IX. The Qualities, Spc'tijicdtion , Prep fret torts anti 
Virtues of theft are the fafhe with thofe of the Art^ 
cttTtUti ot Narrow Leav'd in the former Chapters 
to. which we refer you, yet thefe being extraordinary; 
Traumaticks or Vulnerories, and of an extregmly mol- 
lifying and digelting power, we fhall make thefe fol- 
lowing farther OMervarions concerning the fame. 
- X. The Liquid ftme, or Efence. ' They are good. 
•Igainll Chronick Difeaftfc of the Breaft and Lungs,; 
and prevail againlLthe-EpHepfie and Jaundice, more 
efpecially if a little Pepper m fine Pbuder is added,; 
and fo given in Wine; given in PofTet- Drink they in-! 
ere lfe Milk in Nurfes Breads, and eafe pains m the 
Stomach and Belly -proceeding from (harp Humors,! 
or Wind; they are alfo good agamft Poyfon, and; 
the bitings of Mad Dogs, Venomdus Bealls, and. 
Serpents, or the Hinging of Scorpions, they provoke! 
Urine powerfully, afid the Courfes, being llopt; the) 
Juice of the Leaves and Roots cleats the Eyeiight, 
arid (hatpins it, and diverts the Rheum which falls 
into the Eyes, by ftiengthning the parts, being dropt ; 
into the Eyes , and Cloths dipt therein and applied! 
over the Forehead and-' Eyebrows. 
XL The Decoition in UTne. It has all the Virtues 
of the Juice and Effence , ■ but much weaker , and 
therefore may be given in a greater Dofe , as from 
tour to fix Ounces; it is highly Traumatick or Vul- 
nerary, and may be ufedDietetically, as well as out- 
wardly to wafh any Sore, Wound, or Ulcer there- 
with. 
..XII. TheB dlfatn or Ointment. They cure Wounds 
and Ulcers alter an admirable manner, and if a little 
Pouder of Birthzwrt Root, or ol Tobacco be added 
to them, they do wonders in thefe kinds of Cures , 
beyond expfeffion. 
XIII. T he Cataplaftn of the bruifed Leaves. Be- 
ing applied it Itops bleeding in any part , and cures 
the Hemorrhoids . or Piles, removes the heat, and 
dilcuffes the tumor or fwelling of the Fundament , 
bringing the fame (if Nature intends it) to a fpeedy 
maturity - or ripenels ; the ■Oataplaim being made

II. The Kinds. Some Authors will have it to be 
a Species of Marjoram , others a Species of Theme , 
others again make it a middle Plant between them 
both, it feems to me to be rather a particular of its 
own Kind ; there are three Species hereof, vis. i .
