Pow-Wows, or Long Lost Friend, by John George Hoffman, [1820]
A VERY GOOD PLASTER.
Take wormwood, rue, medels, sheeprip-wort, pointy plantain, in equal proportions, a larger proportion of bees'-wax and tallow, and some spirits of turpentine; put it together in a pot, boil it well, and then strain it, and you have a very good plaster.
