Almond nuts, which are sweet, are especially hot and 
bring especially moist on people.  And Averroes says, 
that they cause growth of the brain and sweet sleep.  
Thereof are they useful for people, who study very (much) 
or stay up and become dry too much.  One should shell them 
and eat with white bread, if one wants not to eat more else.  
And who eats sugar thereto on bread, that is still better, 
because so it makes much blood, that is good.  Rhazes says, 
that they anoint the throat and make it smooth and are good 
for people, who cut the water of heat.  They make people gleam 
well and also almond milk does the same, but they become scarcely 
developed.  Averroes says, that almond makes very pure and 
clean the way and the members, where the water goes out of 
people, and is very useful for lean people.  And the oil, 
which comes from it, is good for the cramp, and he who 
anoints the backbone therewith, which it keeps for awhile, 
so that he does not become crooked in his age.
