Wild-Carrot, in Latin Daucus Offinarum.

'Tis Uterine and Diure∣tick: 'Tis chiefly us'd in Obstructions of the Cours∣es, in a Suffocation, for the Pain of the Matrix, and for a Flatulent Cholick, the Hickop, Obstruction of Urine, and an old Cough. The Seeds of it infus'd in Beer, and drunk, is much commended by some Mo∣dern Authors, especially by Charlton, for the Strangury, and the Stone in the Kid∣nies. Two Drams of the Seed infus'd in White-wine, and drunk, is good for Mother-fits. The little purple Flower of it is counted a certain Reme∣dy for the Falling-Sickness. Mr. Boyle, in his Book of the Ʋsefulness of Natural Philosophy, says, That dis∣coursing once with an emi∣nently learned and experi∣enc'd Physician of the Anti-nephritical Virtue of the Seed of this Carrot, fermented in Small Ale, he smilingly told him, That he found its Effi∣cacy but too great; for, hav∣ing prescrib'd it to some of his rich Patients, who were wont frequently to have re∣course to him for the Stone; after the Ʋse of this Drink for a pretty while, he seldom heard of them any more. Mr. Boyle prescrib'd one Ounce and an half of this Seed to a Gallon of Ale.
