ease in severe attacks; and I know several persons
who use it with good effect to this day. In vegetables of
such powerful effects as this is known to have, great care ought to be
taken in their preparation,
which, I fear, is not always so much attended to as the nature of this

chiefly employed in external applications for
some kinds
