CHAP. 41.—REMEDIES FOR DISEASES OF THE SINEWS.
The exterior callosity with which the flesh of purples is
covered, beaten up, unites the sinews, even when they have
been severed asunder. It is a good plan, for patients suffering
from tetanus, to take sea-calf's rennet in wine, in doses of one
obolus, as also fish-glue. [Note] Persons affected with fits of trembling
find much relief from castoreum, [Note] provided they are
well anointed with oil. I find it stated that the surmullet, [Note]
used as an article of diet, acts injuriously upon the sinews.
