¶Of the swellinge in the rote of the mouth / called in Latin Vua or Vuula.
THe swelling that is caused of a cold slimy humor / falling out of ye head / and hanginge in the rofe of a mans mouth / is called in Latine Vuula / whych hindreth a man of his speche: thys shal be cured of this wyse:* 1.1 If it is of superfluous blood / then is the disease read / long and greate / & the veynes ••f the forheade are grosse and swollen / then let him blood in the Cephalica vpon the hande. But if it commeth of other accidentes / as of superfluous moysture and colde / then take whyte dogges torde that is dry / and make it to pouder / and take commune salt / and drye it in a panne vpon the fyre / so yt it waxe euē broune: braye thesame of like quantitye together to pouder / put that to the swellinge or disease: for it is good and vpright.
Or els bye whyte Frankincense / cast a pece of it vpon hote coles: put a thunnel ouer it / and let the smoke therof go into thy throt / that helpeth / and is oft tymes experimented or proued.
Or els take Sal armoniacum / and make a pouder therof / & heaue the swelling vp therewyth.
It is very good to let him blood vnder the tounge / or els vpon both the thumbes / when the disease beginneth: for it helpeth him. Some do cut it of: but that is dangerous. They that be so diseased / must beware for cold drin∣kes / and specially of milke and chese.
An other experience for the swelling in the rofe of the mouth / or els him yt can not wel take breth / whiche I haue oft shewed poore people / namely / to pull ye patient sore by ye earlap vpwardly / & incontinently shall he be healed.
