+ | <span tc1>{{anchor:s1}}Chimophila Umbellata.</span> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <span grade2>{{anchor:s2}}Pipsissewa, Prince's Pine, Ground Holly. {{anchor:s3}}Pyrolaceae.</span> | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{anchor:s4}}Grows in all parts of the United States and in Northern Europe and Asia. {{anchor:s5}}The Pyrolaceae are very similar to the Ericaceae from which we have the three great medicines, Ledum palustre, proved by Hahnemann, <span grade2>Rhododendron chrysanthum</span> by Seidel, and <span grade2>Kalmia latifolia</span> by the Allentown College; Arbutus uva ursi (Arctostaphylos officinalis) is still waiting for a prover. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{anchor:s6}}Used by the aborigines in various complaints, principally scrofula, rheumatism and kidney affections. {{anchor:s7}}It was also a popular remedy with European settlers. {{anchor:s8}}Proved by Jeanes, in 1840; by G. Bute, 1856, and later introduced into our literature by E. M. Hale. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{anchor:s9}}Dr. H. P. Gatchell (one of the provers of the maculata) has made clinical use of it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{anchor:s10}}This collection contains a few symptoms by E. P. Scales, Mass. {{anchor:s11}}Trans., vol. 4, p. 601. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{anchor:s12}}Our learned Doctor S. A. Jones has, in his masterly way, given us the history of this plant. {{anchor:s13}}We annex the gist of his compilation: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{anchor:s14}}In 1578, it was recommended "to heal wounds." | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{anchor:s15}}In 1633, "fistulas, malignant ulcers, burns, ulcers of the kidneys." | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{anchor:s16}}In 1640, again for ulcers of the kidneys and neck of the bladder, fluxes of blood, humors, or women's too abundant courses.{{anchor:s17}}"It taketh away inflammation rising upon the pains of the hurt, and hindereth any, being presently applied after the hurt received; useful also for foul ulcers had to be cured, as also for cankers and fistulas." | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{anchor:s18}}In 1657, it was pronounced a principal herb for the throat. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{anchor:s19}}In 1804 and 1814, it was recommended as a useful diuretic. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{anchor:s20}}The authorities quoted by Dr. Jones are Dodoen's History of Plants; Girarde, General History of Plants; Parkinson, The Theatre of Plants; Cole's Paradise of Plants; Tournefort's Complete Herbal; Barton's Collection for an Essay towards Materia Medica of the United States. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{anchor:s21}}The Huron and other Indian nations use it as a diuretic and in gravelly complaints. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{anchor:s22}}Pursch, Flor. Amer., says it is useful in hysteria. | ||
