This is the true Veronica of the fhops, which 
hands fo well recommended by Hoffman, Boer- 
haave, and others, as an excellent and approved 
Deobhruent. What is fold for it in the fhops 
here in the country, by the common herb-ga- 
therers is the Veronica pratenfis minor of Gerard 
and Parkinfon, called Little or Smooth Fluellin 
or Paul’s Betony, which is abundantly more com- 
mon than the true fort. It is not long fince the 
Veronica was a fafhionable remedy for the gout, 
fome taking it in the form of tea, and others the- 
powder of the dried leaves.
