^f The Verities . 



Touching the vertues hereof, it is found out by ex- 

 periment of fome of the later Phyfitians, that the de- 

 ration of the roots of this yellow Daffodil do purge 

 by liege tough and flegmatick humors, and alfo wate- 

 rifli, and is good for them that are full of raw humors, 

 efpecialiy if there be added thereto a little anifc feed 

 and Ginger,which will corre<3 the churlifli hardnefle 

 of the working. 



The diftilled water of Daffodils doth cure the pal. 

 fie, if the Patient be bathed and rubbed with the favd 

 liquor by the fire. It hath been proued by an efpcciall 

 and trufty friend of mine,a man leamcd,and a diligent 

 fearcher of nature,M r Nicolas £e//0/»,fomtime of Kings 

 CoIIedge in Cambridge.
