CHAP. XXXIIII. A tetter or ringworme, cured by W. K.

THere is a certaine worme or tetter, which manie times cōmeth on the backe of the hand or arme, & doth cor∣rode, like a serpigo, but it is none, which (after the vse of ma∣ny other medecines) hath bene cured in this manner. The place was annointed 5. or six times a day, with the sirupe of sugar, that the worme might come to the vpper place or skin. Then within three or foure dayes after, he annointed the place with oleum Tartari foetens: & in short time he was cured, though his disease, had continued three yeares, com∣ming and going. Some haue killed the worme, with oleum vitrioli.
