[English translation] For the sickness of pleurisy, very true and tested. Take a quantity of red poppy and dry it in the shade and make very fine powder and save it for your needs, and may God let one escape that need. Take a spoonful of this powder and put it in a glass with 2 ½ ounces of very warm water of camomile and give it to the patient to swallow all at one time. In a short time it will help him. Do not neglect drawing blood from his arm and making there an ordinary cut. He may eat bread soup without salt and may drink barley water. He should stay warm with low light and little speech because this sickness is very dangerous and goes through 4 changes where it lies between life and death. These are, from the start, at 3 days, at 5, at 7 and at 9 days. If he survives for 9 days you will have good hope of health, with God's grace, if he is treated during those days in which he needs good care.
