General therapeutics and materia medica (volume 1): adapted for a medical text book . hat he has seensome as large as green peas. It is of a whitish orbrownish-white colour. Pearl sago is in small hardgrains, of about the size of a pins head, which are of Particles of pale yellowish-white, reddish-white, or grayish-white (Pereira.)colour, or are translucent. It is sometimes bleached with chlorinatedlime. When the different varieties are examined by the microscope,they appear to consist of oval or more or less ovateparticles, many of which are more or less brokenin sago meal; in common sago, they are somewhatmore broken and less regular in their shape ; andin pearl sago they are ruptured,—peculiarities whichare considered to be produced by the process ofgranulation. (Pereira.) Sago possesses the ordinary properties of starch, PartIC,e*Pe!dra?)t0 sag°and is used as a demulcent and nutrient in the samecases as arrowroot and the other feculaceous substances already con-sidered. A table-spoonful gives the proper consistence to a pint ofmilk or water. Fig. Several species of Cycadaceae, which are allied to the Palmas, con-tain, in the cellular structure within Fig. stem, an abundance of starch,which may be separated in the samemanner as sago. These species areCycas circinalis, C. revoluta, and They furnish Japan sago,which, perhaps, never reaches GreatBritain or this country. (Pereira.)
