FOR THE SCURVY AND SORE THROAT.
Speak the following, and it will certainly help you: Job went through the
land, holding his staff close in the hand, when God the Lord did meet him,
and said to him: Job, what art thou grieved at? Job said: Oh God, why
should I not be sad? My throat and my mouth are rotting away. Then said
the Lord to Job: In yonder valley there is a well which will cure thee [name],
and thy mouth, and thy throat, in the name of God the Father, the Son and
the Holy Ghost. Amen. This must be spoken three times in the morning and
three times in the evening; and where it reads “which will cure,” you must
blow three times in the child’s mouth.
A VERY GOOD PLASTER.
Take wormwood, rue, medels, sheeprip-wort, pointy plantain, in equal
proportions, a larger proportion of bees’-wax and tallow, and some spirits
of turpentine; put it together in a pot, boil it well, and then strain it, and you
have a very good plaster.
TO STOP BLEEDING.
I walk through a green forest;
There I find three wells, cool and cold;
The first is called courage,
The second is called good,
And the third is called stop the blood. + + +ANOTHER WAY TO STOP BLEEDING,
AND TO HEAL WOUNDS IN MAN AS WELL AS
ANIMALS.On Christ’s grave there grows three roses; the first is kind, the second is
valued among the rulers, and the third says: blood, thou must stop, and
wound, thou must heal. Everything prescribed for man in this book is also
applicable to animals.
