Lime-Tree: The Leaves and Bark of this Tree repel, dry and provoke Urin: A Mucilage made of the Bark is good in Burns and Wounds. The Leaves bruised and sprink∣led with Water, discuss Swel∣lings in the Feet. The Flow∣ers are cephalick, and of a ve∣ry fragrant Scent. The di∣stilled Water is much in esteem for the Apoplexy, Falling-Sickness, and Giddiness; the Dose being from an ounce to an ounce and a half. It is likewise a great Beautifier of the Face; and drank with Water of Camomil it cures the Gripes. The Berries dry∣ed till reduced to powder, are much commended for the Bloody-flux, and other Fluxes of the Belly. Being mixed with Vinegar, and put up the Nostrils, the Bleeding at the Nose is stayed.
