Coral. Corallium.

• P. The red in India, and the Tyrrhene sea, the black in Spain.
• M. Of an arboreous. stone, hardened by aire: So Ru. Caes.
• N. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Arab. Bassad, Morgen, besd. Corallum.

Coral. Schrod. K. as the male or red, female or pale, white, black, green, yellowish, ash-coloured, and dusk coloured. T. all corall dry∣eth, cooleth, and bindeth. V. it strengthneth chiefely the heart, then the stomach and liver. it purifieth the bloud, and therefore resisteth the plague, poyson, and malignant feavers; also it maketh a man merry; but the black maketh melancholy. it stoppeth all fluxes of the belly, womb, and yard. It prevents the gonorrhoea, and epilepsie in children, 10 gr. thereof being given to the infant in the mothers milk, before the taking of any other thing, as soone as it is borne. Out∣wardly it helps ulcers, filling them with flesh. it extenuates cicatri∣ces; it helps the eyes, and stoppeth the weeping of the same; in colly∣ries it recreates the sight: the D. is scrup. 1. to drach. 1. Paracels. the bright and shining helps against feares, fascinations, inchauntments, poysons, the epilepsie, melancholy, & as some say against the insults of evill spirits, and lightnings, (which every one may censure) the white hanged to the breast helpeth the hemorrage of women. C. the best is the red or masculine, which is to be understood as often as it is prescribed without mention of the colour, the next is the pale, then the white, last the black: that of other colours is neither used, nor commonly accounted for true corall. Diosc. it meanly cooleth, restrai∣neth

excrescencies: it helps the cicatrices of the eyes, cleansing the same, it stops the evacuation of bloud, helps the difficulty of urine, and lessens the spleen being drunk in water. That called antipa∣thes, being black, hath the same vertues. Caes. corall exhilerates the heart, helps the formina, evils of the bladder and stone, being pow∣dered by the help of fire, and drunk in water, so Matth. Plin. Myl. and Ru. some say it resisteth tempests, as Ru. Myl. drunk in water it causeth sleep. Plin. Ru. it preventeth danger. Plin. Ru. Bras. it helpeth children. Myl. hanged to the neck or armes it prevents fascination and poysons: Bras. as also melancholy, the epilepsie, and apoplexie. Myl. Matth. it helps the falling sicknesse being taken. Matth. Myl. it restraineth the menses, fastens the teeth, rectifieth the gummes, and helps ulcers of the mouth, drunk it helps the dysentery, flux of sperme, night pollutions, and stops the whites in women. Myl. being ta∣ken with harts horne, and raine water, it helps diverse diseases of the body, especially the wormes. Myl. Ru. being powdered and put into hollow teeth, it draweth them forth, without pain. Myl. the Chy∣micall oile of corall taken in the q. of scrup. 1. in sack, helpeth all diseases of the parts, both inward and outward; in 5 weeks space. it cureth the falling sicknesse both in children and young people, as also all fluxes, of the belly, womb, or bloud, in any part. Ru. white corall hanged to the breast, so that it may touch the stomach stoppeth bloud flowing out of the nostrils; also it strengthens the heart and stomach, either being taken inwardly or applyed. Ru. the powder of corall makes bitter water sweet. some say also that it helpeth fruits; but it's censured by Rueus. Plin. Matth. Bras. Ru. also many use it by way of ornament, &c. Schrod. Hartm. in Pract. The salt of corall, made by the spirit or acid liquour of pockwood, doth mightily purify the blood in the french pocks: the D. is gr. 6. to 20. the vertues are to be seen before. The magisterie of corall, differs not from the salt in sub∣stance, vertues, or dose. The oile or liquour of corall, besides the foremen∣tioned vertue of corall, doth also help the stone: the D. is gr. 4. to 15. The essence and tincture, as they are of a more operose preparation, than the salt or magistery, so also are they of more excellent vertue: the D. is 6 drops to 15. and more. The tincture of Basil, cureth those that are mad, or melancholick. Hartm. in Croll. That of Hartman, is of such vertue, that after the repeated use thereof, it will be impossible, that any impurity should remain in the bloud of the whole body: D. it's given in fit vehicles, from 3 drops to 10. this tincture de∣serveth to be well esteemed of by the practitioner, by reason of its excellent vertues, as agreeing very well with the spirits of mans,

body. Hartm. in Croll. That by the spirit or water of honey, D. is given from 4 gr. to 12. Agric. That by the phlegme of Saturne, is an excellent cordiall, and doth mightily exalt the native balsame; and is of chiefe use in the feares of infants, and the epilepsie, &c. the D. is gr. 3 to 5. Langel. the Holsatick tincture of corall, is good in all affections ari∣sing from the impurity of bloud. The tincture of S. Closs. is good against contractures: the D. is drach. sem. alone. The succinate oile of corall, is good in the epilepsie and apoplexie, the D. is 4 drops to 8. The compounded syrup of corall, of Sr. Th. Mayerne, which is thence made, D. is given to one spoonefull morning, and evening, long from meales: the vertues thereof may be conjectured from those of corall and juyce of barberries: it's greatly commended in the diarrhoea, dysentery. hepatick, flux, and the restauration of the naturall faculties. hereof is made the diacorallion Pharm.
