Worm Seed. Chenopodiacese.
A rank, odorous j)lant known by the names Worm seed, Stinking weed and Jeru.salein oak, grows about waste places in almost all parts of the United States. The tincture is prepared from the fresh herb in flower. The seeds of this species of Chenopodium are in common use as a vermifuge. Cfienopodium ambrosoides, sometimes confounded with anthelminticum, has been employed as a remedy in hysterical nervous affections, particularly chorea, and in Frank's Magazine, v. 2, is reported a case of paralysis of the tongue, in an old woman, after apoplexy, which had lasted several years ; one of aphasia in a young man suffering from nervous prostration after small-pox; one of hemiplegia in a girl, aet. 10. after scarlatina, and in v. 3, another of paralysis of both feet in a man, set. 52.
In Oe-str., Med. Wochenschrij't, 1842, No. 28, is reported a cure of right-sided hemiplegia wiih aphasia in a primipara, set. 35, of eight weeks' duration. Another species, Cheno- podium Botrys, has been used in France in catarrh and humoral asthma.
