A man or woman who has kidney stones should drip three drops of tar, three drops of leek juice, and three drops of clear wine on his or her sexual organ. If this remedy does not work, he should take the handle of a vessel and hang it on his sexual organ; a woman should hang it on her breast. If this, too, does not help, he should take a thread spun by a woman suspected of adultery, the daughter of an adulterous woman, and hang it on his sexual organ; a woman should hang it on her breast. If this, too, does not help, he should take a louse and hang it, via a thread, on his sexual organ; a woman should hang it on her breast. When urinating, one should hang a branch of dry thorns on the door hinges. He should intend, when urinating in an attempt to remove the stone, that he will keep the stone when it passes, for the stone can heal all sorts of illnesses which are accompanied by fever.
