The chamærops, [Note] also, is similarly efficacious for pains in the side. It is a plant with leaves like those of myrtle, arranged in pairs around the stem, the heads of it resembling those of the Greek rose: it is taken in wine. Agaric, administered in drink, in the same manner [Note] as for cough, assuages sciatica and pains in the vertebræ: the same, too, with powdered stœchas [Note] or betony, taken in hydromel.
