Tur poppy yields a narcotic juice in con- 
siderable quantity, which is frequently admi- 
nistered to procure sleep and relieve pain; on 
this account, it has been made the symbol of 
consolation. The ancients, who regarded sleep 
as the great physician, and the great consoler of 
human nature, crowned the god of sleep with a 
wreath of poppies.

sal be transplanted into another bed, and in the 
autumn it may be removed to the spot where it
