XXI. Cordtts on D iofeorides fays , Thefe Peafe 
are a great provoker to Sleep , even to the Danger 
ol Lite , if the quantity given be too large : he 
fays That he tryed this upon himfelf, and 
found it to be dangerous in ptovoking Sleep, 
if taken in too great a Dofe -, but he alfo 
fays, it caufes a pleafantet and fweeter Sleep 
than 'opium does. Dodonsus fays, that this Plant 
is the Abrtmg, or Abrugi of Serapio, in his 
Chap. 153. where he has thefe Words, Abrong 
is a fmall Crain , /potted with black and white, 
like unto the Grain Maiz. It has the form 
of a Heart upon it in white; and therefore Ta- 
bernttmontams calls it Cardijpermon. It is alfo 
faid to be available againft Paintings, and other 
Difeafes of the Heart, and this is probable 
enough to be true, for if it has the proper- 
ties of Opium in it, to caufe pleafant and 
fweet Sleep, as Cardus fays , it may well have 
thofe effects alfo, as to comfort and chear the 
Heart, and refill Fainting and Swooning Fits, 
and other like difaffe£lions of that noble Part. 
I find not what Dofe is given of it , That the 
induftrious Artift is to find out by many Tryals, 
beginning with a fmall quantity firft, and fo 
increafing it gradually, till he finds how 
much will fufficiently do, and may be fafely 
exhibited.
