Pare and quarter 4 large apples; boil them tender with the rind of a lemon, in so little water, that when done, none may remain; beat them fine, add the crumbs of a small roll, 4 ounces of butter, melted, the yolks of five, and the whites of three eggs, the juice of one half a lemon, and sugar to your taste. Break all together, and lay it in a dish to turn out.

OIL of Olives and Honey, of each half an ounce, Urine one and an half ounce, Vinegar two drachms. Warm so as to melt the honey, and stir it well when given. Dose, a spoonful once in an hour or two.

TAKE Spirits of Turpentine, and Sal Ammoniac, and rub on the pained part, till a burning sensation is produced. Then cover the part with flannels, or some moist leaf as burdock, &c.

TAKE white vitriol 10 grains. Put it in an ounce of water, and an ounce of laudanum. Wash the part frequently.

TAKE a quart of flour, three table spoonfulls of yest [sic], a bit of butter the size of a large walnut, as much warm water as will wet the flour, a little salt, and an egg. Mix the whole up light, make it in rolls, put them in tins, place the tins before the fire for the rolls to raise a little, then put them in the oven, and be careful not to burn them black.
