\nPor la enfermedad de la tose será necesario flotarse la garganta con el dedo y beber el agua de la raíz llamada tlacopópotl o beber el agua que haya estado con cal, mezclada con chile, o beber el agua cocida del axenso de la tierra, o el agua de la raíz que se llama pipitzáhuac. Déstas bebidas en los grandes se entiende que se han de beber un cuartillo desta agua, y con los niños se les dará la cuarta parte de un cuartillo, con la cual echará las flemas o expelerá por abaxo. O beberse el agua de la yerba llamada iiztaquíltic. Y para las criaturas se terná este aviso, y es empapar tanto algodón como medio huevo en la propria agua de la dicha yerba, una vez o dos, esprimiéndose el agua que tomaren los algodones,

\nAbscesses on the neck should be healed by washing them with urine and applying the herbs mentioned above on them: grinding [the herbs], putting them on these abscesses, and placing an amount of salt around [the abscesses], [as well as] iztauhyatl, calcuechtli, [and] yapaxihuitl.1
\nFor the illness of coughing, it will be necessary to rub the throat with one’s finger and drink the water [infusion] of the root called tlacopopotl, to drink water steeped with quicklime and mixed with chile, or to drink water boiled with native wormwood or the water [infusion] of the root called pitzahuac. Regarding these infusions, it is understood that adults should drink one pint of this water, while children should be given one-fourth of a pint; and this will help them cough out the phlegm or expel it from below. Or [one should] drink the water [infusion] of the herb called iztaquiltic. And for babies, one should heed this advice: that is, soak a piece of cotton—the size of half an egg—in the same water [infusion] of this herb, once or twice, squeezing out the water that has been absorbed by the pieces of cotton
\niztauhyatl, calcuechtli, [and] yapaxihuitl: respectively, wormwood, soot, and (perhaps) a variety of amaranth root. See A&D, bk. 10, 149n9. The Spanish text fails to include the capulxihuitl (capulxivitl) plant, which appears in the Nahuatl column as capulxivitl.↩
