CHAP. 78.—THE LEUCOGRAPHIS: FIVE REMEDIES.
I have not found a description given by any writer of the
leucographis; [Note] a thing I am the more surprised at, as they tell
us that it is good for the cure of spitting of blood, taken in
doses of three oboli with saffron; as also that it is useful for
cœliac affections, applied beaten up in water, and in cases of
excessive menstruation. They state also that it enters into
the composition of ophthalmic preparations, and that it fills up
ulcers on the more tender parts of the body with new flesh.
