"The Citrus Medica, like the orange-tree, is a native of Asia. It was introduced into Europe from Persia or Media, was first cultivated in Greece, afterwards in Italy, as early as the second century. It is considered almost a specific for prevention and cure of scurvy. Revillont, a French physician, recommends it as a gargle in diphtheritic affection of fauces, but states that it is without action on the white lenticular patches." --U. S. D.
