It varies the Flower, and , 
is fometimes white, but 
very rarely. 
’Tis Vomitive. , The 
Cou ntrey- people in Somer- 
fetjhire purge and vomit 
the Sick in Fevers with it. 
’Tis very good in the FalK 
ing-ficknefs, if you take 
two Handfuls of it, with 
four Ounces of Polypody 
of the Oak, andboyl them 
in Beer, and then drink it : 
For fomc have been cured 
by thisDcco&don that have 
had the Falling-ficknefs a- 
bovc twenty Years, and 
that ufc to have two or 
three Fits every Month. 
But thisMedicine muft be 
given only to ftrong Peo- 
ple, for it purges and vo- 
mits violently. Being bruif- 
ed , and applied to the 
King’s-Evil, or the Juice of 
it made into anOintment,

great many into ut-

Sun : Others mingle them

under Ground for forty 
Days j they fpread the 
Ointment on a Cloth, and 
apply them to the Swel- 
lings, and purge every fixth 
Day ; and, in the mean 
while , life continually a 
Dccodtion of the Herb Ro-

part of the Ointment they, 
anoint the Red Part of the 
Swelling; the thicker they

quantity of this Ointment 
ought to be provided; for 
fometimes it is a Year^and 
more, before the Cure is 
perfected. Tho* the Ulcers 
fhould grow large at frft, 
you need not be difebu* 
rag’d ; for when the Oint- 
ment has dried up all the 
Humour, the Ulcers will 
heal and skin. This Oint»
