William Oliver and his Wife, from Bath , who follow the Business of catching and felling Vipers , offered themselves to be bit by any Viper that should be procured, trusting to the Virtue of a Remedy they had lighted on by chance in trying Variety of Things, when the Woman was once accidentally bitten, and the usual known Medicines, even the Oil of Vipers , had no Effect in asswaging her Pains, especially of her Breast of the same Side as the Hand in which she had received the Wound. This Remedy, which is only common Oil of Olives, and, from its Use with Sallad , is vulgarly known by the Name of Sallad-Oil , recommends itself not only for its Efficacy, but likewise on account of its being readily to be come at, when Accidents happen, there being no Town, or even Gentleman's House in the Country, where Sallad-Oil is not at hand; whereas the Oil of Vipers is never to be had, but at Apothecaries , and not one in an Hundred of them keep it by them.
