This is greatly recommended as an antidote by Pifo ; and is the Cajacia of Trap- 

 bam, page 138. who extolls it as an excellent ingredient in baths, for people 

 afflicted with the dry belly-ach : but there is no need either of this, or any other 

 herbage, on that occafion ; warm water alone being generally fufficient to give im-

 a paflage is procured, to recover the tone of the vefTels ; and I take this to be as

 tive medicines are required. A decoction feems to be the moll appropriated way of 

 adminiftering it.
