Hi All, Dec 14, 2012
According to a Materia Medica for Nurses (Blumgarten, 1915) pumpkin =
seeds were used to get rid of tapeworms, the active principle being =
"...a fixed oil and a resin".
After a day of fast, patient is given 2-4 oz of seeds (presumably whole =
seeds ground) the following morning "...beaten up in an emulsion of =
sugar and water or honey". Follow by a cathartic several hours later.

Lightly roasted they are great snacks and good for the digestive =

off the salt first.

Hi All
This evening I cleaned a squash for supper.
Lots of lovely fat seeds in it.
Does any one use these for bird seeds?
Or will birds eat them?
Look like a good source of food.
A little flock of robins stayed here most of the afternoon.
Still a few red berries around.
Have a nice end to fall
Paul
