An Irish Version of Gualterus de Dosibus (Author: Walter de Agilon/Galterius Agilinus)

paragraph 63

Note particularly that it is the same digestive by which it is possible to digest the matter in epilepsy and apoplexy, and in hemicrania from a cold cause; however, it is proper to put more of peony, rue, betony and ground ivy than of other items towards digesting the matter in epilepsy. So too for apoplexy. It is proper to digest the matter in hemicrania by the same digestive. However, it is proper to insert more of polycaria major than of the other items, since the herbs employed in the greatest quantity are the most effective in the compound, and are the most appropriate for the area where the matter is located. For that reason more of these is inserted than of the other items.
