She gives many reasons why it certainlyis that very plant, whose fruits the _Egyptian_ queen recommended to_Helen_, as a certain cure for pain and grief of all sorts, and whichShe ever after kept by her as her most precious jewel, and made use ofas a _Panacaea_ upon all occasions. The great Dr. _Bentley_ calls it more than once _Machaera Herculis_, having proved out of the fragments of a _Greek_ Poet, that of this treewas made that club with which the hero is said to have overcome thefifty wild... daughters of _Thespius_, but which Queen _Omphale_ afterwardsreduced to a distaff. Others have thought the celebrated _Hesperian_trees were of this sort; and the very name of _Poma Veneris_, frequentlygiven by Authors to the fruits of this tree, is a sufficient proof thesewere really the _Apples_ for which three Goddesses contended in so warma manner, and to which the Queen of beauty had undoubtedly the strongesttitle. The vertues are so many, a large volume might be wrote of them. Thejuice taken inwardly cures the green-sickness and other infirmities ofthe like sort, and is a true specific in most disorders of the fair sex.
