It has a variegated surface, and its virtues are these, that if rubbed on a blue or black woollen cloth, it will deprive the cloth of its color; also, if applied to any part bitten by a reptile, it will adhere till it shall have extracted the poison.

And if it be eaten, no snake can ever by its bite produce hurtful effects on your system. 929 Munsul.--Bitter, pungent, hot, and moist; heavy and aperient; an antidote to poisons; cures affections of mucus, blood, difficulty of breathing, and cough; clears the color of the skin, reduces corpulency; and removes possession by evil spirits.
