CHAP. 50. ANTAPIIRODISIAC3 AND APHRODISIACS. THE HIPPO- 

 POTAMI'S : ONE KKMEDY. T11K CROCODILE: ONE REMEDY. 



In the number of antaphrodisiacs, we have the ccheneis; 12 the 

 skin from the left side of the forehead of the hippopotamus, 13 

 attached to the body in lamb-skin ; and the gall of a live tor- 

 pedo, 14 applied to the generative organs. 



. The following substances act as aphrodisiacs the flesh of 

 liver-snails, preserved in salt and given to drink in wine; the 

 erythinus 15 taken as food ; the liver of the frog called "diopetes" 

 or " calamites" 1 * attached to the body in a small piece of crane's 

 skin ; the eye-tooth of a crocodile, attached to the arm ; the 

 hippocampus; 17 and the sinews of a bramble-frog, 18 worn as 

 an amulet upon the right arm. A bramble-frog, attached to 

 the body in a piece of fresh sheep-skin, effectually puts an end 

 to love.
