CHAP. 104.—THE WOOL PLANT: ONE REMEDY. THE LACTORIS: ONE REMEDY. THE MILITARIS: ONE REMEDY.
The wool plant,[417] given to sheep fasting, greatly increases the milk. The plant commonly called lactoris,[418] is equally well known: it is full of a milky juice, the taste of which produces vomiting. Some persons say that this is identical with, while others say that it only resembles, the plant known as “militaris,”[419] from the fact that, applied with oil, it will effect the cure, within five days, of any wound that has been inflicted with iron.
