 stimulant, and sudorific. The root resembles 

 a carrot, and is about the thickness of a man's 

 finger ; when the outer rind has been scraped 

 off, it is steeped in water to extract part of its 

 bitter flavour ; then boiled or stewed the same 

 as carrots or parsneps. The roots are fit for 

 use from August till the following spring.
