Some have thought, from the frequent ufe of Teff, hath 

 come that difeafe of worms which I have mentioned in the 

 article Caflb. But I am inclined to think this is not the cafe, 

 becaufe the Gibbertis, or Mahometans, born in Abyflinia, 

 all ufe TefF in the fame proportion as the Chriftians, yet 

 none of thefe are troubled with worms. And from this I 

 mould be led to think that this difeafe arifes rather from 

 eating raw meat, which the Mahometans do not, and 

 therefore are not affected with this diforder as the Chri- 

 ftians are.
