Reading edition
“It is said that if the bones of a green frog which has been eaten by ants are taken, those on the left side will provoke hatred, and those on the right side excite love” (“Div. Cur.,” c. 23)…. “One species of frog called rubeta, because it lives among brambles, is said to have wonderful powers. Brought into an assembly of people it imposes silence. If the little bone in its right side be thrown into boiling water it chills it at once. It excites love when put into a draught” (“Castle Saint Angelo and the Evil Eye,” by W. W. Story). ↑
