¶ The Vertues.
The leaues of Sumach boyled in wine and drunken, do stop the laske, the inordinate course of [ A] womens sicknesses, and all other 〈◊〉〈◊〉 issues of bloud.
The seed of Sumach eaten in sauces with meat, stoppeth all manner of fluxes of the belly, the [ B] bloudy flix, and all other issues, especially the white issues of women.
The decoction of the leaues maketh haires blacke, and is put into stooles to fume vpward into [ C] the bodies of those that haue the Dysenterie, and is to be giuen them also to drinke.
The leaues made into an ointment or plaister with hony and vineger, staith the spreading nature [ D] of Gangraenes and Pterygia.
The drie leaues sodden in water vntill the decoction be as thicke as hony, yeeld forth a certaine [ E] oilinesse, which performeth all the effects of Licium.
The seed is no lesse effectuall to be strowed in pouder vpon their meats which are Coeliaci or Dy∣senterici. [ F]
The seedes pouned, mixed with honie and the powder of Oken coles, healeth the Hemor∣thoides. [ G]
There issueth out of the shrub a gum, which being put into the hollownesse of the teeth, taketh [ H] away the paine, as Dioscorides writeth.
