and fmall Stones, are good againft old Coughs, 
and repel Poifons. Outwardly the whole Root re~ 
folves hot Tumours ; a Poultife of it laid to the 
Breads diminifhes Milk. The Seed is faid .to be 
good againft the Bite of venomous Beads, and an 
Antidote to Litharge. The bruifed Herb in a 
Poultife, laid to inflamed Eyes, gives them Eafe *, 
and takes oft the Bluenefs of Blows and Bruifes.

the Seed to the Root, tragus gives a Medicine for 
rhe Jaundice, Epilepfy, Stone, and Gravel, viz. 
Seeds of Parftey, Anife, and Carraway, of each an 
Ounce •, Roots of burnt Saxifrage, Parfley, and Car- 
raway, of each half an Ounce •, bruife the Seeds, cut 
the wafh’d Roots, infufe all in two Quarts of white 
Wine all Night, next Morning boil away a third 
Part of it in a clofe Veffel, ftrain it, Dofe four 
Ounces Evening and Morning, and fad three 
Hours after it. Parfley is bed fuited to old, phlegma- 
tic, and melancholic Perfons •, but agrees not with 
the young, hot, and bilious, or where the Blood 
was too thin before. The diftill’d Water is as good 
as Saxifrage Water, againft Children’s Gripes, 
either from Wind or Bile. A Scruple of powdered 
Anifeed, given in their Meat, eafes Gripes much, 
and it is Laxative. The Seed or Oil, taken at Bed- 
Time, is commended againft Hag-riding *, or a 
Dram or two of powdered Pasony Root, or fifteen 
Grains of its Seed, drank in an Emulfion at Bed- 
Time. To cure Children’s gauled or excoriated 
Parts, powdered Cudweed is the bed.
