Comments
Dr. Tully, of New Haven, has found it useful in catarrh, asthma, syphilis, rheumatism, and worms. Dr. Fowler, of New York, speaks in the most unequivocal terms of its virtues in amenorrhea. Dr. A. C. Jones, of Philadelphia, has given it in several cases of suppressed menstruation, without benefit. Dr. Hale, of Michigan, thinks it is the Asclepias syriaca which is so useful in amenorrhea, and not the Asclepias incarnata.
