CHAP. 80.—REMEDIES FOR BURNS.

Burns are cured by the agency of plantago,[1] or of arction,[2] so effectually indeed as to leave no scar. The leaves of this last plant are boiled in water, beaten up, and applied to the sore. Roots of cyclaminos[3] are used, in combination with aizoüm;[4] the kind of hypericon also, which we have mentioned as being called "corissum."[5]
