He takes notice likewife of a Pig's dying in Convui- 
fions, from eating fomeof thefe Roots, which it had 
grubbed up. 
Stalpart van der JViel, in his Obfervations, takes 
notice of the deadly EfFe&s to two Perfons, who had 
eaten thefe Roots, miftaking them for Macedonian 
Parfley. Thefe Men (like thofe quoted from Dr. 
Allen), foon after eating thefe Roots, were troubled 
with violent Heats in the Throat and Stomach, at-

Purging. One of them bled at the Nofes the other 
was violently convulfed. Both of them died 5 one in 
two Hours, the other in three. This Author has given 
us three Figures of the Oenantbe : The two Tables of 
the Roots and the Leaves are tolerably well executed 5 
but that expreiling the whole Plant is very deficient. 
It were much to be wifhed, that all botanical Authors 
had Indufiry and Ingenuity enough to delineate their 
own Tables, as Columna and c Dillenius have done ; 
which will always heighten the Value of their other- 
wife excellent Works. 
It is very remarkable, that neither the French Pri- 
foners, who were killed at Pembroke , nor thofe be- 
fore cited in the Philo fophical TranfaPlions , felt any 
Heat or Diforder in their Stomach, before the Attack 
of the convullive Paroxyfms : Whereas thofe] men- 
tion'd by Dr .Allen, and Stalpart van der fViel y vtcrc 
in great Agonies, from the violent Heat in their Sto- 
mach and Throat, before they were attacked by Con- 
vullions.
