Lib. I. 
XXIX. The Colly n um. It is made of the Liquid 
Juice , or hijcncr. mixt with an equal quantity of 
clarified honey. Being put ijito the Eyes, four, five 
or fix times a day, it clears them fran Dimnefs, 
Milts or Clouds, or any thing which obfufcates or 
hinders the fight : and if a little Spirit ot Wine 
( about an eighth part ) he added to it, it becomes 
profitable for fore, inflamed and running Eyes . it 
urengthens the weakned part, and powerfully flops 
the Kuxion. It alfo cleanfes Ulcers in the Eyes, 
drys, and heals them : And I was was informed by 
a very skiliul Chirurgion, that he once cured a L- 
ffula Lachrymals therewith, by injeUing it in, with 
a proper Syringe. This I am fure of, that it Angu- 
larly cleanfes, and drys hollow Ulcers in other parts 
of the Body, and difpofes them to an effeUual 
healing ; and drys up moift Scabs, and other break- 
ings out like Scurf or Morphew, though of long 
Handing, if it is affiduoufly ufed and applied for 
fome time. Taken inwardly, from half an ounce to 
two ounces at a time, it prevails againft Colds, 
Coughs, Hoarfhefs, Wheazings, (hortnel's of Breath, 
difficulty of Breathing, and other difafleftions ot 
the Lungs. Being thus continued for fome confi- 
derable time, I have known it to cure Ulcers of the 
Lungs ; the Patient drinking with it, new Milk 
warm, lweetned with double refined Suger, drink- 
ing no other Liquor, and wholly forbearing all 
Wines, and Maulted Drinks. 
XXX. The fixed Salt. It is highly Antifebritick 
and Diuretick. Diffolved to one dram in the Di- 
ftilled Water, and fo drank, it carries off the Mor- 
bifick caufe of all Fevers by Urine, and cleanfes all 
the Urinary parts of Gravel, Sand, and Tartar, lodg- 
ed in them. It is alfo excellent good againft the 
yellow Jaundice, and all ObftruUions of the Liver, 
Spleen, Reins, and Womb. It diffolves Choler in 
the Body, and calls it out by Urine : Take of this 
Salt halt an ounce : of the diftilled Water a pint : 
mix and diffolve. This cures Cutaneous Difeafes, 
and takes off Freckles from the Face, if conftantly 
ufed tor tome time ; and alfo removes other defer- 
mities ot the Skin. 
XXXI. The Effential Salt. It has all the Virtues 
of the Liquid Juice and Eflfence, and may be given 
in all thole calcs from one dram to two or three 
drams at a dine, in a glafs of generous Wine, Morn- 
ing and Evening. It is a great Stomatick, and 
Sweetner of the Blood •, a noble Antifebritick * and 
kills Worms in Young or Old, being taken for fome 
time. It is highly Traumatick, and therefore good 
to be taken Dietetically, by fuch as hare Wounds 
and Ulcers about them.

name is given to it, becaufe another Plant lefler 
than this, has the name of Celandine given to it, 
and is called the lefler -, and yet it has no Kin or 
Relation to it : and therefore for diftinUion fake, 
this is called Celandine the Greater. It is alfo 
fomerimes called Swallow- wort , in anfwer to the lat- 
ter Latin name. The name is faid to arife from 
Swallows curing the Eyes of their young ones when 1 
they were hurt, therewith •, but as it is a thing wholy 
fabulous, fo we leave it.
