There is a small bone in the heart (ossicula/ os de corde cervi). In
earlier days, it was believed to have many and strong medical forces:
against melancholy, nose-bleeding, apostems, heart problems, bad dreams,
swimming of the head, unconsciousness, ... There are books with 35 pages
about _os de corde cervi_.

>From the hide you could use the scrapings together with vinegar (ramenta
pellis cervinae): against _ignis sacer_ (?). Well, according to Pliny.
