Limeum1928 is the name given by the Gauls to a plant, in a preparation of which, known to them as “deer’s1929 poison,” they dip their arrows1930 when hunting. To three modii of salivating mixture1931 they put as much of the plant as is used for poisoning a single arrow; and a mess of it is passed down the throat, in cases where oxen are suffering from disease, due care being taken to keep them fastened to the manger till they have been purged, as they are generally rendered frantic by the dose. In case perspiration supervenes, they are drenched all over with cold water.
