First the garden or Bohemian AngeKca^ (fig. 99), whose stems are 

 frequently preserved with augar and employed in making certain 

 liquors. Its root is odorous, sudorific, diuretic, stimulant, and renders 

 great seryice as a digestive and stomachic. In America A. Atropur- 

 purea ^ serves nearly the same purposes. A. syhestris,^ Omelini, 

 decurrens, montana, lucida, liitoralis, nemorosa * and others have the 

 same properties, hut in less degree. A. Levisticum,^ a plant of middle 

 Europe, has leaves of a tolerably agreeable odour which are eaten 

 when young. The mountaineers feed their cattle with them to cure 

 lung diseases. The root and the leaves were formerly administered 

 as stimulants and tonics. 



The Corianders are also aromatic plants ; but the perfume is 

 mingled with a disagreeable odour like that of bugs (whence the 

 generic name). The cultivated Coriander^ (fig. 134-138) is however 

 used in some countries to aromatize bread, cake, beer and cider. 

 With several southern nations the fruit is a masticatory ; it is carmi- 

 native and stimulant, and as such is useful in veterinary medicine. 

 C. testiculatum '' (fig. 139) has the same properties,® though less used. 

 Ziogoeda cuminoides ' (fig. 180-184), very odorous, has the same uses
