Sometimes modern life catches up with the Middle Ages. Yesterday, in the local superette, the better half was in search of decent toothpaste. Most of the tubes on offer were massive, with lurid claims for what they did for your teeth, gums, sex life etc., but all she wanted was toothpaste. Finally one caught her eye, right at the floor level of the display. It was one she had used before, and had liked. It was called Vademecum and claimed to be full of beneficial plant extracts.
On bringing it home, I read the ingredients: guess what, the principal active ingredient was sage. Takes you right back to the novella of Simona and Pasquino in the Decameron... Just hope that this particular preparation does not produce the same end result (convulsions, skin blackening, ventral swelling and rapid demise).
