For fallinge of the heyre of the head.
MAke lye of the ashes burnt of doues dounge / and washe the heade therewyth.* 1.1 But if ye can not get doues dounge / take leaues of o∣ken tre / and seth the middelmost rippes of them in water / & wash the head oft there wt / letting it dry by it selfe / yt helpeth very well.
Or els take the ashes burnt of litle frogges / make a lye therwyth / wash the head oft therewyth / that hindreth the falling of the heyre.
But for ye drye skaldes of it / called in Latin Furfur / Porrigo or Pityra / seth the rotes of Malowes in water / & wash ye head oft therwith / and they shall fall of.* 1.2 He yt hath a scalfering head / let thesame take ye course brāme or wheat / & cast sething hote water vpon thē / let thē stand one day & night: after yt let it be strayned through a cloth / & put a litle vinegre thereto / & stra∣ke it vpon the head / & moystē it oft therwt / yt doth driue the scelfering away.
If one hath a head that can not be healed / let him take thick creme / * 1.3 and anoynte the head therewith well in the euening and morning thre wekes continually / but let the head be first wel and bare shauen / yt the creme maye the better pearse in / washe the head euery thyrde daye wyth strong warme lye / that the head may be chased therwyth: at the last rensch the head with colde lye / thesame draweth the heate out of it / after that let it drye / & anoint it agayn as before. Of thys wyse mayest thou heale & clense a head / though it were harde crusted with corruption.
But if any hath had vnclene scurfes or scabbes vpon the head / & is hea∣led of thē / howbeit it pilleth as though it wold break vp agayn / let him stra¦ke or anoynt it with oyle of flaxe sede or lyne sede / let him frot the heade sore therewyth: thesame maketh the skin stronge / harde and also cleane / that it breake vp no more.
