[Book XX feniale, the former having smaller leaves than the other, and of a grass-green colour ; the female plant, he sajrs, has leaves of a larger size and a more vivid hue. The same author, too^ has considered rue to be injurious to the eyes ; but this is an error, for engravers and painters are in the habit of eating it with bread, or else nasturtium, for the benefit of the sight ; wild goats, too, eat it for the sight, they say. Many persons have dispersed films on the eyes by rubbing them ...wi& a mix- ture of the juice of rue with Attic honey, or the milk of a woman just delivered of a male child : the same result has been produced also by touching the comers of the eyes with the pure juice of the plant. Applied topically, with polenta, rue carries off defluxions of the eyes ; and, taken witJi wine, or applied topically with vinegar and rose oil, it is a cure for head-ache. If, however, the pain attacks the whole of the head,^^ the rue should be applied with barley-meal and vin- egar.
