[ A] The barke of the roote of Capers is good against the hardnesse and stop∣ping of the milt, to be taken with Oximel, or mingled with oyles & oyntments fit for that purpose, & applyed or layd to outwardly vpon the place of the milt.
[ B] Also they vse with great profite to giue of this roote in drinke, to suche as haue the Sciatica, the Palsie, and to them that are brused or squat, or haue fal∣len from aboue.
[ C] It stirreth vp womens desyred sicknesse, & doth so mightily prouoke vrine, that it waxeth blooddy, if it be to muche vsed and in to great a quantitie.
[ D] It cleanseth olde vlcers and rotten sores that are harde to heale, and layde to with vineger, it taketh away fowle white spottes and morphew.
[ E] The fruite and leaues of Capers haue the lyke vertue as the rootes, but not so strong, as Galen sayth.
[ F] The seede of Capers boyled in vineger, and kept warme in the mouth, swageth toothe ache.
[ G] The iuyce of the leaues, flowers and young fruite of Capers, killeth the wormes of the eares when it is dropped in.
[ H] The Capers preserued in salt or pickel, as they be brought into this Coun∣trie, being washed, boyled, and eaten with vineger, are meate and medicine: for it stirreth vp appetite, openeth the stoppinges of the liuer and milt, consumeth and wasteth the colde flemes that is gathered about the stomacke. Yet they nourishe very litle or nothing at all, as Galen saith.
