Los hoyos y asperezas del rostro que suelen proceder de viruelas o de otras semejantes enfermedades se curan tomándose los orines calientes y lavarse el rostro, y después untarse con chile amarillo molido, y después desto se ha de tornar a lavar con orines o con el zumo del axenso de la tierra, y lavarse siempre con el zumo caliente de la yerba llamada en la lengua azpa. Y después beberá el zumo de la yerba nombrada tlatlauhqui, mezclado con agua, con todo lo cual se expelerá por la orina sangre o materia o arenas.
\nAprovechará también mucho purgarse y guardarse del vino y de grosura y de pescado y de otras cosas que pueden dañar.
\nCuando comienza el dolor de los ojos será provechoso moler la yerba nombrada iztecáuhtic míxitl, y ponerla a la redonda dellos, o echar en los ojos ciertas gotas de pulque trasnochado o serenado o el zumo de las hojas del cerezo, o la leche de la yerba o cardo llamado en la lengua chicálotl, o el zumo de los grumos del árbol del mizquite. Y dende a pocos días, echar algunas gotas de la yerba llamada tonalchichicaquílitl o la leche de la yerba nombrada tlachinoltétzmitl. Aprovechará también purgarse y beber cierto brebaje llamado xoxouhcapatli, y mojarse con él la cabeza, y no será malo sangrarse.
