〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, a terrestrial Animal, like to a Cro∣codile, it is found in the Country of Melanitis. The extremity of its Tail and the Kidneys e∣levate the Member to Venery, given in Drink.
A Salamander is a four-footed Animal, great∣er than the green Lizard: And it lives among Brambles and Bushes. Its Heart carried about one, makes the Bearer to be without fear against Fire, and bold against burning, and incombu∣stible. The Animal therefore put in the Chimney or Fire, extinguishes all the flame. And if you hang the Heart of it about the neck of one in a Fever, presently the Fever will be extinguished. And if a Woman carry it about her knees, she will by no means con∣ceive, nor have her Menstrua, yea they will be stopt. And if you tie it up in a black skin, and hang it at ones Arm, it takes away a Ter∣tian, and a Hemitritaeus, and a Quartan, and every Fit of an Ague. And the ashes of it burnt, strewed upon Warts, kill them, and root out Corns of the feet, and draw them out speedily.
