Another to strengthen vinegar.
Take 1 ounce each of pepper, ginger and cinnamon, all in powder. Then take a glass of very strong vinegar and take the center of a loaf of bread warm from the oven and at once put it to soak in this vinegar with the spices. Do this so that all the spices enter into the bread. Then dry it in the oven but so it does not brown. Then make all into fine powder and put it in your cask and it will reinforce the vinegar. Do this test: put a little in a glass of wine and at once it will become strong vinegar.

Another to make strong vinegar rapidly.
Take a large pot and fill it with good wine and seal it with parchment. Boil it in water in a tub of water on a bain marie for an hour or more. Then let it cool in the water and uncover it and it will have become strong vinegar.

Another to make vinegar.
Take a bowl of barley that is very clean and boil it in a pot of good wine for an hour. When it is cool, strain it and the next day it will have become strong vinegar. Do this whenever you want it.

Another to strengthen vinegar.
Put in the cask through the top 8 to 10 crayfish cooked and well salted, strung on a string and fastened to the bottom of a stick of medlar which should stay in the wine with the crayfish about 4 fingers from the bottom. In a few days it will become very strong. This has been tested many times.
To remove infected nails quickly.
Take equal amounts of Greek pitch and fat and mix them together and make an unguent. Then clean the bad nails and put on this unguent. Use it continually until the decay has gone away and the nails are removed without pain. They will return smooth and good in a few days. This has been proved.
To remove corns between the fingers or wherever they may be and to destroy the root.
Take wall pepper or house leek and remove the top surface of the cuticle and put that between the fingers on the corns for 6 to 8 days and they will go away and you will not feel it. If these corns are so resistant that they will not go away, use this other remedy. Take some of the above herb and grind it and put it together with a little dried rock alum and incorporate well. Then shave the wart closely to where it begins to soften. Then wet little cloths and put them on it, keeping them fresh. Within 8 to 10 days it will go away and it will not grow again in that place. Be confident because this has been tested many times.

Another to remove corns and the root.
Take 2 ounces of rose oil and 1 ounce each of clean wax, verdigris and white lead, ½ ounce of sublimate and 2 drams of dried rock alum. Chop up everything well and make an unguent of everything heated on a little fire. Soften the corn in warm water and shave it very closely. Then make a little plaster and put it on the corn. By continuing this it will soon disappear and will return no more.

*Another.
Take ground glass, yeast and mother's milk and make a little plaster and put it on the corn. If you continue this it will go away.

Another.
Soften the corn and cut it well until the blood comes. Make a little plaster of leather with fresh wax. If that is left on the corn it soon destroys the root and in a few days it is cured. This has been tested.
