Rif Shabbat 41a {Shabbat 111a - 112a}

41a

{Shabbat 111a - though digressed to Tosefta}
When?
At the time he intends for healing. But if he does this because of mouth odor, it is permitted.
And he should not rinse a medicine {sam} in his teeth on Shabbat, when he intends for healing. And if because of mouth odor, it is permitted.
And one whose teeth pain him, he should not sup vinegar through them and eject {the vinegar from his mouth}. But he may sip and swallow, and dip {his bread in it} in his usual manner and not fear {of violating Shabbat}.
One whose throat pains him, he should not gargle with oil, but he should place a lot of oil into enigaron {a sauce of garum, to which wine is sometimes added} and swallow it.

"IF ONE'S LOINS PAIN HIM, HE MUST NOT RUB THEM WITH WINE OR VINEGAR etc.":
Rav said: The halacha is like Rabbi Shimon {who said in the Mishna that anyone may anoint himself with rose oil, since all of Israel are benei melachim}.

{Shabbat 111b}
And not because of his {Rabbi Shimon's} reason. For Rabbi Shimon would hold that even though it is not common it is permitted {since all of Israel are benei melachim} and Rav holds that if it is common, yes, and if not, no.
And so is the halacha.

MISHNA:
Now, THESE ARE THE KNOTS WHICH ENTAIL CULPABILITY: CAMEL-DRIVERS' KNOTS AND SAILORS' KNOTS.

AND JUST AS ONE IS GUILTY FOR TYING THEM, SO IS HE GUILTY FOR UNTYING THEM.
R. MEIR SAID: ANY KNOT WHICH ONE CAN UNTIE WITH ONE HAND ENTAILS NO GUILT.

YOU HAVE SOME KNOTS WHICH DO NOT ENTAIL GUILT LIKE FOR CAMEL-DRIVERS' KNOTS AND SAILORS' KNOTS.
A WOMAN MAY TIE UP THE OPENING OF HER CHEMISE, THE RIBBONS OF HER HAIR-NET AND OF HER GIRDLE, THE LACES OF HER SHOES OR SANDALS, PITCHERS OF WINE AND OIL, AND THE MEAT POT.
R. ELEAZAR B. JACOB SAID: ONE MAY TIE [A ROPE] IN FRONT OF AN ANIMAL, THAT IT SHOULD NOT GO OUT.

{Shabbat 113a}
A BUCKET [OVER A WELL] MAY BE TIED WITH A FASCIA {=a band or fillet} BUT NOT WITH A CORD; BUT R. JUDAH PERMITS IT.
R. JUDAH STATED A GENERAL RULE: ANY KNOT THAT IS NOT PERMANENT ENTAILS NO CULPABILITY.

{Shabbat 111a}
Gemara:
"YOU HAVE SOME KNOTS WHICH DO NOT ENTAIL GUILT...":
{This implies that} culpability you do not have, but it is nonetheless forbidden. And what are they?

{Shabbat 112a}
The knot which is tied through the nose ring and the knot which is tied through the ship's ring.
