Another for ringing and roaring in the ears.
Take fresh sweet almond oil and heat it well and wet some cottonwool in the oil and put it in the ear. Do this several times in this way and it will help you greatly with the roaring.

For one who may have ringing and blowing enough that he would seem to have a windmill turning in the ears.
Take a vessel for oil, that is a jug or pot where oil has been standing for a long time. Take 2 ounces of fresh coriander and grind it and put it in the vessel of oil. Then put the vessel on warm ashes, which vessel has nothing in the oil except the powder of coriander and make it very warm. Then put the ear to the mouth of the vessel so all that warmth is received in your sick ear or receive the fomentation in one ear after the other, each time at least a half hour. Do this for 4 or 5 days and it will help you greatly as you will see at the end of 4 days. If you are not freed, do this other best remedy, that is, take coriander and make juice according to our method and put therein 3
quatrini
of tinting saffron. Then make it very warm and wet cottonwool in it and put this warm in the ear and in this way, through God's grace, you will be cured.

Fomentation for the ears to remove the roaring caused by illness.
Take one handful each of wormwood, good mint, marjoram and camomile and cook them in good wine. Then put a smooth stone in the middle, that is on the pan, but not in the wine. Place yourself with the bad ear on the stone that is very warm and take the fomentation in the ear so that it is well heated inside. Put in 3 drops of oil of rue or of bitter almond and put them on a little dry cottonwool, several times, and soon you will be cured.

Another for sickness in the ears.
Take juice of rue, of white onions, of leeks and of wormwood and woman's milk, each the same amount, and ordinary oil and boil everything together until it reduces one-fourth. Then rub from the ears to the wrists and also put a little in the ear with cottonwool. Do this for 3 days in a row and soon you will be cured.
Put the juice of mallow in a little pot and cover it with a very dry crust of bread with an opening in the middle and boil it slowly and hold your bad ear over the opening of the pot until it is very warm and do it several times and you will be cured.

For one who has lost his hearing.
Take a squash that has been standing for a long time in oil and roast it and collect the oil that is extracted and put the shed skin of a snake in it and boil it. Put the warm oil in the ear with a little cottonwool and keep it warm. By continuing this, you will be cured. Wash your head with water in which has been cooked roses, camomile, laurel leaves and sweet clover, and when you have washed and dried your head, take bitter almond oil distilled in a glass still and one ounce each of
muscardine
oil and beaver marrow and put everything together and put some of this warm oil in the ear with piled up cottonwool and soon your deafness will be helped.

Another for problems with the ears.
Know that when the spiral of the ear is too full of wax, the result is tinnitus and ringing. At this time one wants to take a loaf of white bread that is just removed from the oven and open it in half and put this on the ear, warm, and then take oil of bitter almonds and warm it and put it in the ear with a stupe or cottonwool and it will be cured.

Another if the ear has boils inside.
Put therein wool dipped in the said oil and it will bring out the boil.
