22.31 CHAP. 31. (22.)—THE PICRIS; ONE REMEDY. THE THESION; ONE REMEDY.

The picris [Note] derives its name from its intense bitterness, as we have previously stated. The leaf of it is round; it is remarkably efficacious for the removal of warts.

The thesium, [Note] too, has a bitterness not unlike it: it is a powerful purgative, for which purpose it is employed bruised in water.
