Wild Tansie stayeth the Lask, and all Fluxes* 1.1 of Blood in men or women, which some say it will do if the green Herb be worn in the shoos, so it be next the Skin, and 'tis true e∣nough that 'twil stop the Terms if worn so, and the Whites too for ought I know. It stay∣eth also spitting or Vomiting of Blood.* 1.2 The
Pouder of the dried Herb taken in some of the distilled Water helpeth the Whites* 1.3 in women, but more especially if a little Coral and Ivory in Pouder be put to it: It is also much com∣mended to help Children that are bursten, and have a Rupture being boyled in Water and Salt. Being boyled in Wine and drunk, it easeth the griping pains of the Bowels, and is good for the Sciatica and Joynt Aches. The same boyled in Vinegar with Honey and Al∣lum, and gargled in the Mouth, easeth the pains of the Toothach, fastneth loose Teeth, helpeth the Gums that are sore, and setleth the pallat of the Mouth in its place when it is fal∣len down: It clenseth and healeth the Ulcers in the Mouth or secret parts, and is very good for Inward Wounds, and to close the lips of green Wounds; as also to heal old, moist, cor∣rupt running Sores in the Legs or elswhere: Being bruised and applied to the Soles of the Feet, and the Hand-wrests, it wonderfully cooleth the hot fits of Agues, be they never so violent. The distilled water clenseth the skin of all discolourings therein, as Morphew, Sun∣burning &c. as also Pimples, Freckles, and the like; and dropped into the Eyes or cloaths wet therein and applied, taketh away the heat, and Inflamations in them.
Now Dame Venus hath fitted women with two Herbs of one name, one to help Concep∣tion, the other to maintain beauty, and what more can be expected of her? What now re∣mains for you but to love your Husbands, and not to be wanting to your poor Neighbors.
