Seite 325 - Derewna, and are very abundant in some seasons, and scarce in others. They are collected in the hottest months, and hung up by a string in the air to dry : some dry of themselves on the ground, and are said to be far more narcotic than those artificially preserved. Small...
Seite 326 - So very exciting to the nervous system, in many individuals, is this fungus, that the effects are often very ludicrous.
