Of Africanus: toward earache.I wish to help the ears in a double manner: so that both, being in pain, they cease, and having ceased they no longer pain.For when the affection about the ear becomes hard to bear and to carry away, sores coming to be, and it rears foul-smelling pus and worms, the pain that comes about them hard to endure — partridge-herb, cheap and growing everywhere, as if nature were ambitious with what is easy to get, is chopped strongly, so that much juice of it comes to be.Then a little Attic honey is taken, and not much sharp vinegar, and a little of sea-stuffs.These, mixed and warmed, become salvation to the one in pain.
