The Vertues and Signature.
Bucks-horne Plantaine, boyled in wine and drunk, is very effectuall to help those that are troubled with the Stone in the Re••nes or K••dneys, not that it break∣eth the Stone or expelleth it, but by cooling the Heat of the parts and strength∣ening the Reines and Back. It stayeth likewise all bleedings and eruptions of Blood, whether at the Mouth or Nose, whether by Stoole or Urine, and helpeth the laske of the bowels and belly, and the Dysentery, or bloody Flux. It helpeth much also those that have weak Stomacks, that are so much given to casting or Vomiting, that they cannot retain their Meat; and this the Herbe doth well, but the root more effectually. The said decoction drunk, and some of the Leaves applyed to the place hurt, is an excellent Remedy for the b••ting of the Viper or Adder, which is supposed to be one and the same. It helpeth those that are troubled with the Collick▪ and is held profitable for Agues to weaken their fits and take them away, the Leaves being briused and laid to the Sides of them that have them; and the Leaves and Roots beaten with some Bay-Salt and applyed to the Hand-wrists, worketh the same effects. The Herb boiled in Ale or wine, and given for some Mornings and Evenings together, stayeth the Distillations of hot and sharp Rheums falling into the Eyes from the Head, and helpeth all manner of accidents that happen to the Eyes. Wart Cresses, which are called in Latine Coronopus R••ellii; and Nasturtium Verrucarium, because the seed of it beareth the perfect Signature of the Warts upon a mans hand, will consume and take away Warts in a short time, the herb being bruised and applyed; and so it stoppeth bl••••ding most effectually, having all the Virtues which are attributed to the for∣mer.
