It is of great virtue in soft∣ning and resolving; for it digests, softens, and resolves even hard and scirrhous Tu∣mors, Tophs, Nodes, and Scro∣phula's of the Joints and prin∣cipal Members, and eases their vehement pains; as also the pains of the Brest, Shoulders, Duggs, Hypochonders, Sides,
Stomach, Liver, Spleen, Reins, Womb, and Joints; proceeding from cold Defluxions, crude Humors, Flatulency, or other cold indispositions of the Parts. It is said to take away Warts and Corns, in a short time. But above all, it is powerful against the Kings-evil, whether new, or of long continuance; for that it softens the Tumors, gives ease, concocts, digests, incides, and dissolves them. Applied to the place pained, in the Megrim, it eases it; it strengthens the Nerves and Womb. It is good against Convulsions, and cures the bitings of mad Dogs; as also the stingings or woundings of Scorpions, and other poi∣sonous Creatures.
