HERB - Can anyone help?

>From Gervase Markham's The English Housewife from 1615 is advice for curing
leprosy:

For the leprosy

To cure the leprosy, take the juice of coleworts, and mix it with alum and
strong ale, and anoint the leper therewith morning and evening, and it will
cleanse him wonderfully, especially if he be purged first, and have some
part of his corrupt blood taken away.

There is a fine line between anal and efficient, I straddle it!
