Its Medical history and Properties.
Are far the most important, since upon these
depends its value to the continuity DR..
London says that in l79o il was so valuable
in England, that twas cultivated from seeds.
Ever since 1906,
Prof. Ives, Of Yale College,
Has habitually used il withIgreat success in
Scrofula and Ckroaic disease and through
him its virtues were made known, until, rs
DIR. Tyler says, "it is now in this section New
Haven a common article in domestic prac-
tice for the cure of Scrofhla and cutaneous
diseases" DR.. Whitlow, Scotch botanst Of
notoriety, while travelling in America, in
1914, learned its use in Canada. Returning
to England, he employed it in medicating his
baths, which became greatly celebrated for
the cure of similar diseases.
DIR. Parish, of Philadelphia,
Remarks that it has been successfully used
in bad cases Of Scrottlous diseases.
DR.. J. II. Thompson, of the same place,
Prescribed it in bad cases of Scrofulous pa
tients at Wills Hospital His success sttrac-
ted the attention Of senior physicians He
reports the following remarkable case Of
White Swelling of the hip, in February,
1874; The lad was seven years old, and had
the dsease for three years. The bone was
dislocated upward and outward There was
a large opening on the hip leading to the bone,
into which could thrust my finger. coun-

DR.. s. EULER. of Hartford.
Administered the Rock Rose to a Scrofulous
female, in which the antiscrofulous remedies
bad been applied without success. The dis
ease was fully arrested by it.
DR.. d. A. TYLER, of New Haven, c.,
Says that Mrs. G., Of delicate constitution,
when nineteen years Of aye, Was afflicted
with cough. and her neck was thickly stud
ded with tumors. A free use of the decoc-
ton Of the Rock Rose was used, and under
the influence of this remedy her heath was
restored, and she not been afflicted with any
such symptoms sine,.
He also relates the following Mr. C., from
a child, was afflicted with the Scrofua, and
had also Glsndular Swellings on the neck
At the age of sixteen, he was much worse;
had eight abscesses on the neck, three ulcers
on the shoulder, and three on thu hips. He
consulted Drs. Munson and Spalding of New
Haven, but all to no purpose. In 1917,
when forty years Of age, Mr.. Smith, q farmer
from Long Island, observing Mr.. c., with
his head drawn on one side, and unable to
labor, advised him to try the Rock Rose regu-
larly, which he did for four weeks The ul-
GERS broke, discharged and healed. The etu-
mors lessened in size, his head resumed is
natural position, and be went regularly to
work. Negec.ng the use Of the Rock Rose.
Scrofulous symptoms again returned, and .hey
also bled at the lungs, for which Prof Ives
prescribed the Rock Rose. He used it again
with the same beneficial result
DIR. SPERRY,
In his medical work published in l947. qao:es
the strong commendation of DR.. Eli Ives.
Professor in Yale College, who, in his lectures
to the medical students, recommended the
use of the Rock Rose. even in cases where
the disease is uncertain.
The value of it has also been set forth BY
Dr. Tyler, Of New Haven, Ct., in dissertation
avowedly prepared for that purpose, which
afterwards. at the request of several Of bis
medical brethren, was published in pam
lphlet
We quote from the preface. He says
that sice the delivery of this address, that
"the plant under consideration has been more
fully tested, its virtues deyolved, its character
better established. This dissertation is~pub-
ished by the advice and appreciation of seve-
raj medical friends The object of it is to
lay before the profession, and the public the
virtues OF a plant too much neglected. l ask
for this plan: an impartial trial" AT the
close of his address, he says-"I have other
interesting testimony, and might readily, col
lect still more. but will conclude by asking
only o. the profession and the public, more
extended trial of the Rock Rose"
The testimony is from men experienced
in medicine, who are universally acknowl !.
, edged to be the best judges. In this respect
: the medicinal history of no plant will bear Z
r comparison with il. Its parallel has moi
been found. By its own unaided powers, 1
has accomplished that which no other medt
: cine could, and has effected an entire revolt
ton in the system.
