 in ciigiifh, Pellitorie of Spaine ; and of fome, Bertram, after the Dutch name : and this is the 

 right pyretfouv, or PeUirone of Spaine; for that which diuers here in England take to bee the 

 r j|ht,is not fo, as I haue before noted: 



^ T be Temper Mure and Vertues. 

 The root of Pellitorie of Spaine is very hot and burning, by reafon whereof it taketh away the A 

 cold thiuering of Agues, that rjaue been of long continuance, and is good for thofe that are taken 



with a dead palfie, as Diofcorides writeth. 



The fame is with good fuccelTe mixed with Antidotes or counterpoyfons which feme aoainft B 

 the megrim or continuall paine of the head, the dizzinefle called Vertigo, the apoplexy, the falling 

 /IcknefTe, the trembling of the finewes, and palfics, for it is a lingular good and effectual! remedy 

 for all cold and continuall infirmities of the head and finewes. 



Pjrtthrum taken with hony is good againft all cold difeafes of the brainc. q 



The root chewed in the mouth draweth forth great ftore of rhcume, flime, and filthy waterifh D 

 humors, and eafeth the paine of the teeth, efpecially if it be ftamped with a little Stauef-acre and 

 tied in a fmall bag, and put into the mouth, and there fuffered to remaine a certainc fpace. 



If it be boiled in Vineger, and kept warme in the mouth it hath the fame effec*. 



The oyle wherein Pellitorie hath been boy led is good to anoint the body to procure fweating 

 and is excellent good to anoint any part that is bruifed and blacke, although the member be de- 

 clining to mortification : it is good alfo for fuch as are ftriekcri with the palfie. 



It is moft lingular for the Surgeons of the Hofpitals to put into theirvnflions contra Neapolita- G 

 mm mrfam, and fuch other difeafes that be coufin gerrmnes thereunto^
