106. Dens leonis: i.e. sowthistle; hot in the second degree and dry in the third; it serves well; it purges and cleans well the melancholic humour; when the sanguine humour gives trouble in its quality, together with the melancholic humour, take the roots of this herb, and mouse-ear hawkweed, cornflower, roots of tansy, roots of houndstongue, germander, roots of bugloss, and a little fumiter, pound these herbs, put them in strong ale with honey, take this drink, and it will clear up the menstrual flow and expel the melancholic humour. Take this herb and the yolk of egg, and juice of ribwort and meal of barley, and put it on the apostume called anthrax, and it will break it and help it surely. Item, take the same herb, and the lower part of dock, and boil it in a bath of the ash-tree and rub it on the exudation of the skin; it will help with atrophy of the hair, and give it a good colour.
