THe best Water of the Flowers of the Elder, oft drawn up in the nose, doth help the smelling, that is diminished by some great sickness.
In the exulceration of the nose by a salt defluxion, the water of the flow∣ers and bark are profitable, seeing they deterge, dry, and conglut inate.
In a greater exulceration, where the flesh is too proud, the spirit of the salt is needful, which being mixt with
the rest, it consumes the proud flesh, and hindreth further putresaction. See the Chapter of curing ulcers.
Gabel Rover doth commend the Spunges that grow on the stock of the Elder, being dryed, pulverised, and gi∣ven in a fit liquor, for staying the He∣morage of the nose.
Tragea Granorum actes, which is described in the cure of the Dyscente∣ry, is good in this case. The dose half a drachme, or two scruples, in a spoon∣ful or two of Quercetans Corralline Syrup, or in the Styptick red Wine, or in the distilled water of the Sperm of Frogs, Shepherds purse, or Purslain, &c. or make a Powder of the equal parts of Tragea, and the little sponges, which is both to be taken in the men∣tioned liquors, and lightly and easily to blown into the nostrils.
