Miscellaneous Receipts For a gathered breast Stew the blossoms of Saffron & leaves of mint, (green mint, if you can get it, is best) in new milk, & thicken with flour. Before applying the poultice, always bathe very gently the inflamed part with camphor linament, made of [illegible[ camphor, & sweet oil, measured in equal quantitudes, & pour a few drops on the poultice, which should also be [gualled?] on the [?face?] with hog's foot, or lily oil, or if nothing better can be gotten, a little hog's lard, is very good. Apply as warm as can be done. This remedy is one of the very best to prevent a gathering, or to cure after it has gathered. [Illegible] Varnish (Mrs Gates) 1/2 lb [illegible] soap, 1 pt [illegible] strong enough to bear an egg, a piece of mutton [one?] & beeswax. The size of an egg, & a wineglass sweet oil, boiled to 1/2 pt. First wash off with clean water & soap, & then polish with a piece placed between flannel.
