The apples known as "melimela," [Note] and the other sweet apples, relax the stomach and bowels, but are productive of heat and thirst, [Note] though they do not act injuriously upon the nervous system. The orbiculata [Note] arrest diarrhœa and vomiting, and act as a diuretic. Wild apples resemble the sour apples of spring, and act astringently upon the bowels: indeed, for this purpose they should always be used before they are ripe.
