The accounts which you have collected from so
many various sources. OF the wonderful medicinal
efficacy of the Canchalagua. are not in least exag-
gerated, and can be implicitly relied upon as cor
rect.
MY own experience has shown me, in very many
cases, during a residence of some years in Jdfa
California how almost certain it is 10 break up a
fever, and of its powerful effect as a tonic to
strengthen the patient. alter the fever has lett in-
deed. taken as a tonic merely, It surpasses all 9th
ers, in its Strengthening qualities. which have
come under my observation. In cases of1Fever
and Ague. with the Mexicans. and Califor ians
the Canchalagua is the sole remedy andIseIdom IL
ever, does it Iailin its efficacy
Sdrs0pdriiia grows in abundance on the West
Coast of Mexico, but the Inhabitants seldom make
use of it in all cases giving the preference to the
Canchalagua, which possesses the same powers,
but with more speedy and decided effect.
The anchaisgua, according to my observation,
acts principally upou the blood, purifying il, and
restoring i, from q diseased state, to that which
gives it the most healthy action. Amongst tho
CaliGornians, it is the universal custom, as the
warm weather approaches, Tor almost every adult
member Of their families 10 go through a regular
course of the Canchaiagua that is, they take an
infusion of thu plant three or f0t T times during the
day, for perhaps a week or ten days the blood
then becomes pure and thin, andthey are eneablel
to endure the greatest ~fatigues, aud to maintain a
comfortable state of health during the perio1 OF
most excessive heat. By a course of the Cazcha-
lagua, the whole system appears to undergo a rau-
ical change the paTlaker seems to receive q thor

Taken as a tonic, I have PERSONAL, experienced
its Powe full effects, and can amply testify to the
relief il afforded.
