Virtue and Use. It is of good use to the Gums when they are putrid, swelled, over-grown and black; for it preserves them from putrefaction and cures them. Moreover it fastens loose Teeth, and covers them with new flesh, and amends other vices of the Mouth. It perfectly and suddenly heals the Cancer, Noli me tangere, Scurvy, Imposthume, Ulcers, Corrosion, &c. and takes away all impurities of the Gums. Use it morning and evening, or often in the day by rubbing the part affected, and let the Mouth be washed with Sage water or any other appropriate Liquor.
