 Parts of England^ which are indif- 

 ferently gathered, and brought to 

 the Markets, and fold for the Roman 

 Wormwood ; from which they differ 

 greatly in the Colour of their Leaves, 

 as alfo in their Tafte and Smell :

 Stomach. However, as that is now 

 generally difuled, it would be to little 

 Purpofe to recommend it ; fince it 

 would be difficult to alter a Prac- 

 tice which has been fo long conti- 

 nued.
