DIAPRASIUM.

It subdues coryza, hoarseness, cough, and catarrh,

350 the arterial affliction born from a rheum of the brain:

dripping uvulas, throats swimming with humor:

taken with warm wine, *Diaprasum* cures.

If the patient first gargles with warm vinegar,

in which roses, balaustine flowers, pomegranate peel, gallnuts have been cooked,

355 dates and figs; to which to add sweet wine

is helpful for dissolving and cleansing. —

Taken with accompanying unmixed wine and applied

to the ailing part, it heals teeth weighed down by cold humor

and badly struck by a rheumatic blow. —

360 Placed under the tongue, with powder of penidia

mixed into it, it puts to flight the complaint of the chest arising from cold;

it ends and resolves the cause of a panting lung

compressed by phlegm, and frees the breathing passages. —

With penidia, gum, dragaganto mixed into it,

365 and licorice, with powder of gentian,

let it be turned into the form of a solid mass, so that from it

pills may be formed, which, if held in the mouth,

repress asthmatic sounds, remove shortness of breath.

Drunk with wine of fennel and of sweet cumin,

370 it comforts a weak liver, and restores the stomach,

whose power, wandering badly astray due to an excess of cold,

departs from the lawful path of genuine pexis. —

With the cauma of feverish heat dying down,

with the morbid matter partly cleansed away, and partly retained,

375 taken with a soothing and warm liquid,

it soothes pleureticos and alleviates their pains:

It dissolves, purges, and cleanses the limbs of putrefaction. —

This also is beneficial to nephritics and those suffering from strangury,

if it has been dissolved with wine of saxifrage.
