CHAP. 106.—THE RESEDA: TWO REMEDIES.
In the vicinity of Ariminum, there is a well-known plant called “reseda:”[1995] it disperses abscesses and all kinds of inflammations. Those who employ it for these purposes, add the following words: “Reseda,[1996] allay this disease! knowest thou not, knowest thou not, what chick it is that has torn up these roots?
