¶ The Vertues.
The iuice which is pressed out of the seeds, stalks, and leaues, as Dioscorides writeth, is a remedie [ A] for them that are bitten of the poisonsome spiders called in Latine Phalangia, and of vipers if it be drunke with wine.
And the herbe stamped with swines grease wasteth away the kernels by the throte. [ B]
Pliny teacheth that the leaues being applied do also stay the aboundance of bloud issuing out [ C] ofwounds.
Women do vsually make pottage of Cleuers with a little mutton and Otemeale, to cause lank∣nesse, [ D] and keep them from fatnesse.
