CHAP. XXIII. The healing of a scald head.

A Womā had all her head couered, with a most filthy scab, which was dry aboue, and moist vnderneath, very noy∣some to behold, who could neither be healed, by purging, or locall medecines, that were vsed, till this medecine was ap∣plied vnto her. Once in a day, oleū ligni guaiaci, was applied, and in short time, the scall fell away, like a scull of an head, and there began haire to grow vnderneath it: this cure was performed in twelue dayes.

Another cure performed vpon a scald head.

A Maiden of eighteen yeares of age, hauing an huge great scall vpon her head, was cured (after she had taken one dose of Aromatico) by often washing the part affected, with Mater balsami Fiorauante.
