Dr. Withering says, the expressed juice depurated properly 

 evaporated, and set in a cool place, affords a chrystalline acid 

 salt in considerable quantity, which may be used wherever ve- 

 getable acids are wanted. The London College directs a con- 

 serve to be made with the leaves beaten with thrice their weight 

 of fine sugar. The juice is gratefully acid. An infusion of 

 the leaves is an agreeable liquor in ardent fevers.
