peppermint water. — The vapour of boiling water over leeks is useful. ’ PILES. — See Lenitive Electuary, page 238. PILES, Bleeding. — Lightly boil the juice of nettles with a little sugar ; take 2 ozs. It seldom needs repeating. PILES, to Cure. — Apply wann treacle. Or, a tobacco-leaf steeped in water twenty-four hours. Or, a poultice of boiled brook-lime. It seldom fails. Or, a bruised onion, skinned, or roasted in ashes. It perfectly cures the dry piles. Or, fumigate with vinegar, wherein red hot flints have been quenched. This softens even schirrous tumours. PILES, Inward. — Swallow a pill of pitch, fasting. One pill usually cures the bleeding piles. Or, cat a large leek, boiled. Or, take twice a- day, as much as lies on a shilling, of the thin skin of walnuts, powdered. PILES, Ointment for. — Take of emolient ointment, 2 ozs. ; liquid laudanum, % an oz. Mix these ingre- dients with the yolk of an egg, and work them well together. PILEWORT OINTMENT, Improved. — The plant Pilewort, (ranunculus jicaria,) flowers in March and April. It should be gathered when in bloom, chopped extremely fine, after the roots and plant have been well washed. Boil in lard, without burning, two hours, stirring all the time. Strain while hot. Add 1 drachm of bella- donna, 1 drachm each of opium and camphor, powdered. Mix, and make an ointment.
