Petrus Aponenfis alfo faith, that this Mnfe that feedeth upou the rootes of Aapellys isthe Bexoar againt the Napellus , if itbe dryed and two dramsof the ponder givenindrinke ; but Astonius Guainerius, a famous Phyfitia n of Pavia, in his Treatife of poifons(thinketh that it cannasbe a Monte, thar Avices maketh mention of to feede ppee the roote of Napellus, bur thar they are cer= taine great Flies that feede uponthe flowers, whereofhis Antidot e ismade that expelleth the poifon. For hee there reporteth the indultry of a certaine {tudentin Phylofo phy, defirous to know the truth hereof, whofought diligently for this Moufe, but could neither find or {eeany, _or that any rootes had beene eatenor bitten by any Moufeor the like thing, but found abundance of Flies feeding uponthe leaves, which therefore hee taoke, and with them inftead of the Moufe he made an Antidote, which he found to be very effe@uall, notonely againito ther poifons, but chiefelythat of the Napellus or Helmet flower : Petrus Pena, and Matthiolws de Lobel confirmeth this opinion, and experience of Guainerinshis fludent by their owne triall alfo, who notfinding any Monte, nor hearing thereof by any the Shepheards, and others living in thofe mountaines of Switzerland, where the Napellys groweth in abundance, or that ever they had feene any Moule to feede thereon, found as they fay great ftore of certaine great Flies, with blewith greene heads and wings, likeunto Canthariaes feeding upon the flowers, whenas they could not finde anyother living creature, totouchor eate it; the grafle every where ing eaten by the cattle that. fed thereby, but benot any part thereof once touched.
