CHAP. 63.—PANIC: FOUR REMEDIES.

Diocles, the physician, has given to panic2771 the name of “honey of corn.”2772 It has the same properties as millet, and, taken in wine, it is good for dysentery. In a similar manner, too, it is applied to such parts of the body as require to be treated with heat. Boiled in goats’-milk, and taken twice a-day, it arrests looseness of the bowels; and, used in a similar manner, it is very good for gripings of the stomach.
