Rh Against a snake’s bite hartshorn has also power to dry up every wet; hence it is used as an eye-salve. Against headache, drink the weight of five pennies of ashes of hartshorn with one sextarius of wine and two of water; take a cup full of this every day and drink. This drink also restrains sore of womb. Against wagging of teeth, hartshorn burnt and pounded steadies the teeth, if one wisely uses it. Ad mulieris fluxum hartshorn beaten to dust and drunk in wine: she shall soon be well. Against worms, to kill [them], drink burnt hartshorn in hot water: it kills and casts out the worms. Also to kill snakes take ashes of the horn and spread them where they (the snakes) are: they shall soon flee away. Against sore of milt take burnt hartshorn in a sweet drink: it shall dry up the milt and remove away the sore. Against tetter, mingle burnt hartshorn with vinegar, smear with that; amendment soon comes to it. Again, to get a tetter off the face, mingle with oil burnt hartshorn and smear; when that is dried, renew it again. Do this before the rising of the sun: quickly it cures. Ut coitus appetitus excitetur, sume cervi testiculos et siccatos in pulverem redige, partemque in vini poculum indito: ita coitus appetitus excitatur. For the same take a hart’s dung and pound it to dust, put [the dust] into a drink of wine: it will cure the same.
