Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Plant World, Vol. 4
The peculiar power, mentioned above, of the parts of the plant which face the rising sun is repeatedly referred to, and to the same class of facts belongs this, that the root of Smilax China, which God created here, plucked when the moon is on the increase, is an even better remedy for pains, tumors, etc., than the celebrated Palo de China, which rots the bones. Let them that do not believe this take from the sepulchre one who has been cured by the Palo de China and they shall see all his bones rotted.
