Vertues and use.
The Seed of this Star-thistle made into
Pouder and drunk in Wine, provoketh Urine,* 1.1
and helpeth to break the Stone, and drive it
forth. The Root in Pouder and given in
Wine and drunk, is good against the Plague or
Pestilence, and drunk in the mornings fasting
for some time together, is very profitable for
a Fistula in any part of the Body. Baptista
Sardus doth much commend the distilled Wa∣ter
hereof being drunk, to help the French
Disease, to open Obstructions of the Liver,
and clense the Blood from corrupted Humors,
and is profitably given against Quotidian or
Tertian Agues.
