Cap. 269. ¶An excellent Medicine for one that is deafe,
and that his hearing is almost
cleane gone.
TAke a red Onyon, and take out the core that is in the
middest thereof, and put thereto the oyle of rosted
Almonds, but let the Onyon be somewhat warme
when you put the oyle into it, and let it stand so for the space
of one night, then let it be bruised, and strayned into a porin∣ger,
and let the party grieued cause one to drop three drops
at a time both morning and euening, and let him stop his
eare with a little blacke wooll that groweth vnder the eare
of a blacke Sheepe, and let him when he is in his bed lye
on the same side: thus vsing first the one eare, and after∣wards
the other in this manner, it will by Gods helpe cure
him. This hath cured many.
