CHAP. 63.—PANIC: FOUR REMEDIES.
Diocles, the physician, has given to panic[2771] the name of “honey of corn.”[2772] It has the same properties as millet, and, taken in wine, it is good for dysentery. In a similar manner, too, it is applied to such parts of the body as require to be treated with heat. Boiled in goats’-milk, and taken twice a-day, it arrests looseness of the bowels; and, used in a similar manner, it is very good for gripings of the stomach.
