- [Lichen fontanus major “the great water liverwort” (Dill.)] laudatur, inquit Cæsalpinus, a Recentioribus ad epatis calidam intemperiem, nam refrigerat & siccat, ac tollit obstructiones ob partium tenuitatem (Dill.), it is recommended, says Caesalpinus, by modern people (authors), for a hot [i.e. inflammed] disorder of the liver, for it cools down [i.e. relieves inflammation] and dries [it] up, and it takes away obstructions due to the thinness [i.e. emaciation] of the parts [i.e. organs].
