There are boils also, known as "furunculi," [Note] which make their appearance indiscriminately on all parts of the body, and are productive of the greatest inconvenience: sometimes indeed, when the constitution is exhausted, they are fatal in their effects. For their cure, leaves of pycnocomon [Note] are employed, beaten up with polenta, [Note] if the boil has not come to a head. They are dispersed also by an application of leaves of ephedron. [Note]
