SECT. XI.—ON EXCORIATIONS OF THE THIGHS.
Excoriations of the thighs may be sprinkled with dried myrtle, cyperus, and roses.
Commentary. See, in particular, Oribasius (Synops. v, 11); Aëtius (iv, 24); and Avicenna (i, 3, 1.) All recommend nearly the same astringent applications for the intertrigo of infants.
