tanned in 1877 cases Of pulmonary con.
sumption treated by DIR. Quinlan with
mullen alone. he draws the following
conclusions. which are condensed from
his original article. viz.
II. In the earlier and pretubercular
stage Of pulmonary consumption. mullen
has a weight-increasing and curative
power greater than that OF cod liver oil.

The method OF using the mullen. which
originated among the Irish peasantry and
was adopted by DR.. Quinlan Just as he
foundi II, Is as follows. Three ounce of
the fresh green leaves. or about ten times
that much OF the dried. are boiled in a
pint Of fresh cows milk. After boiling a
momen the infusion Is allowed TO
stand and -slpe" for ten minutes,
when 1t Is strained. sweetened aud
drunk while warm. This quantity is taken
twice or three times a day. II is gener
ally much relished by the patients, who
regard 1t as a pleasant article Of diet
rather than as a medicine. The smoke
Of the mullen inhaled into the respira-
tory passages relieves irritation and spas
modic cough.
DR.. Wilfert states that he has followed
DR.. Quinlan's method In twenty cases Of
undoubted pulmonary phthislc. all of
them more or less advanced. and all i'm
proved during the administration OF null

results are certainly very encouraging.
