     * 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.
