For the Nose. To stop Bleeding at the Nose

Take Amber, and burn it in a Chafingdish of Coals, and let the smoak of it go up into thy Nose, and it will stop Bleeding. A Tailor Bleeding twenty four houres without ceasing, and no Medicine could stay him, at last he took a Skain of black Threed, and put the one end thereof in at the Nostrills, and the other was set on Fire, and when he had received the Smoke into his Nostrills, the great Flux ceased immediately, and he bled no more in a long time after.
Another for the same

Take the root of the great Romane Nettle, and let the Patient chew it in his mouth, and to refresh it with another Root, for this is great need hath been found very saving for staying of the Flux of Blood. And when I could stop the Blood with no manner of Medicine, then I opened a Vein in the Ear, and so let out a good quantity of blood: this is the last Refuge for Bleeding at the Nose.
