Cantsmtle , in Latin 
Cham&melum , There is fo 
much Camomile in Corn- 
wall, that you (cent it as 
you ride there on the 
Road, 
It digcfts,lcofncth, mol- 
lifies, eales Pain, provokes 
Urine and the Courlcs ; 
wherefore it is much us’d 
in the Cholick, and for 
Convullions that proceed 
from Wind. Among all 
the Plants that are us’d-in 
Baths for the Stone, none 
is fo effc&ual as the Flow* 
ers of Camomile. ’Tis 
outwardly us’d in Parcgo- 
rick, Emollient and Sup- 
purating Pultiffes, and for 
Clyfters. The Oyl of Ca- 
momile foftens hard Swel- 
ings, and difeuffes them, 
and cafes the Pain. Some 
drink a Deco&ion of it for 
the Stone. A Perfon that 
had the Stone , and had 
tried many Medicines to 
no purpofe, was wonder- 
fully relieved by the fol- 
lowing Remedy. I took, 
favs he, two Handfuls of the 
Flowers of the Common Ca- 
momile , which I infus'd in 
a Quart of Rhenijh-Wine , 
and digefted them in hot 
JJhes two Hours ; then I 
ftrain'd the Liquor, and ad- 
ded two Handfuls more of 
the Flowers , and digefted 
them as before ; and repeat- 
ed the fame a third time ; 
but the laft time it muft be 
infus'd no longer time than 
Afparagus or Fijh ' are wont 
to be boyld in . It is to he no- 
ted, that this Docottion is 
render'd fo fait , that one 
would think a good quantity 
of Salt had been dijfolv'd in
