the Canchalagua is the sole remedy and seldom i

SarsdpdriUG grows in abundance on the West
Coast of Mexico, but the inhabitants seldom max
use of it in all cases giving the preference to the
Canchalasua, which possesses the same powers
but with more speedy and decided effect.
The CanChalagua, according to my observation
acts principally upon the blood, purifying it, anC
restoring it from a diseased state, to that which
gives it the most healthy action. Amongst the
Californians, it is the universal custom. as thu
