[English translation]

Scrofula, that is swollen glands, and bad growths arising in several ways. Viz:
Take 5 pounds of laurel oil, 3 ounces each of mastic, frankincense, gum arabic, turpentine and egg white and mix them together and distill in a glass flask. Then put into the distillate, 6 pounds of strong ashes of oak and incorporate well and redistill it. Save the water that comes out in a bottle as something valuable which is very good for scrofulous lumps or swollen glands. These often appear near the Adam's apple, that is around the throat and also on the body. With this water you should bathe them repeatedly. Then take some lentils and cook them very well with vinegar and put this warm on the sick places in the form of a poultice and do it several times. With God's grace soon it will cure the scrofula, and rapidly.

Another for scrofulas.
Take ground salt and vinegar and ox dung and urine of a child 6 years old and mix everything together in the form of a poultice and put it warm with a stupe on the scrofulas in the evening when you go to sleep and it will help you considerably.

Another for scrofulas that are not broken open.
Take the root of wild squash, that is bryony, and distill water from it in the glass still. Give 3 ounces to the patient to drink every morning as a syrup. Continue for one month and you will help him greatly.

Another for scrofulas.
Take the herb pellitory that grows on the wall. Pound it between 2 stones and make juice, and wet pieces of finely-woven linen in this and put them on the sore spots. Continue the medication for a month, 2 or 3 times a day, and you will cure.

Another to make the scrofulas break open.
Take the root of marsh mallow, that is
altea
, and make powder and take smooth pork fat and mix them together. Then rub the bad area of the scrofulas with it, warm, and shortly it will be broken open.

Another for those that are not open.
Take 9 live lizards and put them alive in a pot and put in oil of dill, salt and old ordinary oil. Boil this until 1/3 remains and with this oil, warm, repeatedly rub the swellings of scrofula and they will give you no more trouble.

Another for those scrofulas that are open.
Take a large pot full of white wine, the oldest that can be found is the best, and put in 1 handful each of sage and rosemary, 4 cyclamen roots and 1 ½ ounces of saccharine alum and 1 handful each of dill and salt, and boil everything together until it reduces one third. Then strain it and with this wine, very warm, bathe the sores repeatedly and dry them. Then grind the herbs finely. Take lard or fat that should be old, the amount as much as the herbs in weight or volume, and grind everything together finely. After the sores have been washed, put on this plaster and do this 2 times a day and, through God's grace, you will soon cure.
Water that removes developing scrofulas and warts.
Take 5 pounds of old laurel oil and 3 ounces each of white frankincense, mastic, gum arabic and turpentine and compound everything and distill it into a glass bowl and put in this water 5 pounds of ashes of the strongest soft cheese that can be found and return it to the still and save the water that comes out. When you want to remove the scrophulas, carefully bathe them repeatedly and as they dry up do this again to the swelling. To remove warts, make them bleed a little with a needle. Then wet them with this water and it wears away the roots of the wart and it will dry up and soon it will go away.

Another to remove scrofulas that are closed over.
Take 4 ounces each of the urine of a young child and strong vinegar and one spoonful of salt and with this wet pieces of linen and put them on the glands in the evening when you go to bed. By continuing it, they are consumed little by little and you will be cured. Do not eat pork.
