All the Sfecie-s of thefe two Genera, except the lail: of 
each of them, are common in Canada, whence Mr. Sar- 
razi», Counfeilor jn. the upper Council, Phyfician to 
bis Majefty, and Correfpondent of the Royal Academy

giiiia, call the firft Species of iiralla by the JS^ame of Sar- 
faparilla, becaufe its Roots have almoft the fame Figure

Mr. Sarrazin vvrites, that he had a Patient who had 
been cured of an Anafarca^ about two Years before^, by 
the ufe of a Drink made of thefe floors. Thac>able 
Phyfician aflures us alfb, that the Roots of the fecohd 
Species, well boyPd and apply ’d by way of Cataplapne', 
are very excellent for the curing of' old Ulcers;' as al* 
fo the Decoction of them, with which they bath ahd fy- 
ringe the Wounds. He does not at all doubt, but the 
Virtues of the third Species ( which i (hall briefly de- 
fcribe ) are the fame with thofe of the fecond. 
Its Roots creep, and' fend forth Stalks, ■ which rife 
commonly to the Height- of a Foot and half, and fomc- 
times to two Foot ; the bo:tom part of them is rough, 
with reddifh, ftiff and prickling Hairs Thefe Stalks
