Dear Madam: We beg to acknow-
ledge receipt of your favor of the 2Sth
ult., and to inform you that the sample
enclosed therein for Identification is
known botanically as Euphorbia macu-
lata, Lin, and commonly as spotted
spurge or spotted ~purslane. 1t is COM
mon throughout the country in sandy
localities, such as sides of roads,
bitches, etc, There is no demand for
a medical preparation of this plant by
the medical profession of this country,
and, so far as we are aware. it has no
commercial value. 1t has been used
III domestic practice as an a%stringent
and tonic, and therefore would be use
full in summer complaints in childr n,
as mentioned in your communication.
In o%verdoses it is narcotic, in comm1n
with all other species of Euphorbla
with a milky juice. Trusting that or
remarks may prove of interest to you,
we beg to remain, very truly yours,
Parke, Davis & Co."
The majority of the Home Health

common spotted spurge or purslane as
a very good and economical remedy
for summer complaint.
