V. The third, or Wild Gold of Pleafure, the 
other Englifh Wormfeed. It has a long J lender 
Root, with Jome Strings and Fibres adjoining to it. 
It comes up with but one round Stalk almoft a Yard 
high , which fpreads it / elf out into Branches or 
Arms , which have long and 'fame what narrow Leaves , 
yet almoft twice as broad as the former , ftoarp 
pointed , fomething refembling thofe of Wcad, but 
that thefe are longer , and broad at bottom , where 
they compafs the Stalk about , with two points flick- 
ing out on either fide, at whofe tops come forth 
feveral whitifh Flowers , very like to thofe of Flax, 
after which come forth fmall round Heads , with a 
fmall point at the top , very like in fafhion to the 
Myagrum with one Seed •, but thefe are full of 
fmall yellowijh Seed , like to that of Crefles, which 
whilft it is green and frefh , is exceeding bitter , 
tho ’ not fo after it is full ripe and dry. 
VI. The Places. The fir It grows in Arabia , 
Syria and Palefttna , from which places the Seed is 
brought to us. The fecond grows Wild in many 
places of England , which being brought into a 
Garden, and there fuft'er’d to Sow its Seed, it will 
come up again Yearly of its felf. The third grows 
in Germany , and is much found in all their Flax- 
Fields and Grounds, which being in Stalk like it, 
is accounted a Weed, and call away ; but fome 
fave the Seed to give to fmall Buds, on which 
they will feed when it is perfectly ripe, and peck 
it from the Stalk. 
VII. The Times. The firft Flowers late in the 
Year, but I think the certain time is not let down 
by any Author : The other two Flower in June 
and July , and their Seed is ripe in Auguft and 
September. 
VIII. The Vitalities. They are all hot and dry 
as Authors fay, in the third degree. 
IX. The Specification. They are only, or chiefly 
ufed to kill Worms in the Belly, for which they 
have been found very effectual. 
X. The Preparations. The Seeds.of thefe Plants 
are only ufed, being taken either whole, or a little 
bruiled. 
T he Virtues. 
XI. The Seed of the Santonicum. It is given a 
Scruple at a time Evening and Morning to Chil- 
dren, either in a few Raifons Itoned, or in the 
Pulp of a Roafted Apple or Pear, or in a Stew’d 
Prune, or in Honey. It kills Worms in the Sto- 
mach and Belly •, but if a little Aloes or Rhubarb 
be mixed with it, the Worms will then not only 
be killed, but they will likewife be expelled withal. 
And if the Seed be mixed with Aloes , and brought 
to the form of an Emplaftcr with Ox-Gall , and ap- 
plyed to the Stomach and Navel, it is faid to do 
the lame thing. 
XII. The Englifh Wormfeed. If it is bruifed, 
and given from a Scruple to a Dram, Night and 
Morning as the former, in any proper Vehicle, 
and then wufht down with a Draught of Water- 
Gruel, Broth or Poflet-Drink, it is laid effe&ually 
to kill Worms in the Stomach and Entrails, of 
what kind foever, it being often enough repeated. 
XIII. The ether Englifh Wormfeed , or Seed of 
the Wild Gold of. Pleafure. This is to be taken 
bruifed whilft it is*Green, and whilft its inherent 
B.tternefs is yet with it. It may be given from a 
Scruple to a Dram, as the former are given, and 
is much more effe&ual than them both, being con- 
tinued Morning and Night for fome time. This 
by reafon of its exceeding Bitternefs, I am afraid 
few Children can be obliged to take it.
