Worme. Plin. T. The ashes of earth worms with oile preserve haire from hoarinesse, being in a meane. They help the jaundise, sc. the terrene drunk in vineger mulse with myrrhe, so Plin. Avic. Ros. Anglic. so drach. 1. of the powder taken dry, with claryfied whey, or endivy water. If drunk they help fluxes in wounds of the stomach, stamped with oile they help corns, with vineger they help the holy fire, so Mizald. Apollon. Boiled in oile they help paines of the eares. Serenus mixeth Goose grease therewith to help obtuse hearing. With old oile and wax they cicatrize putrid ulcers. Stam¦ped & applied they help all wounds, especially of the nerves, Holler also mixeth thē with things for the same purpose. Their ashes glew broken bones, Plin. and draw out bones. Diosc. With Goose grease they help grieved eares, and boiled with oile they may be drop∣ped into the contrary eare with honey, against the tooth-ach; they are good also against the bitings of Serpents and Scorpions. Plin. The terrene drunk with sod wine breake the stone. The ashes in three dayes helpe the gout, others use them with the cerot & oile of roses, or with vineger & honey, they helping inflammations and

paines. Plin. Used to the neck and shoulders, they hinder the paine of the nerves. Drunk in sod wine they expel the secundine: The same applied alone concoct the suppuration of the duggs. They also open and cicatrize. Anointed they cause milk in nurses breasts. Mercurialis maketh them into a confection for the same purpose. Drunk they are diuretick. Their oile helps the paines of the joynts and nerves, the same gleweth the nerves of the inte∣stines. The Indians use them in unguents against burnings. They serve as food for some fourefooted beasts, birds and fishes. Schrod. Those of the earth are very diuretick, and diaphoretick, anodyne, discutient, emollient, reserant, galactogenetick, traumatick, & neu∣rotick. They are used in the apoplexy, spasme, and other affections of the nerves and muscles, in the jaundise, dropsy, worms of chil∣dren, and the collick, specifically in the scorbutick arthritis used both inwardly and outwardly: The first way percolated, &c. the other alive or dead. The ashes put into the teeth help their paine, applied with meale they help the gout. The water helps the dropsy: the oile provokes urine, and sweat with radish water. The worms of the bowels are generated of crudities, and powdered kill worms. They are killed by bitter waters, &c. so Jonst.
