Commentary for Avodah Zarah 56:7

ואי לא לייתי אודרא דנדא דלא משקיף וננח בה ולתלייה לאודניה להדי נורא ומיזדהר מזיקא ואי לא לייתי גובתא דקניא עתיקא בר מאה שנין ולימלחיה מילחא גללניתא ולקלי ולידבק וסימנך רטיבא ליבשתא ויבשתא לרטיבא

And if this is not possible he should take tow cotton which has been dyed but not combed and place it within the ear, which should be placed above a fire, taking precaution against sparks. Another remedy: Take a tube of an old cane [which has been detached from the soil] for about a century and fill it with rock salt, then burn it and apply the ashes [to the sore part]. [Take as] thy mnemonic [to remember how to apply the foregoing,] in liquid form to a dry sore, and in dry form to a wet sore.
