Here you go, Ras:

17th c. Spring Tonic: "take a quart of earthworms, scour with salt, slit
open, wash with their own filth, put in a stone mortar and beat" (Foley,
Ruth H.  "Snail Water," Herb Quarterly.  Vol. 4.  1979, p. 16) The worms
were mixed with herbs and toasted snails; the water derived from this  was
then drunk with strong beer.

HTH,
