HEAD: The manner of preparing and administering the medicines mentioned in this medical manual:

Number 1. Take three *tsorenak’ash* [grains weight] of tartar emetic, pour [it] into one cup of water, stir with a spoon, and give [it] to the patient two spoons at a time, allowing a half-hour interval, until it causes evacuation from the mouth [i.e., vomiting]. When it begins to cause evacuation, give lukewarm water to drink, a half-cup at a time, allowing intervals. Number 2. Take one spoon of fresh (*t’azay*) linseed oil or olive oil, half a spoon of crushed salt, mix in six spoons of warm water, [and] in the morning on an empty stomach make [the patient] drink it all together. Number 3. Take half a *mskhal* of gold-root [rhodiola/ipecacuanha], beat [it] in six spoons of lukewarm water, [and] make [the patient] drink [it] on an empty stomach. Number 4. Take half a *grvank’ay* of dried black damson or *chanchur* [wild plum], place [them] in a clean vessel and pour four glasses of water over them; boil until two glasses remain. Strain cleanly and add into it one spoon of very finely crushed tartar [potassium bitartrate] (if you do not find tartar, then mix into it eight *mskhal*s of manna), and give half [of it] to drink at bedtime; if it does not purge within four hours, give the remainder to drink as well. Number 5. Take eight *mskhal*s of Glauber's salt or English salt [Epsom salt], dissolve [it] in one glass of warm water; after it cools, in the morning on an empty stomach make [the patient] drink it all together.
