25.85 CHAP. 85.—THE CACALIA OR LEONTICE: THREE REMEDIES.

The name of "cacalia" [Note] or "leontice" is given to a plant with seed resembling small pearls in appearance, and hanging down between large leaves: it is mostly found upon mountains. Fifteen grains of this seed are macerated in oil, and the head is rubbed with the mixture, the contrary way to the hair.
