"Natrix" [Note] is the name of a plant, the root of which, when taken out of the ground, has just the rank smell of the he-goat. It is used in Picenum for the purpose of keeping away from females what with a singular credulity they call by the name of "Fatui." [Note] For my own part, however, I should think that
persons requiring to be treated with such medicaments as these, must be labouring under a sort of mental hallucination.
