subsection 170

170. Lepus: i.e. the hare; cold and dry by nature. If Its blood be put on the eyes, it will clean cataract and web of the eyes. If its head be burnt and powder made of it, and it be applied with oil to the head, the hair will grow. If the hare's head be burnt and eaten, it will help with the shaking of the limbs, and it will relieve paralysis. If the brain of the hare be roasted and rubbed on the gums of a child, the child's teeth will grow without pain. If its blood be consumed by people with dysentery, it will help them; it helps with apostumes of the intestines. If the rennet of the hare be consumed the third day after menstruation, the foetus will develop promptly. If powder be made of the blood of the hare in an earthenware vessel, and the powder of its skin be burnt and mixed with white wine, this will break the urinary stones, however long-standing they may be.
