Pemell, Robert.
The hurtfull Quality, with the correcting means.
The root of White Brionie doth much trouble the Stomach, head, and other parts: therefore it must not be given to delicate bodies, nor where the spirits are low: for though it have a specifick ver∣tue for the Diseases of the Brain before mentioned, yet it offends the weak. The hurtfull Quality hereof is taken away in part by adding to it Ginger, Cinamon, Quince, or such like. The same is also very dangerous for Women with Child, however it be given, for it causeth Abortion, or miscarrying.
