CHAP. 89.—REMEDIES FOB WARTS, AND APPLICATIONS FOR THE REMOVAL OF SCARS.
Argemonia[1571] with vinegar, or root of batrachion,[1572] removes warts; this last having the effect also of bringing off malformed nails. The juice or the leaves, applied topically, of either kind of linozostis,[1573] remove warts. All the varieties of tithymalos[1574] are efficacious for the removal of every kind of wart, as also of hangnails[1575] and wens. Ladanum[1576] imparts a fresh colour and seemly appearance to scars.
(15.) The traveller who carries artemisia[1577] attached to his person, or elelisphacus,[1578] will never be sensible of lassitude, it is said.
