Note 1457 — BOOK XX. REMEDIES DERIVED FROM THE GARDEN PLANTS.
John Bostock translation
The medicinal properties of endive vary, according as it is employed wild or cultivated, and according to the part employed. The leaves are more bitter than the stalk, but not so much so as the root. The juice of all the varieties is very similar, probably, to that of the lettuce; but, as Fée says, little use has been made of it in modern times.
