For the headache

Take camomile, sage wood, betony and chickenweed [wild purslane] and heat them all together on the hearth and lay it upon the crown of your head

For congestion in the head and in the nose

Take four parts of stale ale and four parts of mustard seed and two or three small nutmegs ground up and do all this in a glass that your nose goes in and set this on the fire in a panfull of water until it boils to some degree. Then take this pan that the glass stands in and put it under your nose and put cloths on top of your head and all the corruption [mucus] from your head will come out of your nose and make you whole.
