"To ma!e hairs part smooth."

Because sometimes a part is deformed with abundance ofhair, or for lack of hair, I shall show how to make a smooth partthick with hair, and a hairy part smooth by epilatories.

Boil them.#ry with a He&feather, when that is made bare with it, it isboiled. #ake heed you boil it not too much, or that it stay not toolong upon your skin, for it will burn. But if it chance to burn yourskin, take Poplemand 2ilof Rosesor iolets, and anointthe place, and the pain will be gone. #his must be done in abath, but if you cannot ha!e one, let the woman be co!ered withcloths !ery well, and let it be cast on burning stones or tiles, thatshe may recei!e the fume of it, and sweat. After she has sweat,let her wash herself with water, and wipe it off. #hen let heranoint herself all o!er, for the parts anointed such, will presently

be smooth. And thus may all parts be kept free from hair. #he$&cie&tsused these as 'a+er&a, and as arroreports andteaches in his book of Hsba&dry. If, says he, you would makeanyone smooth from hair, cast a pale ro%into water, and boil itto a third part, and with that anoint the body. By the pale ro%we must understand a Toad.

There is a certain Pla%eof the hair that befalls them, andbreaks, cuts,and takes the hair $uite off from the head. I will addthe remedies presently, whereby to take them away. It ishealthful, in these diseases, to apply bitter things to kill theseorms, called Ti&ersor 'yre&s. #ake the flowers of #yrtletrees, room-clary, boil them in i&e%ar , till the i&e%ar isconsumed, then rub the ends of the hair continually with it. Alsogrind bitter 1pi&esinto fine meal, boil them in i&e%ar, andthen rub the hairs between the hands. For this will kill these'yre&s, and dri!e them away. But I used !ery hot read, newlytaken forth of the o!en, cut in the middle, and putting the hairbetween them till they grow cold.

hapter *))"How to ma!e the hair crl."

urled hair seems to be no small grace and ornament to thehead. And women that use painting do all they can to curl thehair. If you will know how,

"To crl the hair,"Boil #aide&hairwith 'malla%eseed in i&e, adding a good$uantity of 2il. for this will make the hair curled and thick.Pli&y. oreo!er, if you put the root of a++odilsinto i&e,and pour this often on the head, being sha!ed, it will make thehair curl the more, as the same author says. 'r else, rise theroot of war+ 6lder, with the 2il, and anoint the head

therewith, and i&dthe lea!es of the same upon the head."ome say that Camel0s&%will curl the hair. 'r else, poundthe ashes of a Ram0shorn, with 2il, and with that, anoint thehead often, being first sha!ed. "o also, will the ashes ofChest&tsor Hed%eho%do, if you with Ho&eysmear the headwith it.

blac!."

Before we lea!e of to speak of hair, I shall show how to makethe eyebrows black. Because women are desirous of this as therest. #he 0reeks call them Calliblephara, that is, fair eyebrows.Wherefore the$&cie&tsused,

"To dye the eyebrows,"with black earth like irmeor 'ea-Cole. Being burned, it is a!ery fine black. And it is added to those remedies that ser!e todye the eyebrows and the hair black. 'r else with the #arrowof an 2/ bone taken out of the right leg before, and beaten with'oot is good to die the hair and faulty eyebrows, and the

corners of the eyes. Also, 'ootis tempered for this purpose,with the smoke of paper, and 2il of 'esama. #he 'ootbeingwiped off of a new !essel with a eather. #he 8er&elsofatesburned in a new earthen pot, and the ashes washed,ser!e instead of 'podim. And they are mingled with eyesal!es. And they make Calliblepharaadding 'pi!e&ardthereunto. And if they are not well burnt, burn them again. AlsoRoselea!es are fit to burn for the same use. Also, you mayamend your eyebrows thus. #ake 1abda&m, and beat it withi&e, and mingle 2il of #yrtleswith it, and make a !ery thick2i&tme&t. 'r I&+se in 2ilthe black lea!es of the #yrtletree,

with a double $uantity of Gallsrised, and use that. I usethis. Gallsare fried in 2il, and they are ground with a little'alt-$mmo&iac. And then mingled with i&e%ar, wherein thePillsof the #lberryand rambleha!e been boiled. Withthese anoint the eyebrows, and let it abide on all night. #henwash it off with water. But if you would,
