patient rigidly confined to a diet of water biscuit or crackers. No
other food or drink is allowed for 40 or 50 days. A compress of silk,
or a mild discutient plaster is to be worn on the tumour. The Myrica
seems to promote absorption and keep up the strength.
THIMBLE WEED.—Rudbeckia Lacinata.
In wasting diseases of the kidneys, this plant has proved an excel-
lent medicine. It is diuretic and balsamic. Its properties were first
learned by noticing its effects on a sheep that had lost the use of its
hind legs. This animal daily dragged itself to this plant, and eat of it,
when to the astonishment of all who noticed its situation, it recovered.
By shepherds and herdsmen it has since been used with happy effects
in stranguary and similar diseases. It is given in decoction, without
much nicely as to dose.
There are many other kinds worthy the trial of physicians, such as
Bellwort, for curing the poison of rhus, and removing apthous sore
throat; Cohosh, for rheumatism; Flea Bane, essential oil in harmorr-
hage; Ladies' Slipper and Skunk Cabbage, as anti-spasmodics; Snake-
head, in jaundice, &c. &c. For a full description of the properties of
these and many other active medicinal plants indigenous to our coun-
try, see Rafinesque's Medical Flora, Bigelow's and Barton's Medical
Botanies, American Dispensatories, &c. &c. where it will be found
that the use of many of our foreign drugs may be advantageously su-
perseded by our own native remedies,
