subsection 273

273. Turio uitis: i.e. the soft tops of the shoots of the vine, and those of every tree and of every herb may be called by this name. If turiones of the vine be put in sauces, it will soothe the digestive virtue. If turiones of bramble, with white of hen-egg put through it, be applied to the eyes, it will stop their inflammation and pain, and also their tears. There is a styptic and tanning virtue in the turiones of the oak.
