When traveling in Iceland, Garth Wilkinson noticed that the sheep in the vicinity of Hecla
had immense bony growths on the jaws.
Another effect noticed was the drying up of the milk both in sheep
and cows.
The finer ash which feel on pastures at a distance was the most deleterious, the gross ash near the
mountain was inert.
Wilkinson added that he used Hecla, with excellent effect in toothache, gum abscessCollection of pus inside body tissuesA swollen area within body tissue, containing an accumulation of pus, typically caused by bacterial infection., swellings about the jaws
