If a person fed on it, it might do some good, i.e. about a quarter of the good that the same quantity of water-cress would do. —BILGRES, probably = henbane, hyoscysmus niger. Compare Dutch [Du. Bilsen, Hexham, and German Bilse]. Bil = byle = boil, modern. It was formerly applied externally, with marsh-mallow and other mucilaginous and emollient plants, to ulcers, boils, &c. It might do great good if the tumours were unbroken, but is awfully dangerous. So is Peucedanum officinale. My Latin names are those of Smith: English Flora. Babington has re-named them, and Bentham again altered them. I like my mumpsimus better than their sumpsimus."]  [Herbe a foulon. Fullers hearbe, Sopewort, Mocke-gillouers, Bruisewort. Cotgrave.
