It is used against the diseases of the Lungs, & for Coughs, Wheesings, and shortnesse of breath, & also against spitting of bloud and pissing of bloud: it stayeth the Reds in Women, and stoppeth the fluxes of the belly, and stayeth vomiting. The shepherds do give it to their sheep (with Salt) that be troubled with the Cough, and be broken-winded, and they give it also to other cattel for the same purpose.

The manner of administring it.

It is given in powder, or in decoction.

The outward use.
