plants
and
some
species
of
nettles
growing
on
the Alps.
There
are
some
other
ingredients
and
herbs
used,
but
these
are
a
secret
belonging
to
the
Carthusian
monks,
from
which
order
the
name
Chartreuse
is
derived.
It
was
formerly
distilled
by
the
monks
at
the
monastery
of
the
Grande
Chartreuse
in
France,
but
since
their
expulsion
it
has
been
made
at
Tarra-
gona,
Spain,
where
the
order
is
now
established.

infusion
of
the
juice
of
the

berries,
and

a
delightful
cordial.
Its
medicinal
attributes
are
very
special,
being
slightly
laxative
and
very
soothing
in
cases
of

pain.
With

is
also

invaluable
for
indigestion

as
an
after-dinner

delicate
effect
to
the
small
quantity
of
alcohol
which
this
cordial
contains.
