MEdowort: Drinke the decoction or powder of it to stop the laske and all issues of blood. 2 Boile the flowers in white wine and drinke it to cure the feuer quarten. 3 Seeth the root in wine and Hony & drinke it to loose the belly & draw downe choller. 4 But sodden in red wine it stoppeth the bloody fluxe: Stampe the herbe with Mede & apply it to swellings, & to drawe forth pricks, splents. 5 Vse not the seede, for it causeth headach: Seeth it in fresh butter and streine it, and anoint therewith any burning or skalding.
