quite different application comes from far-off Orkney, where the juice was
given to children to rid them of intestinal worms.^116
Ireland has had at least one different use for the plant, too: in Cavan it was
burnt and the smoke inhaled as a cure for stomach trouble.^117 Both the scien-
tific and vernacular names are derived from fumus,the Latin word for smoke,
so that is presumably an ancient practice, possibly even well pre-Classical.
