For Ulcers Anywhere On the Body
Wash the complaining parts with Lobelia Tincture every day, and make an ointment of green frogs, Shrub, Maple, Spignut Root, Gumfrey, White Elder Bark, and Blue Flag Root, two ounces of each to four green frogs, first steep the roots, barks and herbs in two pounds of hogs lard, then strain after boiling, and apply this daily to the ulcer; and the effect will astonish you.
For Sores
Take male hogs lard one pound, Spignut half pound, fourth of a pound of Solomon’s Seal, the extract of Dandelion one ounce, the Seed of Lobelia one ounce, one ounce Spirits of Turpentine, four ounces rosin, two ounces Beeswax; and make it into a salve and apply until well.
For Cleansing the Blood
Take Burdock Roots, brush them clean and slice them up, then put them in cold water and drink for common, or take Yellow Dock, and boil it in water and drink half a pint each day, or take decoction of Sassafras for a common drink, or Black Alder bark, or Tag Alder Bark, or Cucumber Bark, or Yellow Poplar Bark, in decoction, these are all very good and are best when used alternately.
To Appease Pains
Take half a pound of the meal of Windsor Beans, two handfuls of well pounded Wheat Bran, two handfuls of Ox Dung, Wormwood Leaves, Chamomile Flowers and Melilot (Sweet Clover), one handful and a half, oil of Roses, and of Anise seed of each two ounces, clear Lye of ashes as much as will be necessary; the whole well pounded and put to boil altogether, and stir it until it thickens, you will then spread it on tow, and apply it warm to the afflicted part, and change it twice a day, until a cure takes place.
For Pains and Swellings
Take some Province Roses, Port Wine, Wheat Bran and Oil of Roses, and make of it a Cataplasm, and apply it as warm as you can bear it on the sick part.

Has anyone gone to the link & tried to read all 150? After the first 30 or so it links to another site (Indian Creek Tribe) and I haven’t found the rest of the information there yet. Wondering if anyone else has.
