History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
which yield the gum which is exported from Barbary to Great Britain, grow principally in the Atlas moun- 
tains. It is a hard withered looking low tree, with a crooked stem, and a grey bark. The gum exudes 
naturally from the bark of the trunk and the branches, in a soft, nearly fluid state, and hardens in the air 
without losing its transparency. It is collected about the middle of December. It has a faint smell when first 
stowed in the warehouses, and is heard to crack spontaneously for many weeks. 
Medicinally gum exerts no action on the living system, but is a simple demulcent, serving to lubricate 
abraded surfaces, and involve acrid matters in the primee viee. In the solid form it is scarcely ever given, 
unless to sheath the fauces, and allay the tickling irritation which occasions the cough in catarrh and phthisis 
pulmonalis ; in which cases a piece of it is allowed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. It is chiefly used in a state 
of mucilage. 
According to Sweet, all the species of Acacia are of easy culture. Those of the hothouse he recommends 
to be grown in loam and peat. " Cuttings," he says, " of most kinds will strike root. From the strongest growing 
kinds, take off large cuttings at a joint, and plunge them in a pot of sand under a hand-glass in the bark-bod.
