Cucurbita sp., Pumpkin.

“The seeds [of the pumpkin] cure wounds, burning of the lungs . . . and hectic fever. From the seeds milk-water is made and the peel, chopped up to small pieces and cooked in oil, is laid on wounds [as an ointment]. The pumpkin quenches thirst, helps passing urine and stool, diminishes [the production] of male ‘seeds,’ and tames ‘Venus Lust.’ ”
