46. Auellana, nux parba: i.e. the hazel nut; it is hot in the first degree, and wet in the second degree; they nourish the body more than walnuts do; if they are eaten to excess together with the skin that is on the kernels, windiness is generated in the intestines from them, but if they are cleaned of this outer skin, they serve well against a cough if cooked in honey; if a plaster be made of them and pig lard put through it, the hair will grow; if the same kernels be pounded and put on the bite of a mad dog, it will not do any more harm.
