Needle and Thread and wet them therein, and draw
is good and ready, if not, you mull ferment it for
fome little time longer, till it .will upon tryal eit-
quifitely perform that Work. This is the Poyfon
the Spaniard: ufe. in poyfoning their Arrow heads,
they dip their Arrow heads therein, and then what
Beall foever fhall be Wounded therewith fhall fud-
denly die. This thing lllatthiolur‘ fays he tried on
Dogs and on Chickens, which died prefentl after
they were Wounded. This Po’yfon is only rife while
it is frefh, for if the juice drys upon the Arrow head
it lofes its litength, and therefore to keep them the
better they uh: to kee them in a Cafe, the Iron
heads being wrapped in Vopl, and Cloths dipt there-
in. But this is very admirable, as it is related, that
this Poyfon being drunk gives almoli no harm to
them that drink it, unlefs they take too much, and
if is faid that Hunters often take it themfelves, to
urge them from‘ evil Humors, and preferve their
linlealths. This is alfo remarkable, that the Flefh of
theft: Bmlis killed by this Poyfon is not in the [call
hurtlitl, but is more tender and pleafant in eating
than the Flefh of other Bealls not killed therewith,-
more ef ecially that part about the Wound.
