The vertues.
1. The whole fish cut into two parts is laid upon the pulses of the hands, and soles of the feet, to miti∣gate the heat of Fevers, or to divert the pestilential venom. In like manner it is used in the pain of the head and joynts. Living Tenches (one after ano∣ther) applyed on the navel and liver until they dye, are said to cure the Jaundise, for they attract the yellow colour. I have seen a Tench burnt to ashes (especially the skin) with successe given in the whites of women.
2. The gall is commended against the diseases of the ears.
3. In the head it hath a stone as the Carp, which may be used for the same diseases that the stone of the Carp is.
