VVAllwort is an Herb▪ well known, and groweth in a fat ground, and hath leaves, flouers, and seed like Elder, and is of such vertue that it is to be wondred at, for if it were brought unto us from farr Countries, it would be accounted above all other hearbs, but being so familiar among us, we make no account thereof. This Herb called Wallwort or Dainwort, by his propertie and nature provoketh vomit
and dissolveth the bodie, if ye drinke the juyce thereof, or eat the Hearb green: The water distilled of this Root being drunke, and applied outwardly with wet clothes unto the Gout, it taketh away the pain. If ye give the juyce of this Hearb with Sirrup of Acetose to drink, it will help frantick Fevers. The pouder of his leaves hath great operation in all sorts of putrified Ulcers, because it taketh away the pain, mun∣difieth, and incarnateth, with divers other vertues, the which if I should write them they would not be credited, and there∣fore I leave it to the Experimentor.
