The leaves of Sage and<br />
Nettles bruised together, and<br />
laid upon the imposthume<br />
that rises behind the ears,<br />
doth assuage it much. The<br />
juice of Sage taken in warm<br />
water, helps a hoarseness and<br />
a cough. The leaves sodden<br />
in wine, and laid upon the<br />
place affected with the palsy,<br />
helps much, if the decoction<br />
be drank; also Sage taken<br />
with Wormwood is good for<br />
the bloody-flux. Pliny saith,<br />
it procures women’s courses,<br />
and stays them coming down<br />
too fast: helps the stinging<br />
SAGE<br />
and biting of serpents, and<br />
kills the worms that breed<br />
in the ear, and in sores. Sage<br />
is of excellent use to help<br />
the memory, warming and<br />
quickening the senses; and<br />
the conserve made of the<br />
flowers is used to the same<br />
purpose, and also for all the<br />
former recited diseases.
