The following history of the Rock Rose plant
and its medicinal properties, we take from the
New Haven Palladium, March, 1852.
"The increased interest manifested in the
Rock Rose plant, in con equence of the many
wonderful cures effected by "Myers' Compound
Extract of Rock Rose" calls for brie history
of it, in order to correct any erroneous opinion
that may have been entertained concerning it ;
and also TO set in true light the nature Of a
plant which prompises to be universally beneti-
cial.
We are indepted to the United States Dspen-
satory of lS47, for the following description Of
it:
1t is entirely different from the common Rose.
1t is a red stemmed obong leaf plant, having a
bitter taste. In addition TO a remarkable pecu-
iarity of the plant, of bearing two crops Of
flowers in one seaeOn, ii also has another inter
esting and beautiful prosperity.
DR.. EATON ....
Says that in the months of November and
December, he has seen hundreds of these plants
sending cut near their roots, broad, thin, curved
iCe-c.y stalls, about an inch in breadth, which
melted during the day, and were renewed in the
morning. For more minute and analy yticaI

ITS MEDICAL History AND PROPERTIES
Are far the most important, since upon, these
depends its value 10 the community. DIR. Lou

| land, that it was cultivated from seeds. Ever
since 1906.

eating his baths, which became greatly celebra
ted for the cure of similar diseases.

also Glandular SwelIings on the neck. At tn
age Of l6 he was much worse had eight all
sCes,es on the neck, three ulcers on the shouI
der, and three on the hips He consulted Dr
Munson and Spadmg of New Haven, but all {
no purpose. In 1916, when forty years of age

ing Mr.. G.. with his head drawn on one side, an
unable to labor, advised him to try the Roe
Rose regularly, which he did for four weeks

his medical brethren, was published in pam
phcl

since the delivery of this address, "the plant un
der consideration has been more fully tested, ii
virtues developed, its character better establish

desire, inclOsing this statement, that 1t may be
iouuC to lessen the suilerings of our deceased
and dying humanity. EDWIN Il. WARREN
