Vertues and Use.
Tutsan purgeth Chollerick Humors as St. Peters wort is said to do, for therein it wor∣keth the same effects, both to help the Sciatica and Gout, and to heal burnings by fire: It stayeth also the bleeding of Wounds, if either the green Herb be bruised, or the pouder of the dry be applied thereto.* 1.1 It hath been ac∣counted and certainly is a soveraign Herb to heal any Wound or Sore either outwardly or inwardly, and therfore alwaies used in Drinks, Lotions, Balms, Oyls, Oyntments for any sort of green Wound, or old Ulcers and Sores, in all which the continual experience of for∣mer Ages hath confirmed the use thereof to be admirable good, though it be not so much in use now as when Physitians and Chirurgeons were so wise as to use Herbs more than now they do.
It is an Herb of Saturn and a most noble Antivenerian.
