WInteran-bark, in
Latin Cortex Win∣teranus.
It turns up in
Pipes, like Cinnamon, but
is larger, and thicker; of
a light yellow Colour, and
of a very hot, biting Taste.
It comes from Nevis, An∣tego,
Montferrat, and o∣ther
Places. 'Tis Cepha∣lick,
and Stomachick; but
the chief Use of it is for
the Scurvy. Take of the
Conserve of Scurvy-grass,
Roman-Wormwood, and
Fumatory, each two Oun∣ces;
of the Powder of the
Winteran-Bark, and of the
Roots of Angelica and Wake
Robin, each two Drams;
of the Species of the three
Sanders one Dram and an
half, of the Powder of
Crab's-eyes one Dram, of
Salt of Wormwood two
Drams; with a sufficient
quantity of the Syrup of
the Bark of Citron make
an Electuary. This is good
for the Scurvy.
Indian Woad, or Indi∣co, in Latin Glastum Indi∣cum.
The Root is given
in Decoction, for the
Stone, and against Poy∣sons.
'Tis supposed that
Indico is proper for the
Jaundice.
