[English translation] Treatment for the heated liver. Take 1 lb. of water of endive, 4 ounces each of chicory, of waterlily, of nightshade, of wormwood and of liverwort, ½ scruple of camphor and 2 ounces of rose vinegar. Put everything together in a clean pot. Then heat it and make a decoction in the usual way, that is wetting a piece of wool or a sponge, wetting it well. Press it out and put it warm on the right side of the liver. Keep it warm and as it cools rewarm it again. Do this 3 or 4 times in the evening and in the morning and soon you will feel much better. Each hour when you use the decoction, rub the top of the kidneys with sandalwood unguent and it will help greatly. The unguent is made in this way, viz.:... 60 Galen's unguent for cooling the kidney and for every overheating. Take 4 ounces of rose oil, 2 ounces of white wax, ½ dram of yellow sandalwood and ½ scruple of camphor. Put the oil and the wax in a little pot and put it on a slow fire. Then put in the sandalwood made into very fine powder and continue stirring until it has developed a little body. Remove it from the fire and put therein the cut camphor and stir quickly until it is cold. Then wash it in a bowl with water of roses, of violets and of plantain, each the same amount, 3 or 4 times and the last time leave in a little of this water. Save it in a covered bottle as the powder and it will always be useful for heated kidneys and for every other overheating. Rub with it in the evening and in the morning and you will cure. Another unguent for cooling the kidneys, also from Galen. Take 2 ounces of rose oil, 1 ounce of white wax, put it on the fire in a pot until it is completely melted and incorporated. Remove it from the fire and put in 4 scruples of cut camphor and one egg white, well beaten, and stir it continuously until it is cool. Then wash it with water of roses and of plantain 4 or 5 times and at the end leave a little of the water and keep it for your needs. Rub the kidneys with this in the morning and evening and it will help you greatly and also will help remove the cause of the infirmity. This is a universal and tested remedy. Also if you need to improvise you can take a fresh egg white and incorporate it with a very little rose vinegar and bathe along the kidneys and it will help at once. Another cooling and white unguent. Take 6 ounces of rose oil, ½ ounce of turpentine, 3 ounces of veal fat, 2 ounces of white wax, 1 ounce of rose water, 1 dram of camphor and 2 fresh egg whites. Put the oil and the turpentine on a slow fire. When this has decreased by ¼ or 1/3 put in the fat. Remove it from the fire and put in the egg whites and the camphor with the rose water and keep stirring until it is cool. Then use it to rub where the kidneys hurt. Also sometimes it is used in scabies and it is very helpful in this serious irritation and may cure it. *For one who may be spitting blood caused by a broken vein in the chest.
