The text which is readable above the  image is interpreted from me as follows:

Further from the readable part one can distinguish explanation in Czech language which is as follows:
"kuož hojt vižltennija"

heals the yellowing of the skin
Afterwards is not readable anymore..

"morfeam"- read as oLLmorfeanis in marginallia of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.  
It is leprous skin condition, as explained in "Gart..." further and was treated with mallow roots boiled in vinegar.
