To cure hemorrhoids and piles from within and without.
Take 1 handful each of the herb greater sedum, agrimony and leaves of the balsam apple and boil them in ½ lb. of oil of roses with 3 ounces of plantain water on a slow fire until it reduces 1/3. Then strain it and squeeze the herbs under the press and extract the substance as much as you can and put that with the oil and it will be made, a precious oil to cure hemorrhoids at your need. When the hemorrhoids give you trouble, take a little in an egg shell and make it very warm and with a chicken feather rub them very well inside and out 2 or even 3 times a day and you will be cured. If you wish to be cured rapidly, before you oil yourself, take a laxative the day before and it should be the ordinary kind to drink and it should be cooling. You should take this kind of laxative for all problems of hemorrhoids and also in piles. Take care of your life and do not eat things that are warming, nor sour things, nor salted meat, but all things cooling. Then after your ointments, I say that, with the aid of God, soon you will be cured. They will not give you more trouble and by following the prescriptions and the rules above, you will soon be cured.

Another to cure hemorrhoids.
Take 4 ounces of oil of roses, 20 sow bugs, 3 cockroaches and ½ bowl of earthworms washed with white wine. Put everything in a little pot and boil it on the warm ashes very slowly until it seems ready to you. Put the little animals in cold oil because otherwise they will burn. Then it will be made. Rub the hemorrhoids with this oil inside and out with a feather. The oil should be warm. Soon you will be cured. If you wish the cure to be quick, do not drink wine nor eat things that are preserved in salt and you will be cured.

Another to remove hemorrhoids.
Take the dung of a female cat if the patient is feminine and from a male cat if the patient is male and put it in an oil lamp with ordinary oil and boil it a little on the fire. Then with the warm oil, rub the piles. Do it several times and you will cure them quickly.

Another to cure piles.
Take a turtle and put it in a pot that is tightly closed and put it in the oven to dry until you can make fine powder. Then wash the hemorrhoids with warm wine and put on them this powder several times and you will cure them.

Another to cure hemorrhoids.
Take 2 ounces each of clean roots of marsh mallow cut finely, camomile, mallow and cypress nuts and 3 ounces each of flax seeds and fenugreek and cook these well in water from the blacksmith until it reduces in half. Then wash yourself 2 or 3 times a day and you will be cured. Take some roots of figwort, which is similar to dead nettle, grind it and make a pancake and eat it for 4 or 5 mornings and you will be cured quickly.... 102

Another to cure hemorrhoids very quickly.
Take some of the green branches of elder and boil them in water from the blacksmith and when they are about cooked, spread them on a smooth cloth of rose-red as large as a hand and with the sick person lying down on his back, put this warm on the hemorrhoids and say a miserere and put on another of the poultices and put on a little rose or violet oil. Do this change every half hour for the period of 3 or 4 hours. I tell you that very soon they will be cured. Maintain it on always very warm. Do this in the evening when the patient goes to sleep and as soon as he goes to sleep the pain will cease. He will find himself already healed and will not feel pain, if he will not do anything disorderly, that is eating anything harmful. You will cure him quickly by doing this.
