¶Of all diseases of the mouth and hys appertenances.

* 1.1AGaynst the stinking of the mouth / chawe oft in the daye herbe called Cinkfoly or fyuefyngered grasse / and it shall go awaye in four dayes.

If ye haue eaten garleke / and your breth sauoureth strong after thē / eat the leaues of Rue or herbe grace / and it shall not be perceyued with you.

If a man haue great heat and drought in his mouth / so that he thinketh hys mouth will burne / then take the water of Marche se in thy mouth / that slaketh it. But if thou haste not that / laye foure or sixe flinte stones / so bigge as a Walnut in colde water / and take alwaye one of them into thy mouth / and holde it therein: and when it waxeth warme / take it oute / and laye it in colde water agayne / and take another into thy mouth. This doth much good / and slaketh also the thyrst.
