The temperature & vertues of Ledge Lyssop
Ledge Lyssope is hott & dry of temperature.
The vertues.
Who so taketh but one scruple of Gratiola bruy-
sed, shall _ceave evidently his effectuall ope-
ration & vertue, in purging mightily, & that in
greate abundance, watrish, grosse, & slimiye
humors. Conradus Gesneras experimented this,
& founded it to be true, & so have I my selfe &
many otheres.
Gratiola boyled, & the decoctio drunke or eatenn
w th any kinde of meate, in manner of a sallad,
openeth the bellye, & causeth notable loosenes,
& to flowre freely, & by that meanes purgeth
grosse flegmes, & cholerike humors.
Gratiola, of Ledge Lyssope boyled in wine & given
to drinke, helpeth feuers of what sorte soever
& is most excellent in dropsies, & such like
diseases proceedinge of could & watery caughes.
The extraction given w th the powder of
cinamom & a litle of th iuce of salaminte
prevaileth against tertian & quotidian feuers,
sett downe for most certaine by the learned
Joachimus Camerarius.
