Of the Mouth, and Its Diseases
22. A Caution
Whosoever would keep their mouth, or tongue, or nose, or eyes, or ears, or teeth, from pain or infirmities, let them often use sneezing, and such gargarisms as they were instructed in a preceding chapter; for, indeed, most of the infirmities, if not all, which infest those parts, proceed from rheum.
23. For Extreme Heat of the Mouth
Take Rib-wort, and boil it in red Wine, and hold the decoction as warm in your mouth as you can endure it.
24. For a Canker in the Mouth
Wash the mouth often with Verjuice.
