Medicines for the Head. For a scalded Head
Take the liver of a Thornback and seeth it by it self, and six Elacampana roots, and seeth them by themselves in water three houres, and put thereto three handfulls of Houseleek stamped, and strained through a cloth, and make an ointment thereof, and anoint the Head therewith, and if the hair be gone, take a handfull of Wooll, and bray it hot to powder, then take two spoonfulls of Honey, and anoint thy Head therewith; where it is pilled, and thy hair will soon come again, as thick as in any other place of thy Head.
