Dissolve in the drink half a dram each of darnel, fumitory, opium and henbane and half a carat of myrobalan. |
The fumitory is a perpetual bloomer from July till killed by the autumn frosts. |
Fumitory helps such as are itchy and scabbed, helps Rickets, madness, and quartain agues. |
With their whimsical ancient names such as corncockle, mousetail, fluellen, fumitory, downy hemp-nettle and lamb's succory, they have music as well as colour. |
The green leaves of the fumitory are very delicate and pretty. |
If they are yellow it is Corydalis lutea but if they are a pinky-purple, then it is the closely-related Fumitory, probably Fumaria purpurea. |
