Flammula, or Leffer Spearwort, as we are informed by Dr. Withering, is an emetic more instantaneous, and less offenfive during its action, than white vitriol; and, as if Nature had furnished an antidote to poison from among poisons of its own tribe, is to be preferred in promoting the instant expulfion of de

leterious substances from the stomach."
