Against oppressive harg-drawn breathing, a fox’s lung boiled and put into sweet wine and administered: it cures wonderfully. Against sore kernels, take a fox’s testicles and rub often therewith; they will soon be whole. Against sore of the jaws, take a fox’s sinews and wet them in honey and rub the jaws with them very often: he (the sufferer) will soon be well of that disease. Ad congressus cum muliere, the extremest end of a fox’s tail hung upon the arms: thou believest that it is done as a mockery upon the sexual business.

Against dimness of eyes, take a fox’s gall mingled with] honey of dumble dore, and applied to the eyes: it cures. Against sore of ears, take a fox’s fat and drop it into the ears when once melted: good health will come to them.
