The small sh ub which produces this
fruit is very well worth the farme 5 no.
tice, and perhaps may prove of greater
importance than has yet been known. 1t
is native Of England, and is hardy e.
nough to live ANY where in hedges. 1t
must not b. considered as proper shrub
to make the fence; bu, it may very well
be planted here aud there amoag the
rest, for the sake of fruit We wee long
acquainted with the use Of these in tarts,
before Me. Baker, very worthy member
of the Royal Society, revived tselr use
in sore throats for which they were for
merly so famous in EEgard, that the
shrub wa, called squinancy wort, that Is,
quincy herb and Tor which we do not at
this time know a greater medicine. 1t
has been long known in France that this
fruit is good for the feverish disposition
o! cattle; and that when pursing comes
on with such an illness, il is a sovereign
remedy. Instinct directs cattle to fiHd
It where it is native; and il it were
planted in hedges they would not fail to
seek It out for their own benefit. The
terrible disease among the horned cattle,
which has ragged SO many years through
out great part Of Europe, always is at
tenaed with an insamma,ion OF the
threat. which, continues through the whole !
intestinal canal. From what we know
of the effects of this fruit in sore threats
among. adr own species, and in the pug
ings and teverish illness OF cattle, may It
not be reasonable to expec, great good
from il 10 this terrible dlsrrders
