One pound of the root commands more money than a bushel of potatoes, and at certain times and places more than a half-dozen bushels. The exports of the root during the past ten years have exceeded six mill lion of dollars in value. Nearly all has gone to China, where an extraor- dinary idea of its medicinal value is entertained. The Chinese use it as a sort of universal panacea, but especi- ally as a tonic in cases of debility The wealthy, wbo can afford it, use il as tea, and employ the most orna. mental and expensive urns for prepar, ing it, while the lower classes art happy in the opportunity of chewing the root, It is held that the moisture injures its healing properties, and thu root is therefore carefully protected from all dampness.
