1 om told that considerable at. tcntion has been D1114 W botanical, and that durifl8 1w autumn a fair quantity of Mezereon lorries had been sathemd for sale; but 1 have not heard how the vcn- ture "panned out." The shrub it- self is known to botanists as Daphne Mezersum and is adventi. tive from Europe. In our own fair Isle the Mezereon has taken up its habitation on the hillside just above Hunter Biveig and along some the roadside: in the Dunstaffnage strict. Hen is a concise descrip- tion from my note-book: "A hardy low shrub, up to 9 dm. high, flow- ing before the leaves appear. Flow- crs purplish-rose-colored, in lateral clusters, fragrant. Leaves lanccolato. smooth. Berries (drapes) red. clustered. showy."

Previous to the time of Linnaeus. ‘Tartonraii-a" was the popular name of this plant. Old Gerardo. the herbalist, who never minced words, gives it another name: he says, "Tarfonraire, called in Eng- land Gutwort which groweth by pea, and catharticall, not of long continuance among us, and a stranger very goodly to behold and therefore in the moi-her £00118 01 the Mass-films in called tar- fonraii-e." According to this, tho plant (most probably the berries) “as known to be a drastic purgative. new to England, and found near the seaside; very showy, and well known to the ancient inhabitants of Marseilles. who had already named it. The modern herbalists class Mezereon bark u altcrative and irritant. In fiance the fresh bark has long been used by rustic practitioners as an application to .he skin. Under certain manage- ment it produces a. continued ser. ous discharge without blistering, and in this way ocoasi little pain or inconvenience A piece of bark about an inch square, is first steeped in vinegar for a. short

_ skin. and over it is jlantaln leaf. This application re- newed, morning and evening, is continued till the part is oauterized and a serous discharge ensues, when a. renewal once a day is suf- ficient to continue the issue for any length of time. The bark and ber- ries, says Rhlnd, in hi; “Vegetable Kingdom" (1855), formed into oint- mcnts, have for awlong time been used as external applications to old ulcers and slow healing sores, Slices of the root, which is very aci-ld. were frequently chewed as a rein- cdy against toothache

All parts of the plant u a mat- ter of fact, are extremel uorid, and if chewed and retaine in the mouth, will give rise to great heat and long-continued inflammation of the throat. The berries too have the same corrosive quality and prove poisonous to man as well as to dogs and other quadrupeds; yet birds can eat them with impunity!
