The Falling-Sickness.
Gross, slimy humors do possess the brain,
The lively spirits no free passage gain:
The Patient at the mouth will foam, and fall
As if he dy'd, and lost his senses all.
The lively spirits no free passage gain:
The Patient at the mouth will foam, and fall
As if he dy'd, and lost his senses all.
Burn any dead man's skull, the ashes take
In drink; this sickness shall you soon forsake.
If you desire to cure this evil, tye
About your neck the root of Piony.
In drink; this sickness shall you soon forsake.
If you desire to cure this evil, tye
About your neck the root of Piony.
