The Cure.

Take the Gall of a Partridge, mix it with so much Oyl of Amber, and drop in three or four drops at a time, and do it three times a day; for want of that use the fat of an Eele, a Mole or Hedghog, as the for∣mer. The juice of Radishes is much commended, so is the juice of an Onion soaked in Brandy, and roasted, but I think oyl of Carawayes, two Page  54drops at once is better. Some use the water that drops out of a green Ash stick (laid with one end into the fire) boyled a little with the said fat of an Ele, and dropped into the Ear warm, but above all, take snakes or Adders, being fat, (which is in July) cast away the heads, tayles, bowels, and skins, put the other in a glass, pour spi∣rit of wine three inches above them, stop it well, and digest in a warm place, till the sub∣stance be turned to an oyle, keep it for use, and put two or three drops at a time into the deaf Ear.
