Contra la dolencia y enfermedad de la horquilla, que suele dar en los cabellos, es menestar cortarlos muy a raíz y rasparse muy bien la cabeza, y lavarla con orines, y untarla con una yerba que se dice nanacace. Y para quitar la yerba ha de ser lavado con orines. Y si no se cortasen los cabellos, se ha de lavar con orines, y untarse con axin, que es un ungüento amarillo, mezclado con el cisco de la chimenea; y después se ha de poner en la cabeza cierto barro negro que se usa para teñir de negro, y encima poner ciertos polvos de una corteza del palo que en la lengua mexicana se dice cuauhtepuztli, que es como alcornoque, salvo que es pesado.
\nContra la caspa será necesario cortar muy a raíz los cabellos, y lavarse la cabeza con orines, y después tomar las hojas de ciertas yerbas que en indio se llaman coyoxóchitl y yamolli o iztáuhyatl, que es el axenso desta tierra, o con el cuesco del aguacate molido y mezclado con el cisco que está dicho arriba, y sobre esto se ha de poner el barro negro que está ya referido, con cantidad de la corteza ya dicha.
\nContra la enfermedad de postillas y sarna que suelen nacer en la cabeza, se ha de usar el mismo remedio de rasparse la cabeza y lavarse con orines, y moler el cuesco del aguacate, y ponerlo en la cabeza o untarla con el agua que haya estado con la resina llamada óxitl, mezclada con la semilla molida del algodón o con el axenso desta tierra, calentándolo primero y poniéndolo en la cabeza.
