31.7 CHAP. 7.—WATERS PREVENTIVE OF ABORTION.

The waters of Thespiæ [Note] ensure conception to females; the same, too, with those of the river Elatus [Note] in Arcadia. The spring Linus, [Note] also in Arcadia, acts as a preservative of the fœtus, and effectually prevents abortion. The waters of the river Aphrodisius, on the other hand, in the territory of Pyrrhsæa, [Note] are productive of sterility.
