The Syrup made of the Juyce is effectual in all the causes aforesaid, and so is the Distilled Water of the Herb also.
Spunges or Linnen Cloathes wet in the Juyce and applied outwardly to any hot Swellings or Inflamations, doth much cool and help them: The same Juyce taken and gargled in the Mouth, and after it is spit forth, fresh taken, doth wonderfully help a foul stinking Canker, or Ulcer therein.
