While noodling around the Newport Historical Society website looking for genealogical research information, I found the following "receipt":
To Cure Chopt Lipps &c.
Take 2oz: of Bees wax & cutt it in pieces or bitts & 1
Gill of good Sweet oyl set it over a Clear fire when
Dissolved pour it into a Clear Bason & it will be when
Coal’d an Oyntment good for sore Nipples also any
Thing of that kind.
Try it next time you're grilling burgers and happen to have some beeswax on hand!
