Take a candle of sheep’s suet (some eringo seed being mixed therewith ) and burn it as near the tooth as possible, some cold water being held under the candle. The worms (destroying the tooth) will drop into the water in order to escape from the heat of the candles.
For Falling Fits
Burn a goat’s horn, directing the smoke upon the patient, and in consequence of the smell he will arise forthwith. Before he has arisen from the ground, apply dog’s gall upon his head, and that disease will not attack him anymore.
How to be Merry
If you would at all times be merry, eat saffron in meat or drink, and you will never be sad. But, beware of eating over much, lest you should die of excessive joy.
To Extract A Tooth Without Pain
Take some newts, by some called lizards, and those nasty beetles, which are found in ferns during summer time, calcine them in an iron pot, and make a powder thereof. Wet the forefinger of the right hand, insert it in the powder, and apply it to the tooth frequently, refraining from spitting it off, when the tooth will fall away without pain. It is proven.
(calcine - convert to powder by heating )
To Know whether a Patient will Live or Die
Anoint the patient’s heel with some hog’s fat, and give the remainder to a dog to eat. If the dog will eat it, the patient will live, if not, he will die.
