Salt and an Oile to be made of Tabacco both of them more singular and effectuall for all diseases than either the leaues or iuice or water which the Paracelsians and Chimists generally agree in because they will that in this oyle should be contained the true life and naturall vertue in greater substance and better qualitie than any of the other Iacobus Gohorius a Parisien teacheth vs this maner of making of the Salt First saith he calcine this Tabacco and afterward dissolue it poure it into a pipkin and let it vapour according to reason this shalbe singular for vlcers and such like and this is the maner of drawing salt out of all vegitable things burne your hearbe first in the fire yet some vse to drie it in the shadow but being euen burnt to ashes you haue the more salt afterward taking a leaden vessell full of most pure cleare water infuse these ashes which being set to the fire let it boile some quantitie and then poure it into an other vessell where receiuing it in a clean cloth let it hang a while by the fire that the water may drie it selfe cleane away and not to haue any moisture remaining and in this cloath being so drie shall you find that Salt Another maner is this take the hearbe being dried and put it into a close pipkin vnder which you shall make fire vntil it be burnt into a fine white ashe then let it boile in raine water or distilled water vntill the fourth part be cōsumed then let it stand a while and after poure it into an other vessell which shall be full of pure and cleare water and that which shall goe out of the pipkin euaporat with a slow fire into a glas-bottle and the Salt shal remaine in the bottome Leonardus Fier●nantus a famous Phisition of our time writes that he tooke the roote and seed of Tabacco and brused them togither in a morter the leaues waighed saith he foure poundes afterward he went and laid them in Ventre equin● by the space of thirtie daies and to the end that it might not corrupt he put in some Salt with sixe ounces of Aqua vitae then distilling it in Balneo Mariae euen to the extraction of al the moistnesse and to the end he might the better conserue it he added so much oile of Sulpher that it euen smelt of it and with this composition he serued his turne in sundry occasions those which were troubled with agues he was wont to cure heereby giuing them but one spoonfull at once those which were wounded or otherwise hurt if they did either drinke hereof or bath their wounds in some quantity of it not without great admiration he vsed to to cure These be the opinions that be tearmed Receptiores of this plant i. that be more receiued than the rest and these I haue deliuered therfore not of mine owne otherwise than of mine owne collection but from the best Phisitions that haue written latest thereof if therfore the natures of Tabacco and the diuerse qualities it hath be more confirmed than before it is well if not it is neuer the worse I meane it shall neuer the more nor disable nor derogate from it this I say because there be so many heads as there be bodies to beare them so many wits and so many iudgements will follow some of knowledge some of experiēce some of fancie some one way some another euery man according to his humor well the plant hath growen the Phisition written and the author of this worke hath gathered who wisheth euery one his due the planter the writer and the reader
