The divine grammar: or select rules leading to the more nice syntax and articulate construction of dreams, visions and apparitions. Compos'd for the more perfect understanding and command of a certain Dictionary fram'd to the same purpose, and both together illustrating the Holy [Controversy] of the Almighty, and interpreting all manner of Dreams, Visions and Apparitions whatsoever. By W. F. Esq; Master in the Holy Language, and Author of The New Jerusalem. The Works of God seem by chance, and without Symmetry or Beauty; but 'tis only as to us, and because they are deep, and we unworthy to receive them, and so as hid from our Eyes. Human Tongues may adorn us, and give us the Assistance of Authors; but the Language Divine, what so Glorious to attain, or what so Excellent in its Aids, and when it blesses us even with the Prophetick Monitions and Presence of God himself in it.

Veratrum album L. Melanthiaceae Distribution: Europe. Cows do not eat Veratrum species in the meadows, and human poisoning with it caused vomiting and fainting. In the 1850s it was found to reduce the heart's action and slow the pulse (Bentley, 1861, called it an 'arterial sedative'), and in 1859 it was used orally in a woman who was having convulsions due to eclampsia. Dr Paul DeLacy Baker in Alabama treated her with drops of a tincture of V. viride. She recovered. It was used thereafter, as the first choice of treatment, and when blood pressure monitoring became possible, it was discovered that it worked by reducing the high blood pressure that occurs in eclampsia. By 1947 death rates were reduced from 30% to 5% by its use at the Boston Lying in Hospital. It works by dilating the arteries in muscles and in the gastrointestinal circulation. A further use of Veratrum species came to light when it was noted that V. californicum -and other species - if eaten by sheep resulted in foetal malformations, in particular only having one eye. The chemical in the plant that was responsible, cyclopamine, was found to act on certain genetic pathways responsible for stem cell division in the regulation of the development of bilateral symmetry in the embryo/foetus. Synthetic analogues have been developed which act on what have come to be called the 'hedgehog signalling pathways' in stem cell division, and these 'Hedgehog inhibitors' are being introduced into medicine for the treatment of various cancers like chondrosarcoma, myelofibrosis, and advanced basal cell carcinoma. The drugs are saridegib, erismodegib and vismodegib. All the early herbals report on its ability to cause vomiting. As a herbal medicine it is Prescription Only, via a registered dentist or physician (UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)). Photographed in the Medicinal Garden of the Royal College of Physicians, London.
