CHAP. 92.—MASTOS: ONE REMEDY.
Aizoüm, which we have spoken of under the name of digi-
tellus, [Note] is the great specific for diseases of the mamillæ. The
milk is increased by taking erigeron [Note] in raisin wine, or else
sonchos [Note] boiled with spelt. The plant known as "mastos," [Note]
applied topically, removes the hairs from the mamillæ, [Note] which
make their appearance after child-birth: it has the effect also
of dispersing scaly crusts [Note] upon the face, and other cutaneous
affections. Gentian also, nymphæa heraclia [Note] employed in a
liniment, and root of cyclaminos, [Note] remove all blemishes of the
skin. Seeds of cacalia, [Note] mixed with melted wax, plump
out the skin of the face and make wrinkles disappear. Root
of acoron, [Note] also, removes all spots upon the skin.
