¶To make a tooth so fall wythout smarte.

Page 13

SEth as many litle grene frogges / brething or sitting vpon trees / as thou canst get in water / vntill the fleshe do consume:* 1.1 take the fatt flowyng v∣pon them / and kepe it in a clene thyng / and when nede is / anoynte the teth therwyth. But take hede / that thou do not touche the other lykewyse / or els consumeth it the other also. Lykewyse doth the touth of a dead man / if one touche ther wyth the sore touth: but let him that doth it beware / lest he tou∣che any more / for they fall out also / wythout any smarte.

The graye wormes brething vnder wood or stones / hauing many fete / and when they be touched / do they cluster together lyke porkenpickes: these persed through wyth a botken or lyke thynge / and then put into te touth yt aketh / alayeth the payne. Lykewyse doth also a litle slyce of the rote of Aco¦rus / of some called in English Gladen / of other Galanga / whiche groweth in waters and marasses / this must be layd grene vpon the touth. A pece of the grene rote of Termentil doth lykewyse.
