Fruits : then they muft be replanted abroad from 
the faid beds, into a hot, moifi, and fertile place, 
at fuch time as they have gotten three Leaves a

fruit comes to the greateft perfection our Country 
will give it in September following. The Noli me

but that which grows with us in Gardens flowers 
in June or July.

Virtues with the Spiritous Tintture, but much 
more powerful^ bathed upon the Nerves, it comforts

expel the Stone in the Reins : but without ’doubt 
it powerfully cleanfes the Reins and Urinary palTa-
