CHAP. 26.—REMEDIES FOR PARALYSIS.
For persons apprehensive of paralysis the fat of dormice and
of field-mice, they say, is very useful, boiled: and for patients
threatened with phthisis, millepedes are good, taken in drink,
in manner already [Note] mentioned for the cure of quinzy. The
same, too, with a green lizard, boiled down to one cyathus in
three sextarii of wine, and taken in doses of one spoonful
daily, until the patient is perfectly cured; the ashes also of
burnt snails, taken in wine.
