That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa
tion, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment of most
