It ftrengthens the Stomach 
and Liver, excites Appe- 
tite, opens Obftrudtions, 
and cures Difeafes that are 
occafipn’dbythem; as, the 
Jaundice, Dropfie, and the 
like. ’Tis good in long, 
putrid Fevers, it carries off 
vitious Humours by Urine, 
it expels Worms from the 
Bowels , and preferves 
Clothes from Moths. The 
Juice, the diftill’d Water, 
the Syrup, the fixed Salt, 
and the Oyl of it are ufed 5 
but the Wine or Beer feems 
to be the beft. It ftrength- 
ens the Stomach, creates an 
Appetite, opens Obftru- 
ciions, and provokes U- 
rine. The Simple Water 
is more Languid, and of 
lefs Virtue. The fixed 
Salt, if it be wholly fepa- 
rated from the other Parts, 
by the force of the Fire, 
differs nothing, in my O- 
pinion, neither in Tafte 
s nor Virtue, from the 
Fixed Salt of any other 
Plant. A Scruple or half 
a Dram of the Salt, accor- 
ding to the Strength and 
Age of the Sick, taken in

mix’d with Lard, and ap- 
plied, cures Tumors of the 
Kernels ofthe Throat, and
