colourless mucilage, very salutary in cases of internal irritation. 
Decoctions of the leaves are sometimes employed in dysenteries, 
heat, and sharpness of urine, and in general for obstructing acri- 
monious humours ; but their principal use is in emollient glys- ; 
ters, cataplasms, and fomentations. `
