The way of Curing Wounds, with it, is, to take some
of the Blood upon a Rag, and put some of the Powder
upon the Blood, then keep only the Wound clean, with a
clean Linnen about it, and in a moderate Temper betwixt
hot and cold, and wrap up the Rag with the Blood, and
keep it either in your Pocket, or in a Box, & the Wound will
be healed without any Oyntment or Plaister, and without
any pain. But if the wound be somewhat old, and hot, and
inflamed, you must put some of this Powder into a Por-
ringer or Bason full of cold Water, and then put any thing
into it that hath been upon the wound, and hath some of
the Blood or Matter upon it, and it will presently take
away all Pain and Inflammation, as you see in Sir Kenelnis
Relation of Mr. Howard \sic\.

and put some of the Powder into it, and bath the Nostrils
with It. From Hartman, The Preserver of Health.
