In Mull^ and fome other parts of the Highlands^ 

 the root of this plant is uled as a cure for the 

 tooth-ach, or any infiammation of the throat. 

 For this purpofe, a portion of the root, of the 

 fize of a nutmeg, is bruifed in a mortar with a 

 handful of daifies, the juice of it drained thro* 

 a linen rag, and a tea-fpoonful of it pour'd 

 into each of the patient's noftriis. This ftrange 

 application is immediately followed by a kind 

 - of falivation, or copious defiuxion of rheum 

 from the mouth and noftriis, which often ef- 

 iefts a cure, but not without great danger of 

 the patient's taking cold during the violence of 

 , ■ the operation. Mr. Stuari.
