Pemell, Robert.
The inward use.
The white being boyled in broth doth loosen the belly and pro∣voketh to stoole, but nourisheth little or nothing. The juyce of the white Beets cleanseth and provoketh urine, openeth the stopping of the Liver and Spleene, and is good for the Head-ach, the swiming therein, and is effectuall against all venemous creatures. The red stay∣eth the Bloody-flixe, womens courses, and the whites, and helps the yellow Jaundise.
