CHAP. 107.—THREE REMEDIES DERIVED FROM THE CNECOS.

There would be no necessity to speak at any length of the cencos or atractylis,1 an Egyptian plant, were it not for the fact that it offers a most efficacious remedy for the stings of veno- mous animals, as also in cases of poisoning by fungi. It is a well-known fact, that persons, when stung by the scorpion, are not sensible of any painful effects so long as they hold this plant in their hand.
