with twenty Drops of Oil of Tartar, taken every 
Day thrice, for fome Time, is an excellent Remedy 
for the Jaundice. The Herb opens Gbdrudtions of 
the Liver and Spleen, as well as purges the Bread: 
and Lungs from Phlegm ; or caufes the Menfes , 
and expels the Lochia and Secundine ; or outwardly 
cleanfes, digelts, and is good for the Itch, and running 
Tetters-, young People, efpecially bilious and fan- 
guine, mull not be fo free with it, as the old and 
phlegmatic. Too long and free Ufe of it hurts or 
endangers the Kidnies and Bladder, and expofes 
them to Exulcerations. Mathiclus fays, that two 
Ounces frefh, boil’d in three Pints of good white 
Wine, till, a half is wailed, with Roots ofBuglofs, 
Elecampane, and Agrimony, of each a Dram and 
a half*. Rhubarb and Lign-aloes, of each a Dram ; 
Dofe two Ounces every Morning, for nine Morn- 
ings, in the Jaundice ; but he fays, Aguilh People 
fhould make this Decoction with Water. A Stove 
of the Decodtion of this Herb, fat over, is excel- 
lent for the Whites. A Waih of the Decoction heals 
moift or dry Scabs. The Herb put in new Milk, 
and fet in a Place peiler’d with Flies, kills them 
all quickly. The Herb, ufed for the Menfes , fhould 
be ufed with Tincture, or Syrup of Steel, but not 
to the Sanguine. Ground-ivy, in Difeafes of the 
Lungs and Bread, fhould be ufed to the young San- 
guine, indead of the Horehound. A Decodtion 
of Elorehound, boil’d up to the Confidence of a 
.thin Syrup, is good for Spitting of Blood. This 
Difeafe I knew cured in a young Man, when all 
other things fail’d, by the fine Powder of old dried 
Horfe Bones, boil’d in Ate to a Confidence, then 
added Powder of Irijh Slate, and Sugar-Candy ; 
Dofe half a fmall Spoonful of it.
