Oddities... (Was RE: [Sca-cooks] Good News from Drakey

[Jones, Craig]

It's from Digby's apothocary's manuscript.

Take a fig and soak in brandy and herbs (I can't remember which ones).
Flame the fig and let it burn for a pretty time.  Blow it out and apply
it to the affected area 'for as long as the lord shall bear it'...

Brings tears to my eyes...
