Boils. The leaves of the tlatlanquaye plant, root of the tlal-ahuehuetl, tla-yapaloni and chipauac plant, well macerated in the yolk of egg without water, will thoroughly cleanse out head boils; they are to be applied daily, morning, noon and evening, in doing which let the head be well covered. But if at any place the head is festered, it is to be washed with urine, and the ointment then used.

Diviesos. Las hojas de la planta tlatlanquaye, la raíz del tlal-ahuehuetl, tla-yapaloni y chipauac, bien maceradas en yema de huevo sin agua, limpian completamente los diviesos de la cabeza; deben aplicarse diariamente, por la mañana, al mediodía y por la tarde, cubriendo bien la cabeza al hacerlo. Pero si en alguna parte la cabeza está ulcerada, debe lavarse con orina y luego aplicarse el ungüento.
