CHAP. 33.—MELITINUS; SIX REMEDIES.
The stone called “melitinus”[2703] yields a liquid that is sweet, like honey. Bruised and incorporated with wax, it is curative of pituitous eruptions, spots upon the skin, and ulcerations of the fauces. It removes epinyctis[2704] also, and, applied as a pessary, in wool, it alleviates pains in the uterus.
