Those 254 4 | it, for it was for this purpose that the hair was rolled 255 2 | his thighs on both sides, push down the stalk as far as 256 5 | the fistula by means of a quill attached to a bladder, so 257 12| pitch and spread upon a rag, apply, and bind. Another:- 258 9 | it on the gut, then apply rags, bind the thighs together 259 3 | stalk by it, and when it reaches the rectum, take hold of 260 8 | of a woman, with his back reclined to her knees, and when the 261 3 | placed the patient in a reclining position, and having examined 262 12| inflammation, having roasted red natron, and pounded it to 263 6 | to be applied. But if you remove these things, let him take 264 3 | it be taken out and again replaced, and let this practice be 265 8 | short time, and the gut will return. But if it still prolapse, 266 1 | fall, or a wound, or by riding, or rowing, or any such 267 11| bruised the inner part of a ripe cucumber to a soft state, 268 4 | purpose that the hair was rolled round the raw lint, as it 269 6 | and dilute the acrid and salt particles, so that the heat 270 12| and added alum and roasted salts, finely triturated, mix 271 9 | not remain in its place, scrape the finest and most compact 272 10| cataplasm. Another: Having scraped off the rind of the most 273 6 | grease of a goose, swine’s seam, chrysocolla, resin, and 274 12| when bile and phlegm become seated in the parts.

On the sixth day let it be removed, and 286 6 | hip-bath of hot water, and sixty grains of the grana gnidia 287 4 | fistula takes that time to slouch through. The same mode of 288 4 | rot. When the fistula has sloughed through, a soft sponge is 289 9 | silphium (assafoetida?) into small pieces and apply as a cataplasm, 290 8 | and anointed it with a snail, bind the man’s hands together, 291 9 | to the nose and provoke sneezing, and having moistened pomegranate 292 | something 293 5 | away, and the fistulous sore becomes clean, cure it as 294 5 | first examined it with a sound, cut down as far as it passes, 295 4 | folds of the length of a span, and wrapping them round 296 4 | and the patient kept on a spare diet.~ 297 4 | having made a director (specillum) of tin, with an eye at 298 3 | parts of the rectum with a speculum, pass the stalk by it, and 299 12| application also for pains of the spleen. Of these poultices, those 300 5 | as far as it passes, and sprinkle with the flos aeris, and 301 3 | the great tithymallus, and sprinkling on it the flos aeris, roasted 302 8 | decoction upon the anus by squeezing the sponge, then, bringing 303 6 | mixed together the juice of srychnos, the grease of a goose, 304 9 | a cataplasm, and apply a sternutatory medicine to the nose and 305 10| but mix also flour and stir it up with white wine and 306 6 | and ground, and its meal stirred up and mixed equally with 307 11| mixing the finest flour, and stirring it up with white wine, apply 308 8 | cypress, or of juniper, or of stone-pine, or of turpentine, the in 309 | stop 310 3 | place, having moistened the strip of cotton cloth, with the 311 6 | particles, so that the heat subsides, and the irritation in the 312 12| oil, wax, plumbago, and suet, these being all melted 313 6 | form into an oblong ball (suppository?) and warming it gently 314 2 | still unripe, before it suppurate and burst into the rectum. 315 1 | it, becoming corrupted, suppurates; and the from the the same 316 8 | man’s hands together, and suspend him for a short time, and 317 9 | fast, only he may drink sweet wine.
