¶A true medicine for the bloody flixe.
TAke the tappettes or slouringe of Walnuttes and Filberts when they florishe / new gathered after that they be fallen from ye trees / and put them into a basin / and drye them in the Sonne or in an ouen / that they rot not: beat them to pouder / and he that hath the bloudy flixe / geue hym a quarter of an vnce thereof in an egge rosted wyth oyle / tyll it be harde: and eate thre morninges so muche thereof at euery ty∣me / and fastinge. And if it will not be staunched / then geue hym half an vn∣ce of thys pouder in an egge.
Yet another for the bloudye flixe / whyche comforteth the stomacke / and seasoneth the mouth if it is vnseasoned: for surely it cooleth hym and slaketh thyrste / and dryueth awaye the heate of the lyuer. Take suger of Roses as muche as a chest nut / and a quarter of an vnce of Sanguis draconis made to pouder / and geue hym a good draught of reyne water to drynke vpon it / or els conduyte water / or yet barly water. And if ye can haue nether of the∣se / then seth well crosted broune breade in water: the courser the bread is / ye better is it: Let the water be a good pint / and the crostes as much as a fist / and let hym eate thereof oft in the daye / and speciallye to bedwarde / at ny∣ght / and in the morninge. It were good also that he had somtyme pylled Al¦mondes / that haue lyen longe in colde water / or els to geue hym a slyce of bread styped in colde water / thesame cooleth and stopped very well. Or els take two flynt stones / and a pece of stile / and make them glowynge whote / and laye them than in milke of a Cowe / and thereof drinke fastinge a good draught bloud warme. Do thys thre morninges / and it shall auoyde. Ye maye also heate flyntstones and stile / and laye them in milke / & drinke ther∣of in the morninge and at eueninge. Or els take the rotes of Burres as mu¦che as a penye loaffe / chappe them small / and seth them in a newe pot wyth good wyne / let the paciente sit ouer them / that the vapor maye go vp into hym: do that oft / and the flixe shall staunche / whereof soeuer it be. It stop∣peth also the floures of women / whē they haue thē to sore. Also take Peers dryed / and seth them in water / and drinke thereof / and it shal staunche / and after a laxatiue / doth it stoppe the sieges continently.
* 1.1These meates oughte they to eate / that haue sieges: roosted Pygeons / and all meates that drye / as are Lentilles / Rice / Amilum / pared or shauen Herteshorne / or els Beenes sodden wyth vinegre vntill they pearche / and geue hym these to eate thre dayes continuallye / nether geue him anye other meate.
