12 Agaricus albus, Agaricus muscarius — In our day it is
13 but little used in Europe ; the Eastern doctors continue to employ

29 probably from the mountains of Shiras. The red-flowered is

31 of either of them, which is also to be had at the bazaars, is
32 considered as one of the most effective drugs.
