FREE TRANSLATION 



Small alder, common persimmon, sycamore, cliokecherry, poplar, 

 cucumber tree, when boiled (poured) on a rock taken out of the 

 water, to smoke (i. e., to steam) (the patient) with; and (just this) 

 by itself. Another (way) also (to cure) this, is (to drink it) to vomit 

 with it; at the beginning he must drink it in the morning and vomit 

 with it at noon ; in the evening, then, he should steam himself with 

 it, using a white rock taken out of the stream. The symptoms are 

 that their skins are yellow. This medicine here described is a re- 

 markably (efficacious one) indeed. 



explanation 



This is a prescription for the treatment of a form of indigestion 

 or biliousness, attended, by a swelling of the abdomen and yellow- 

 ness of the skin. The remedy is a sweatbath. A decoction is pre- 

 pared of six varieties of barks, and is poured upon one or more stones 

 (the number depencJing on their size), taken out of the river. The 

 stones are heated in a fire, and tlie decoction poured on them produces 

 an abundant steam. (See p. 61.)
