Printed in the 1850 edition’s “A List of the Principal Diseases” as “—— (inflammations of)” under “Stomach” (the dash stands for the heading above it, or its first word); shown here as “Stomach — (inflammations of)”.
Modern literature has not yet been searched for this heading’s claims: it comes only from the 1850 index and has no search words yet.
A note on the heading
Plain sense
Heat and inflammation in the stomach, treated here by a gargle; whether Culpeper’s “stomach” in this one sentence is the organ or the throat and gullet, which a gargle reaches, the sentence does not let us tell (our reading).
What the entries treat
One claim, one sentence. The Wallnut tree’s green husks, their juice boiled with honey, “is an excellent gargle for sore mouths, or the heat and inflammations in the throat and stomach”.
gastritis (if the organ is meant); inflamed throat — uncertain: the text does not let us tell.
How it reads today
Gastritis is medicine’s name for an inflamed stomach lining; but a gargle does not reach the stomach, and the sentence pairs the stomach with the throat and sore mouths, so what the index heading points at is one sentence that may not be about the stomach at all. The word is under CND-0130.

Old claims, quoted verbatim: not medical advice. A warning sits above the claims and never hides them; no warning does not mean safe, only that no source here has flagged the plant.
1 claim: 1 with a sentence, 0 from the index alone
