“When you examine a woman for whom many years have
passed without her menstruation coming. She vomits
something like Hbb.t-water; her belly is like one under fire
(inflamed); it stops after she vomits. You should conclude: it is
an increase of the level of blood in her uterus due to a spell.

1/64 Incense; 1/16 Chufa. You shall put boiled milk of a cow
with the bone marrow of a calf’s leg, place this in milk. Drink for
4 days.”
