Meal, what affords a finer and wholfomer 
Bread ? We have many other Inftances of 
the like kind, 
Obf IV. Since this noxious, tenacious, 
clammy Juice, exudes out of the Leaf by 
roafting, but not its finer, pleafanter, and 
ufeful Parts, we fuppofe that the firft lies 
chiefly, either in the Interfaces of the Fi- 
bres and Veffels of the Leaf, or in its larger 
Juice bearing Veffels ; or laftly, is its per- 
fpired Matter, the groffer Part whereof ad- 
heres to the upper and lower Side of the 
Leaf, like that clammy Juice on Oak Leaves 
in a hot dry Summer ; and that this clam- 
my Juice being gone, the other Parts are 
difentangled and fet at liberty, expand and 
fpread themfelves over the whole Subftance 
of the Leaf, and are eafily feparated from 
it 5 or being fet at liberty, they take another 
and new Form, which they had not before. 
Obf. V. The Coarfenefs and Compa&ed- 
nefs of this whole Shrub, fhew it to be no 
tender delicate Plant, but a very hardy one, 
fit to endure the cold as well as hot Cli- 
mates, where there is a proper Soil. The 
like is hinted to us from its being an Ever- 
green.
