and its grease with old oil and with tar; apply [that salve] to the women’s places: it quickly cures the troubles. Against headache, take that and smear the head with the like to what is said here above: it cures wonderfully. Against sore of ears, again, take the same salve [when] clear, drip [it] into the ear: it cures wonderfully. Against sore of milt, a foxes lung roasted in hot ash and pounded, and reduced to a drink; it cures the milt wonderfully; so does its liver the same. Against warts, take a fox’s testicles, rub the warts very often therewith: it quickly breaks them up and removes them away. Against oppressive harg-drawn breathing, a fox’s lung boiled and put into sweet wine and administered: it cures wonderfully. Against sore kernels, take a fox’s testicles and rub often therewith; they will soon be whole. Against sore of the jaws, take a fox’s sinews and wet them in honey and rub the jaws with them very often: he (the sufferer) will soon be well of that disease. Ad congressus cum muliere, the extremest end of a fox’s tail hung upon the arms: thou believest that it is done as a mockery upon the sexual business. Against sore of ears, take a fox’s gall, mingle [it] with [oil; drip into the ears; it cures well. Against dimness of eyes, take a fox’s gall mingled with] honey of dumble dore, and applied to the eyes: it cures. Against sore of ears, take a fox’s fat and drop it into the ears when once melted: good health will come to them. Against pain of feet, if the inner part of the shoe be vixen-hide and if it [be] gout, smear the feet with oil: they will have so much the lighter walk.

Against oversleeping, a hare’s brain [in wine] given as a drink: wonderfully it amends. Against sore of eyes a hare’s lung set on and bound thereto: the sore will be healed
