 its extraction, and to give internally a 

 mixture from the powder of black pep- 

 per, bruifed garlic, and flour of fulphur, 

 of each an ounc£ infufed in a quart of 

 rum, of which half a gill is to be drank 

 morning and evening ; by which, in a 

 day or two, the Worm will be found 

 coiled up under the poultice.

 a bean, but more flender, and pointed, 

 which is bred in the muddy ftagnant 

 waters in the woods, and inferts itfelf 

 into the flefh, chiefly about the ankles, 

 and when extracted leaves a finuous 

 callous ulcer, which is difficultly cu- 

 red.
