Tips from 'Bald's Leechbook'
An unknown author from the tenth century compiled a book of medicine. Here's a taste of the subjects covered:
'For the sickness which they call 'shingles'...'
'In case a poisonous spider...should bite a man...'
'For the bite of a mad dog...'
'If a man's hair fall out...'
'For all liver diseases...'
'In case a man ache in the head...'
'Against a woman's chatter...'

i'd like to know the remedies to those...
i should hook you up with the headache one, since you won't go to the doctor :P
:P
you should hook me up with the last one so i can get you to stop chattering at me about going to the doctor ;)
:P
:D
women's chatter is an ailment?
apparently
for which the remedy is:
'eat a raddish at night, while fasting; that day the chatter cannot harm you.'
i bet enrique would be glad to know that - he'd probably go with 3 radishes a night.
i don't get it -- why radishes??
