CHAP. IX. Against Worms in Children.

THis is a rare secret against the Worms, the which I have used a long time, and alwaies have had good successe. Take the seed of Levant, the which is sweet, and is called in Italian Sementina, and the seeds of Carduus Benedictus, and of a certain Herb growing on the Sea, called Corolina, ana: stamp it very fine, and give thereof one drachm in honey, and it will kill the Worms, also thou shalt understand that I have a great secret against the Worms, the which I will shew thee; for it may be used more safer then any of these Hearbs above na∣med: You shall annoint all the bodie over (leaving no part) with our Balm Artificiall, and give the Patient thereof to drink ʒ.i. with Wine or Broth. Thou shalt understand, though the child have no Worms, yet the Medicine will doe him great good, because it helpeth against all manner of diseases that may happen unto children, and also to other persons.
