CHAP. 89.—REMEDIES FOR WARTS. AND APPLICATIONS FOR THE
REMOVAL OF SCARS.
Argemonia[1] with vinegar, or root of batrachion,[2] 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,[3] remove warts. All the varieties of tithy-
malos[4] are efficacious for the removal of every kind of wart,
as also of hangnails[5] and wens. Ladanum[6] imparts a fresh
colour and seemly appearance to scars.
(15.) The traveller who carries artemisia[7] attached to his
person, or elelisphacus,[8] will never be sensible of lassitude, it
is said.
