raphany

CIDE DICTIONARY

raphanyn. [Cf. F. raphanie.].
     A convulsive disease, attended with ravenous hunger, not uncommon in Sweden and Germany. It was so called because supposed to be caused by eating corn with which seeds of jointed charlock (Raphanus raphanistrum) had been mixed, but the condition is now known to be a form of ergotism.  [1913 Webster]
