Antiquated Nonsense

Antiquated Nonsense.

A wild bull grows tame if bound with the twigs of a fig tree. Amber draws all light things to it except basil and such as are dipped in oil. A loadstone will not draw a piece of iron that is rubbed with garlic. Now, all these as to matter of fact are very evident, but it is hard, if not altogether impossible, to find the cause. --Plutarch.
