[English translation]

To cure the falling sickness, that is one who falls from that bad sickness, with the aid of God.
Take the herb called burdock, and some rue. For 15 to 20 days in a row the patient shoud eat this herb at meals or before meals with bread or in fritters or in whatever way he wants to eat it. Begin to do this 15 to 20 days before the full moon and watch carefully, if you can, to learn the day, the hour and the place where the moon rises. On that day, hour and location of the moon, draw blood from the patient from the vein under the tongue. Do this 3 times in a row, that is for 3 moons. This is verified and tested and greatly praised by experienced doctors who say that at that point the moon stirs all our blood and doing this bleeding under the tongue may diminish the bad blood which ascends to the brain, and so free the body of this kind of sickness, little by little. Warn the patient not to cohabit with women because that has very adverse effects. That is said to me by one who tested it.

Another for falling sickness.
Take leaves and seed of the herb dragon root or the root or some of its berries and give it to the sick one to drink. Also take some peony made into powder and take bone from the head of a dead man who has been in a coffin and scrape it with a knife or file it, and the fur of a white dog, cut finely. Put everything together and give it to the patient to drink with 3 ounces of red wine with broth or soup. If it is a little child make it smell rue repeatedly. Then rub some bread with roasted oil and give it to eat. It helps greatly. Then take a nail from the coffin of a dead man and make it into a ring and put it on the marriage finger and it greatly helps in this falling sickness. Have the patient wear around the neck this little charm, viz: '+ Amen + treat + your + old age + gently + remove + fevers + disease + and also repel + sudden + death'. Soon you will be cured, through God's grace.
Oil for the sickness called ugly.
Take 2 ½ lbs. of old ordinary oil and 1 ½ lbs. of malvasia or other potent wine, 1 handful each of rosemary, hyssop,
ave lustro
, marjoram, sage, rue and southern wood. All these should be washed and clean and cut finely and boiled together until the malvasia is reduced in half. Then add two thirds of the items written below, viz.:1 ½ ounces each of galingale and musk and 1 ounce each of cloves, cinnamon and ginger and let all these items cook on a very slow fire until the rest of the malvasia is used up. Then strain it through a fine cloth and put the remaining third of the items into the pure oil that has been strained and add 1 lb. of ordinary oil to the above. Then it should be put in the sun, well-covered, for several days and it will be made. With this oil rub the sick person all over the stomach and the back up to the head, going down as far as the kidney and the edge of the kidney. Through God's grace soon he will get better.
Prayers carried on the back against the falling sickness.
Write these prayers and carry them on the back or around the neck as a note, saying 5 Pater Noster with faith and devotion. The one who does this will no longer fall from this sickness, through God's grace. Viz: 'Jesus of Nazareth, King of Judea, in your name make me whole and by your compassion free me, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen.' We pray, 'God who directed the archangel Raphael to aid your servant, Tobias, in this life of variety and danger, you made him the guardian by whom we are protected and aided in the present life, for we live in danger and we look forward to come to joy in heaven. + + +.' We pray, 'Gracious and most high omnipotent God as we honor the holy day of your Saints Cosmas and Damian, may we be free from all threatening evils by their intercessions, through our Lord, Jesus Christ. Gaspar brought myrrh, Melchior brought incense, Balthasar brought gold.' Do this on Thursday or Sunday and say the Mass of the Three Kings and make 3 gifts of 3 kinds with this second prayer.
