CHAP. XX. Of the Gum Caranna, and the Medicinall properties of it.

TAke it, and distill it in a retort with the yolks and whites of eggs, and there will come forth oyle and water, the oyle whereof will be black, and the water red.

The water of Caranna helpeth Chilblains, and all chops or clefts in the lips arising of cold in the winter.

It is a great ease, for the sore breasts of women that give suck.

The oyle worketh wonderfull effects in wounds of the head, arm or legs.

Annoint a simple wound therewith once or twice, and it will very speedily be healed.

Take a quantity of this Gum, and mix it with as much of the seed of water-cresses, and the white of an egg, and make thereof a Cerot to apply unto a Rupture, wherewith it will in short time be healed, all other circumstances being also ob∣served.
