A wrinkled state of the body may be removed by the farina of bitter tares, mixed with white vine.
Another abstergent composition (smegma), to be frequently rubbed into the skin: fat figs bruised with bryony, and the burned powder of tares, the shells of the cuttle-fish (sepia), mixed with a small quantity of honey.
