In England we have been accustomed
to pay high prices atyertain times for
drugs, such as quinine, cocaine and
others, but drug is used in New China
which in actual value far surpasses any
thing which has been known here.
The substance in question is called
ginseng and is the root of Aralia quin-
quefolia. 1t is so highly valued as a
tonic and stimulsnt medicine in China
that it is sold at from 90 to $50 times its
weight in silver, sometimes for 800 times
that amount. Authorities state, how.
ever, that it possesses no important
medicinal properties. Next to China
the drug is produced in good quality ii
Corea and is the principal article of ex
port from Corea into China. So much
| is this the case that the Coreans are loatl
to part with any seeds Of the plant les
their practical monopoly in this roo
should be invaded.
The wonder is that with such mucl
used commodity at such price steps ar
not taken to cultivate it in sufficien
quantity so as to adjust the balance be
tween supply and demand. The reduc
ton, for example, in the price of qui
nine was largely the result of increase
cultivation of the cinehona plant, an
the same may be said of cocaine in II
spect to the cocoa plant.-Pearson'
