¶ The Vertues.
The leaues stamped, and the iuyce dropped into the eyes easeth the inflammation thereof; and [ A] cureth the disease of the eye called Argema, whereof it tooke his name: which disease when it hap∣neth on the blacke of the eye it appeares white; and contrariwise when it is in the white then it ap∣peareth blacke of colour.
The leaues stamped and bound vnto the eyes or face that are blacke or blew by meanes of some [ B] blow or stripe, doth perfectly take it away. The dry herbe steeped in warme water worketh the like effect.
The leaues and roots stamped, and the iuyce giuen in drinke, helpeth the wringings or gripings [ C] of the belly. The dry herbe infused in warme water doth the same effectually.
The herbe stamped, cureth any wound, vlcer, canker, or fistula, being made vp into an vnguent [ D] or salue, with oile, wax, and a little turpentine.
The iuyce taken in the weight of two drammes, with wine, mightily expelleth poyson or ve∣nome. [ E]
