Jorih Leaves hot much unlike the Garden Angelica 
except in We Magnitude , the Stalks alfo being red ’

The Virtues. 
X. As to the Virtues of thele Wild Angelica's. 
they are exaHly the fame with the Garden Kind' 
which we have largely delivered before, and we 
were the more willing to he explicite in the Garden 
kind, there, becaufe we intended to fay nothing of 
tjjejittues here: For every Preparation of the 
Wild kinds has the fame Intentions and Ufes with 
thole of the Garden, and therefore to them you 
are referred: Yet here is one thing to be taken no- 
tice of, viz. That tho the Virtues of both Garden 
and Wild kinds are one and the fame, yet the 
Garden kind much exceeds the Wild in’ Strength 
and Vertue, and therefore is rather to be chofen 
(where it may be>before them. Thele are dryer than 
the Garden kind, and ought to be put into all Diet 
Drinks for Wounded Perfons.
