25 them, from books, but have long since given up using them.
26 The red ones were formerly used by Europeans as astringents,
27 in’ diarrhoea and haemorrhage. The white roots were use<i as an
28 astringent aromatic. The Hr.kirns, however* attribute to both
29 of them, cordial effects, the power of removing tretfiors and of
30 increasing the spermatic secretion, consequently, acting uphrodm-
31 rtctally. The roots are not of different colors merely, but of dif¬
32 ferent plants, and, therefore, it seems rational to suppose they
33 possess different properties; but, experience has taught me that
34 these are somewhat similar: for instance, both of thorn proved
35 urv efficacious in removing itching. The white root must not
36 be confounded with the French oihen hlanc, the Si tone ivjfcrta
37 of modern British Botanists.
