It i an interesting fact that not only
is the presence of extensive growths of
the willow found to tie anti-iiialurial in
iu intluence, but that from a certain
ecie of this same beautiful tree, of it
bark, is ditived the comarutively new
but well known antiseptic preparation
called Hiilicinu; it is of a pure, bitter taste,
highly febrifugal in quality, is largely
ued in various solutions, also in surgical
operations, and is the most effectual pre
ventive of putrefaction In the system yet
known. For these purooee the willow
i now Is-ing extensively and systemat
ically cultivate!. At the end of two

feet long, and are cut and gathered into
bunche like sheave of wheat; in the
stripping building they are steeped in
water and the bark at the larger emls
loosened for a couple of inches by ma
chinery; one by on the witehs are
placed in the mechanical trips-r ami
with a pair of pi ier are pulled through
with a sudden jerk, being then wiped nfT
with a wooden cloth, bundled, and laid
away to dry. All tlie leave and bark
