This herb is an ingredient also in the three alexitereal waters; and its essential oil in the stomach plaster and stomach pills. Lewis's Mat. Med. MENTHA Piperita. PEPPER-MINT. Herb. L. E. D. The leaves have a more penetrating smell than any of the other mints, and a much warmer, pungent, glowing taste like pepper, sinking as it were into the tongue.
They seem to have had information in advance of all the big shipments of treasure leaving San Francisco and Carson City, Nevada, as well as of private shipments." "Wise Injuns, eh?" "I should say so. They have even been able to spot shipments of United States gold en route from the mints in Frisco and Carson to Washington, and in two instances have got away with it." "Wow!
If depreciated paper is to be continued as the permanent currency of the country, and all our coin is to become a mere article of traffic and speculation, to the enhancement in price of all that is indispensable to the comfort of the people, it would be wise economy to abolish our mints thus saving the nation the care and expense incident to such establishments, and let all our precious metals be exported in bullion.

Of coppers there were English pence and halfpence and French sous; and pennies were issued at local mints in Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The English shilling had everywhere degenerated in value, but differently in different localities; and among silver pieces the Spanish dollar, from Louisiana and Cuba, had begun to supersede it as a measure of value.
Dropping his voice to a cautious low tone, he continued, 'She's all there a round ten thousand dollars in yellow-boys; now this is my little idea: What I don't know about raising cattle, ain't worth knowing. There's mints of money in it, in Californy.
By the aforesaid commission of inquiry all this might be most effectually prevented, an honest, indigent tradesman preserved, knavery detected and punished; Mints, Friars, and privilege-places suppressed, and without doubt a great number of insolencies avoided and prevented; of which many more particulars might be insisted upon, but I think these may be sufficient to lead anybody into the thought; and for the method, I leave it to the wise heads of the nation, who know better than I how to state the law to the circumstances of the crime.
The two men smoked in silence. Presently Ransom said abruptly: "Dead struck on Mints, ain't ye?" "I am," said Smoky laconically. "Told her so hay?" "'Bout a million times." "What does she say?" Smoky blew some rings of smoke before he answered. "She says 'Shucks!" "That don't sound encouragin'." "It ain't. Fact is, she thinks me a clam." "A clam?" "That's right.
