ICELAND MOSS grows plentifully in
"a the Island.of Iceland. from whence it
takes IFS name, and in all the high north
ern ATTITUDES Of Europe and Asia, where
its Medicinal qualities have been long
known, and highly appreciated. This
plant contains a larger proportion Of Ve-
getable Mucilage than any other known
substance, and in combination with it is
a bitter principle which acts most bensii
l~cially 10 giving strength in cases Of great
weakness and debility Of the lungs. The
knowledge of many of our most valuable
medicines, for the cure of diseases, have
been obtained from observing their effect
on brute animals;-so in the case Of this
most invaluable Moss. Its virtues were
first discovered by their effects On the har
dy, long lived, and sagacious Rein Deer,
who derives its principal nourishment from
the Iceland Moss, & whose milk becomes
so highly imbued with its Balsamic virtues
that il is used with the greatest confidence
as a sovereign remedy by the inhabitan Is
Of all those countries, for the cure of all
diseases of the breast s. lungs, In France
this compound has long been known, and
extensively used and to its salutary ef-
fects, as much as TO the s~alubrity Of the
climate, is probably owing the very small
number Of fatal cases OF consumption in
hat country, compared with Great Bri
tain and the United States. This Syrup
contains all the medicinal virtues of the
Moss in the most concentrated form, and
is prepared from the original receipt from
Harris, only by
