There are two distinct types of OLen e. Nropeu, one representing the plant in its wild state, and the other t ie improvement that has been brought about by cultivation. In its natural state the Olive is n small tree or shrub with spines on its branches, and producing but comparatively little fruit. This type is to be found in Greece and various parts of Western Asia and North Africa. The improved type is a taller and larger tree, which, under favourable conditions, will attain a heigh of thirty...-five to forty feet, and whose branches are free from spines. It also bears much more freely than the wild type, the fruit being a drupe similar in shape to a damson, with a fleshy pericarp, which has a nauseous bitter taste. USES. In modern medicine Olive oil is considered to be nutrient, emollient, and laxative. For chest diseases its use is often prescribed with advantage. It is freely used in the preparation of ointments, liniments and plasters. When rubbed into the skin by continued friction the oil is said to have proved a preventative of contagion from fevers and the plague.
