s| omach of the Crawfish (Astucus fluvialilis) are found, at the time the animalis about to change its shell, two calcareous concretions,commonly called crab’s eyes or crab’s stones (lapilli cancro-rum), which were formerly ground and employed in medi-cine, as absorbents and antacids. They consist of carbonateof lime and animal matter principally, with a little phos-phate of lime. Their use is now obsolete. In the shops,imitations of them (prepared with chalk and mucilage, orsize) are still met with.
The black-clawed or large edible Crab (Cancer Pagurus) wasat one time an officinal animal. Its claws (chela cancrorum)when prepared by grinding, were used for similar purposesto the crab’s eyes. Their composition is similar.
