‘, CATTERED widely throughout Europe and America, though 
a native of the East Indies, the Endive is of the same genus as 
the Chicory, already described on page 82. Its name in the 
vernacular is a formation from the Latin name zntybus. It is an 
» annual of a hardy nature, and is often cultivated for and forms 
an excellent salad, but is more used abroad than in America. 
, It is of value in medicine, possessing cooling and anti-scorbutic prop- 
erties, and French physicians use it as a remedy for jaundice. The 
leaves are a dark green and much curled.

ETTER to hunt in fields for health unbought, 
Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught, 
The wise for cure on exercise depend, 
God never made His work for man to mend. 
—Dryden. 
E own that numbers join with care and skill, The starts of passion, the reproach of pain; 
A temperate judgment, a devoted will; With hearts affected, but with looks serene, 
Men who suppress their feelings, but who feel Intent they wait through all the solemn scene, 
The painful symptoms they delight to heal; Glad if a hope should rise from nature’s strife 
Patient in all their trials, they sustain To aid their skill and save a lingering life. 
— Crabbe. 
HEN nature cannot work, the effect of art is void, 
For physic can but mend our crazy state, 
Patch an old building, not a new create. 
—Dryden. 
E intent on somewhat that may ease HE ingredients of health and long life are 
Unhealthy mortals, and with curious search Great temperance, open air, 
Examines all the properties of herbs. Easy labor, little care. 
—YFohn Philips. —Sir Philip Sidney. 
MICKLE is the powerful grace that lies 
In plants, herbs, stones, and their true qualities. dt 
—Shakespeare.
