For falling hair

...or under one or two temples, it says, so Pliny says that hair grows for some days, or [on] the bodies of the dead. According to the falling of hair, the juice of the herb nafuris unknown herb, possibly a variant name is profitable, as [is] rosemary with honey, [which] restores the hair. Put the polluted [hair] from disgust in water for three days, and afterwards shear [it] and boil in oil, and [with] goose fat, and mix [it] with [it], and anoint the head while it is warm, and the hair will be reborn. Or ground agrimony with goat lard, place upon the head, and it will be as effective so that thick hair may grow. Mix the bark of the ash and [with] ground [roots], anoint, and thus the hair will not fall. [Whatever] glue [you find], mix it with oil and anoint the head.

Concerning Sleep, Chapter 7, of the Second [Book]

Sleep is nothing other than [the resting] of many things, for the soul in the middle seat ceases to differ, [as] it says in the book De sompno et vigilia On Sleep and Waking. Sleep is not the powerlessness of the sight of the eyes, [but] born in the interior, or the sending of the sentiment properly. And so for one year or [for] the fourth [part], [one] does not sleep; [however], there are found humans who never sleep, as he said, and [some] who have not slept except in old age. And by what manner it happened there, as by death or infirmity. Stupor is sometimes of the mind, as Pliny says, [and] sleep with closed eyes. If anyone cannot sleep because he labors in sleepiness, use this [remedy]: put the apples of mandrake [and] you will be intoxicated, and [it] dispels and...

[add] the seeds of white poppy and leaves and seed of purslane and lettuce, and the seed of the gourd, and its rhoia unknown medicinal term, and the navel of Venus a type of succulent, which is madrogoratum mandrake oil, which may be used to anoint the temples, the wall of the forehead, and the nostrils, [and] by the hand it is also valuable. Furthermore, for the desire of [defecating] the color... or to provoke sleep, let a fomentation be made for the feet from the water of the decoction of the herb of violets, mixed with mallow, [and] seeds of poppy, and [seeds of] lettuce... [and] put [it] upon the head. Because of too much [heat], rub the walnuts, and on the forehead and the sole of the feet [apply] rose oil, so that it may soften, or poplar [ointment], and the water of the decoction, as vinegar, [and] place upon the temples; it is effective.
Lethargy, which is otherwise, as it is clear, which is oblivion

Lethargia Lethargy is a phlegmatic aposteme in the brain, [which] is born for the movement of oblivion; hence [it is called] litargia from the Greek word for oblivion, which is oblivion, which is [the] oblivion of the eyes, closed and [with] fever, [and] the humor is [gross]. The patient scarcely sees, [and] opens [the eyes] soon, [then] returns to sleep. Urine is white and thick and fluid, [and] he snores. Place the patient in a very bright place, let him have frequent [sprinkling] of cold water, or wine, [and] let him be stirred by [pulling] the hair, so that the pain may come. [If] someone talks to him, and he sweats, use the smoke of vinegar so that he may be purged through the warm [vapors]... let the head be anointed with laurel oil, and let a poultice be made for the head, purging [it] with a little euphorbium, [and] sprinkled [to induce] sweet sneezing.
