"Bald's Leechbook" is a medieval medical book written in Anglo-Saxon. This book, written around the 9th century, outlines how British doctors treat a range of diseases. The book is currently housed in the British Library in London.

The title of the book comes from a piece of inscription found in the book:

This book was created by my Byrd scribe scribe Cild. I hope that no one will steal or swindle the book from me, because for me, there is nothing more precious than the book.

If it weren't for the amazing discovery earlier this year, the treatments described in this strangely written book might continue to be considered an ancient medical anecdote. Scientists from the United Kingdom have unexpectedly discovered that a treatment for eye infections in medical books can effectively treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. According to data from the Center for Disease Control, this superbug caused about 5,000 deaths in the United States in 2013. The prescription is a mixture of garlic, wine and beef bile, boiled in a bronze pot and placed for nine days. Scientists from the University of Nottingham Biomolecular Science Center and Texas Tech University tested the researchers and surprised the researchers. The mixture can kill up to 90% of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Obviously this formula needs further research on inflammation, but the initial results make the scientists happy and confused, but in any case, it is good. So what other secrets are there in this book?

Some other ancient therapies include:

● To treat headaches: Use a red cloth to tie a little cross grass to your head.

● Treatment of frostbite: Mix eggs, fennel roots and wine, and apply them in large quantities.

● Treatment of herpes zoster: It can be treated with ointments made of 15 kinds of bark, including eucalyptus, eucalyptus and apple trees.

● Treatment of male impotence: use milk to cook dragon's teeth, if you cook with malt, it will make the situation worse.

● Treatment of excessive bleeding: Apply horse dung to the wound.

● Toothache: Put a burning candle as close as possible to the teeth and force the insects that cause the pain out of the teeth.

● Black Death: Cut the wound and apply a mixture of garlic and butter.

●Cough and small abscess: using aroma resin, this method can also be used for fever and various hallucinations.

● Kidney stones: Take it with honey and pigeon dung.

However, the strangest treatment is for people with mental illness. Therapies for various mental illnesses include drinking crude oil, whipping with ropes made of dolphins or dolphins, and religious rituals: mixing with cumin, a variety of onions, and singing the masses to it every morning. Drink, drink for 9 days, and let him give Others, pray that God will let him recover.

This medical book even includes surgery to repair the rabbit's lips: "Crush the resin of the Boswellia chinensis, add the egg white... Cut the edges of the lips on both sides of the split with a knife, then sew it with silk, and then apply the mixture to the wound. Otherwise the thread will rot."

But now, researchers are still focusing on the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
