CHAP. 11.—QUINZY.
For the treatment of quinzy, we find argemonia [Note] recommended, in wine; a decoction of hyssop, boiled with figs,
used as a gargle; peucedanum, [Note] with an equal proportion of
sea-calf's rennet; proserpinaca, [Note] beaten up in the pickle of the
mæna [Note] and oil, or else placed beneath the tongue; as also
juice of cinquefoil, taken in doses of three cyathi. Used as a
gargle, juice of cinquefoil is good for the cure of all affections
of the fauces: verbascum, [Note] too, taken in wine, is particularly
useful for diseases of the tonsillary glands.
