| The cantharides or Spanish Flies, is a species of insect every one has heard of. |
| Melt the petrolatum and add the tincture of cantharides, and while cooling add the other ingredients. |
| On a beautiful rug, I set aside the gilded sword and a package of cantharides, designed for the king. |
| The mucus of the bladder is increased by cantharides, and perhaps by oil of turpentine. |
| The use of cantharides and other aphrodisiac remedies to stimulate the sexual organs is a most pernicious practice. |
| In 1752 a Frenchman was prescribed 2 drams of cantharides for a fever and in the next two months bedded his wife at least 87 times. |
