dry a Monrh, it becomes* 
fweet. Nicholas Chefneaw 
commends the J uice of 
Crowfoot ( I fuppoie he 
means the Bulbous ) in 
Head-aches, which ( fays 
he ) wonderfully moves 
the Pain. Chufe that 
Sort whofe Leaves are like 
the Leaves of Anemony, 
and bites theTongue when 
chewed ; beat the Leaves 
of it in a Marble Mortar ; 
and having applied a Plai- 
fter with an Hole in it, as 
is'made ule of in the Ap- 
plication of a Cauftick,put 
it on the Pain’d Part, and 
apply the Leaves, beaten, 
with the Juice in them, in 
the Hole of the Plaifter ; 
and then put another Plai- 
ner over, to keep them in; 
and in the fpace of two 
Hours it will open the 
Skin, efpecially if the Herb 
be gather’d in a Place 
where the Sun fhines. 
Note, The Hair muft be 
lhaved, and you muft take 
care not to apply it near 
the Eyes. He mentions 
many Obfervations of the 
Cure of the Head-ach by 
this Medicine. He ufed it 
in the Gout, with the fame 
Succefs. A Priefi, fays he, 
that had kept his Bed three 
lean with the Gout , and 
was not able to walk, was 
cured by applying Crowfoot to 
the Part itioft pained , after 
the Manner abov e-mention' 'd. 
Une that was ieized with 
the Plague, .and was in 
great danger, was cured 
by two Ifi’ues made in the 
Groin with the Leaves of 
Crow-foot, he having a 
Bubo there.
