subsection 267

267. Tanasetum agreste: i.e. silverweed; cold and dry, but in what degree is not to be found in Platearius' book; it serves well against the flux of the abdomen. If it be pounded and white of egg or cream be put through it, it will help with excessive heat of parts of the body. If the roots of this herb be boiled in red wine and drunk, it will help with women's disease. If a plaster of the same herb together with white of egg be applied to the temples, it will help with headache that comes from hotness.
