 * called the name.

   In consequence of the term manna having been given to a drug
   which is now much used in England, many persons have
   ignorantly supposed it to be the same sort of thing as that
   miraculously sent for the sustenance of the children of
   Israel in the wilderness.  The manna of commerce comes from
   Calabria and Sicily, where it oozes out of a kind of ash
   tree, from the end of June to the end of July, and is a
   thick, clammy, sweet juice, partly drawn from the tree by the
   rays of the sun, partly by the puncture of insects, and
   partly by artificial means.  The European manna is not so
   good as the Oriental, which is gathered in Syria, Arabia, and
   Persia, from the Oriental oak, and from a shrub which is
   called in Persia {teranjabin.}

 * and it was.
