HERBS AND THEIR LEAVES. Tussilago. Colt's-foot

Tussilago. Colt's-foot: something cold and dry, and therefore good for inflammations, they are admirably good for coughs, and consumptions of the lungs, shortness of breath, &c. It is often used and with good success taken in a tobacco-pipe, being cut and mixed with a little oil of annis seeds. See the Syrup of Colt's-foot.
