To Preserve the Face from Being Deformed by the Small-Pox

     To preserve the Face from being de-
            formed by the Small-pox.
        Take an ounce and a half of po-
matum; of oil of almonds, one
ounce; of spermaceti and virgin’s 
wax, of each three drachms; of
damask rose water, one ounce; set
them all together over the fire, and
as soon as they are melted, take them
off, let them stand then till they are
cold, then make a hole, and drain
out the water, and with a feather
anoint the patient’s face.
