24.60 CHAP. 60.—THE SEED CALLED CACHRYS.

As already [Note] stated, there are several kinds of cachrys; [Note] but that which is produced by rosemary above-mentioned, when rubbed, is found to be of a resinous nature. It neutralizes poisons and the venom of animals, that of serpents excepted. It acts also as a sudorific, dispels griping pains in the bowels, and increases the milk in nursing women.
