[di]versas yerbas, cociéndose mucho y mezclándose con pepitas y chile, y procura de comer siempre tarde; y los correos o mensajeros que van muy de priesa suelen beber esta agua, caminando, para que no se les abra el pecho.
\nPara las mujeres que tienen poca leche en las tetas, será necesario moler la raíz llamada zayanalquíltic, y beberla dos o tres veces, saliendo del baño, y lavándose primero los pechos con el tequixquite, con la cual primera leche que sobreviniere desta cura la criatura se corromperá algún tanto, y para acaballe de purgar será bueno darle dos o tres gotas desta agua, empapando un poco de algodón, como esta dicho. El ama no coma aguacates, y beba el agua cocida de calabazas blancas o de la yerba llamada cuetlaxxúchitl, y coma asado el vergajo de los perrillos, o comer el izcahuitli.
