¶ For the fallinge euell.
AGaynst the falling euell or syknesse / take miscelden of oken tre wyth the barke an vnce miscelden / of Pere tre half an vnce / the parynge of the toppet of hertes horne a quarter of an vnce:* 1.1 make of these thynges a pouder / and geue the patient thereof to drincke / the more he drinketh ther∣of / the better it is / and thys must he do fastinge.
Putte also of the pouder into a cloth / and laye it vnder hys head wyth∣oute hys knoweledge / and lette hym slepe there vpon.
Thys pouder must he vse in the morning fastynge / and to bedwarde at euen / and lette the pouder be refreshed euerye night. Lette also the pouder to be layde vnder hys head / and the pouder that he drinketh / be of like wei∣ghte. Thys doth helpe hym.
Macer writeth that the rootes of Peony be verye good for the fallinge syknesse / if they be hanged aboute the necke.* 1.2 Galene dothe also write of a chylde / whych had the roote of Peonye hanging about hys neck / and was fre all that whyle of the fallinge sicknesse / that it was about it: and when it was fallen of by chaunce / than gat it his former disease agayne.
Hipocrates sayth also / that he dyd tye a chylde of fyue yeares the rote of Peony aboute the necke / and it rose continentlye agayne from the fallinge sycknesse / and was hole: and thus is it twyse proued.
If it be a man yt is greued wyth thys disease / let thesame take a he Wol¦ues harte / and make it to pouder / and let him vse that agaynste the disease: but if it is a woman / let her take a she Wolues harte / &c.
