307. A PERFUME TO PREVENT PESTILENTIAL AIRS, &C.

Take of benjamin, storax, and galbanum, each half an ounce, temper

them, being bruised into powder, with the oil of myrrh, and burn them

in a chafing-dish, or else take rosemary, balm, and bay leaves; heat

them in wine and sugar, and let the moisture be consumed; likewise

burn them by the heat of the pan, and they will produce a very fine

scent.
