Instinct Of Horses.

Sin the year 1851, my health became very much i'm
paired in consequence Of applying myself too closely to
my business, that Obliged to relinqush it and
go abroad 1 went out into the western country for
the purpose of visiting my friends there and with the
hope of recovering my health. While there as | was
crossing one of the large praes in the great valley of
the Mississippi my attention arrested by large
cluster of beautiful wild flowers; and having
seen the like before l gathered few of them, and
found them to emit very agreeable aromatic odor,
which impressed with the thought that the plant
might possess some valuable medicinal properties. l
made considerable inquiry about it. but no could
give me any information except Dutch farmer who
lived in the neighborhood, He informed me that he
had known horses when afflicted with the heaves and
turned out upon the praires to Craze, to find this
weed, and eat of it daily until they got we'll gather
ed small quantity and brought It to Massachusetts
for the purpose Of ascertaining what were it's real
medicinal properties Since then have proved it to

uon, and other pulmonary affections, that has
