The wool plant,417 given to sheep fasting, greatly increases the milk. The plant commonly called lactoris,418 is equally well known: it is full of a milky juice, the taste of which produces vomiting. Some persons say that this is identical with, while others say that it only resembles, the plant known as “militaris,”419 from the fact that, applied with oil, it will effect the cure, within five days, of any wound that has been inflicted with iron.
