Fraxinella.
The Root, which, in a manner, is only used, is Cardiack, and A∣lexipharmick. 'Tis a good Preservative against the Plague, taken any way; and is reckon'd good a∣gainst Poyson, and the Bi∣ting of Venomous Crea∣tures. It kills Worms, a Dram of it being taken at a time. 'Tis used in cold Diseases of the Womb, and to force the Courses and Urine. It hastens Deli∣very, expels the Secun∣dine, and a dead Child, two Drams of it being ta∣ken in Wine. 'Tis also good for the Gripes, and Gravel. 'Tis also mix'd with Vulnerary Potions; and is used in the Falling-sickness, and for Diseases of the Head. The Roman Women make a Cosmetick of the distill'd Water; and they also use it for Inflam∣mations of the Eyes. The Cods and Flowers being touch'd, occasion Itching; and in hot Countries, burn the Skin.
