Original passage
The Juyce of the Herb, and Seed together taken in Wine, helpeth those that are bitten with an Adder, by preserving the Heart from the Venom; It is familiarly taken in Broth to keep them lean; and lank that are apt to grow fat. The distilled Water drunk twice a day helpeth the yellow Jaundice, and in experience found to do the same, and stayeth Lasks and Bloody Fluxes. The Juyce of the Leavs, or they a little bruisep and applied to any bleeding wound, stayeth the Bleeding. The Juyce is also very good to close up the Lips of green Wounds; and the Pouder of the dried Herb strewed therupon doth the same, and likewise helpeth old Ulcers: Being boyled with Hogs Greas, it healeth al sorts of hard Swellings or Kernels in the Throat, being anointed therwith. The Juyce dropped into the Ears taketh away the pains of them.
