subsection 255

255. Scolapendria, linga ceruina: i.e. hart's tongue fern; temperately hot and dry; it serves well against oppilation of the liver and spleen, because it has the attenuating and dissolving virtues. If it be boiled in wine, it will break the urinary stones. If an oximel be made of this herb and vinegar, and it be drunk for forty days, it will open the oppilation of the liver and spleen, and it will break the urinary stones, and this oximel serves well against jaundice.
