Endive, [Note] too, is not without its medicinal uses. The juice of it, employed with rose oil and vinegar, has the effect of allaying headache; and taken with wine, it is good for pains in the liver and bladder: it is used, also, topically, for defluxions of the eyes. The spreading endive has received from some per-
sons among us the name of "ambula." In Egypt, the wild endive is known as "cichorium," [Note] the cultivated kind being called "seris." This last is smaller than the other, and the leaves of it more full of veins.
